Upgrade statsd to Play 2.4

[nemoo]

Is there a timeline for the upgrade of statsd to Play 2.4.0?

No, not really. I'm way too busy to do it myself.

The filter seems to work with 2.4 (without using GlobalSettings) if you do this:

class Filters @Inject() (stats: play.modules.statsd.api.StatsdFilter) extends HttpFilters { val filters = Seq(stats) }

(point play.http.filters to this class if it's not in your root package.)

What would it require to update this for Play 2.4.x at this point? If it compiles, it works, right?

Its been over a year now. This repo doesn't seem to be very popular. I myself am after the statsd plugin. It is just for convenience, but it would save me from bolting in a copy-pasta version.

I think the reason those integration tests don't pass is because of the changes from Play 2.2 to 2.3 .

Apparently, "dependsOn" is intended to work so that if A dependsOn B, then B is available in the classpath for A, but not vice-versa.

But before Play 2.3, it also worked the other way, which is why the project could see routes in the sample project.

As it is now, sample really does "dependsOn" root, because it needs to see the Statsd code - but nothing can see those routes.

I'm not sure it's really possible to have a subproject of this structure, where the subproject is integration tests with an Application and routes. I was only able to get most of the integration tests passing by putting them into an entirely new project.

Two of them still don't pass though - the ones that are designed to fail from the Application throwing RuntimeExceptions. I think the filter isn't properly recording all the timing data in those cases, so this is arguably a bug.

lavrov's commit to his fork looks like it works on 2.4. Although updating to 2.5 looks like a whole other project, due to how Play 2.5 streams data and responses. How else are people integrating statsd into their play projects these days?

@tunesmith have you figured out a good way to get this plugin on more recent builds?

As information the Routes object that the StatsdFilter is dependent on is deprecated in Play 2.4

@deprecated("Use play.api.routing.Router instead", "2.4.0")

It's gone away in 2.5.
