class StringShouldWrapperForVerb

[source: org/scalatest/verb/ShouldVerb.scala]

class StringShouldWrapperForVerb(left : java.lang.String)
extends AnyRef
This class supports the syntax of FlatSpec, WordSpec, FixtureFlatSpec, and FixtureWordSpec.

This class is used in conjunction with an implicit conversion to enable should methods to be invoked on Strings.

Supports shared test registration in FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec.
def should (right : => Unit)(implicit fun : StringVerbBlockRegistration) : Unit
Supports the registration of subject descriptions in WordSpec and FixtureWordSpec.
def should (right : java.lang.String)(implicit fun : (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) => ResultOfStringPassedToVerb) : ResultOfStringPassedToVerb

Method Details
def should(right : java.lang.String)(implicit fun : (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) => ResultOfStringPassedToVerb) : ResultOfStringPassedToVerb
Supports test registration in FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec.

For example, this method enables syntax such as the following in FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec:

     "A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" in { ... }
                            ^
     

FlatSpec passes in a function via the implicit parameter that takes three strings and results in a ResultOfStringPassedToVerb. This method simply invokes this function, passing in left, the verb string "should", and right, and returns the result.


def should(right : BehaveWord)(implicit fun : (java.lang.String) => BehaveWord) : BehaveWord
Supports shared test registration in FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec.

For example, this method enables syntax such as the following in FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec:

     "A Stack (with one item)" should behave like nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed)
                               ^
     

FlatSpec and FixtureFlatSpec passes in a function via the implicit parameter that takes a string and results in a BehaveWord. This method simply invokes this function, passing in left, and returns the result.


def should(right : => Unit)(implicit fun : StringVerbBlockRegistration) : Unit
Supports the registration of subject descriptions in WordSpec and FixtureWordSpec.

For example, this method enables syntax such as the following in WordSpec and FixtureWordSpec:

     "A Stack (when empty)" should { ...
                            ^
     

WordSpec passes in a function via the implicit parameter of type StringVerbBlockRegistration, a function that takes two strings and a no-arg function and results in Unit. This method simply invokes this function, passing in left, the verb string "should", and the right by-name parameter transformed into a no-arg function.


def should(resultOfAfterWordApplication : ResultOfAfterWordApplication)(implicit fun : (java.lang.String, java.lang.String, ResultOfAfterWordApplication) => Unit) : Unit
Supports the registration of subject descriptions with after words in WordSpec and FixtureWordSpec.

For example, this method enables syntax such as the following in WordSpec and FixtureWordSpec:

        def provide = afterWord("provide")
    
       "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" should provide {
                                    ^
     

WordSpec passes in a function via the implicit parameter that takes two strings and a ResultOfAfterWordApplication and results in Unit. This method simply invokes this function, passing in left, the verb string "should", and the ResultOfAfterWordApplication passed to should.
