class TestStarting

[source: org/scalatest/events/TestStarting.scala]

case final class TestStarting(val ordinal : Ordinal, val suiteName : java.lang.String, val suiteClassName : scala.Option[java.lang.String], val testName : java.lang.String, val formatter : scala.Option[Formatter], val rerunner : scala.Option[Rerunner], val payload : scala.Option[Any], val threadName : java.lang.String, val timeStamp : Long)
extends Event with scala.Product
Event that indicates a suite (or other entity) is about to start running a test.

For example, trait Suite uses TestStarting to report that a test method of a Suite is about to be invoked.

To create instances of this class you may use one of the factory methods provided in its companion object. For example, given a report function named report, you could fire a TestStarting event like this:

 report(TestStarting(ordinal, userFriendlyName, suiteName, Some(thisSuite.getClass.getName), testName))
 

The suite class name parameter is optional, because suites in ScalaTest are an abstraction that need not necessarily correspond to one class. Nevertheless, it most cases each suite will correspond to a class, and when it does, the fully qualified name of that class should be reported by passing a Some for suiteClassName. One use for this bit of information is JUnit integration, because the "name" provided to a JUnit org.junit.runner.Description appears to usually include a fully qualified class name by convention.

Parameters
ordinal - an Ordinal that can be used to place this event in order in the context of other events reported during the same run
suiteName - the name of the suite containing the test that is starting
suiteClassName - an optional fully qualifed Suite class name containing the test that is starting
testName - the name of the test that is starting
formatter - an optional formatter that provides extra information that can be used by reporters in determining how to present this event to the user
rerunner - an optional Rerunner that can be used to rerun the test that is starting (if None is passed, the test cannot be rerun)
payload - an optional object that can be used to pass custom information to the reporter about the TestStarting event
threadName - a name for the Thread about whose activity this event was reported
timeStamp - a Long indicating the time this event was reported, expressed in terms of the number of milliseconds since the standard base time known as "the epoch": January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 GMT

Method Details
override def hashCode : Int
Returns a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent. Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

Returns
the hash code value for the object.


override def toString : java.lang.String
Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

Returns
a string representation of the object.


override def equals(arg0 : Any) : Boolean
This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

  • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

Parameters
arg0 - the object to compare against this object for equality.
Returns
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
