trait ConductorMultiFixture

[source: org/scalatest/concurrent/ConductorMultiFixture.scala]

trait ConductorMultiFixture
extends AnyRef
Trait that can pass a new Conductor fixture into tests, for use in suites such as MultipleFixtureFunSuite or MultipleFixtureSpec, which facilitate writing tests that take different types of fixtures.

Here's an example of the use of this trait to test the ArrayBlockingQueue concurrency abstraction from java.util.concurrent:

 import org.scalatest.fixture.MultipleFixtureFunSuite
 import org.scalatest.concurrent.ConductorMultiFixture
 import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers
 import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue

 class ArrayBlockingQueueSuite extends MultipleFixtureFunSuite with ConductorMultiFixture with ShouldMatchers {
 
   test("calling put on a full queue blocks the producer thread") { (conductor: Conductor) => import conductor._

     val buf = new ArrayBlockingQueue[Int](1)
 
     thread("producer") {
       buf put 42
       buf put 17
       beat should be (1)
     }
 
     thread("consumer") {
       waitForBeat(1)
       buf.take should be (42)
       buf.take should be (17)
     }
 
     whenFinished {
       buf should be ('empty)
     }
   }

   test("calling take on an empty queue blocks the consumer thread") { (conductor: Conductor) => import conductor._

     val buf = new ArrayBlockingQueue[Int](1)

     thread("producer") {
       waitForBeat(1)
       buf put 42
       buf put 17
     }

     thread("consumer") {
       buf.take should be (42)
       buf.take should be (17)
       beat should be (1)
     }

     whenFinished {
       buf should be ('empty)
     }
   }
 }
 

For an explanation of how these tests work, see the documentation for Conductor.

Method Details
implicit def withConductorFixture(fun : (Conductor) => Unit) : (scala.collection.immutable.Map) => Unit
Creates a new Conductor, passes the Conductor to the specified test function, and ensures that conduct gets invoked on the Conductor.

After the test function returns (so long as it returns normally and doesn't complete abruptly with an exception), this method will determine whether the conduct method has already been called (by invoking conductingHasBegun on the Conductor). If not, this method will invoke conduct to ensure that the multi-threaded test is actually conducted.
