This looks like a good fix overall.
Double-checking: All the new uses of .get are in test code? If they're in actual production code that seems worrisome, but not a big deal if it's only in test code.
IME it's useful to think about how any given issue arose and how it can be prevented in the future. In this case, it looks like it would due to a casual use of .get. Since .get undermines the safety Scala provides with Option, it should generally be regarded with suspicion. It may be worth getting a lint rule setup to flag all uses of .get like this for further review.
