Check to see if a Boolean property on the specified object, objectWithProperty, matches its

the returned BePropertyMatchResult. The objectWithProperty is
usually the value to the left of a should or must invocation. For example, tempFilewould be passed as the objectWithProperty in:

This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expressionList(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as
part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

The eq method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on
non-null instances of AnyRef:
* It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(x) returns true.
* It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, x.eq(y) returns true if and
only if y.eq(x) returns true.
* It is transitive: for any non-null instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.eq(y) returns true and y.eq(z) returns true, then x.eq(z) returns true.
Additionally, the eq method has three other properties.
* It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
* For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
* null.eq(null) returns true.
When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation 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

* 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
scala.Int
(o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

This method is called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to 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.

Trait extended by matcher objects, which may appear after the word
be, that can match against aBooleanproperty. The match will succeed if and only if theBooleanproperty equalstrue. The object containing the property, which must be of the type specified by theBePropertyMatcher's type parameterT, is passed to theBePropertyMatcher'sapplymethod. The result is aBePropertyMatchResult. ABePropertyMatcheris, therefore, a function from the specified type,T, to aBePropertyMatchResult.Although
BePropertyMatcherandMatcherrepresent similar concepts, they have no inheritance relationship becauseMatcheris intended for use right aftershouldormustwhereasBePropertyMatcheris intended for use right afterbe.A
BePropertyMatcheressentially allows you to write statically typedBooleanproperty assertions similar to the dynamic ones that use symbols:tempFile should be a ('file) // dynamic: uses reflection tempFile should be a (file) // type safe: only works on Files; no reflection usedOne good way to organize custom matchers is to place them inside one or more traits that you can then mix into the suites or specs that need them. Here's an example that includes two
BePropertyMatchers:trait CustomMatchers {class FileBePropertyMatcher extends BePropertyMatcher[java.io.File] { def apply(left: java.io.File) = BePropertyMatchResult(left.isFile, "file") }
class DirectoryBePropertyMatcher extends BePropertyMatcher[java.io.File] { def apply(left: java.io.File) = BePropertyMatchResult(left.isDirectory, "directory") }
val file = new FileBePropertyMatcher val directory = new DirectoryBePropertyMatcher }
Because the type parameter of these two
BePropertyMatchers isjava.io.File, they can only be used with instances of that type. (The compiler will enforce this.) All they do is create aBePropertyMatchResultwhosematchesfield istrueif and only if theBooleanproperty istrue. The second field,propertyName, is simply the string name of the property. Thefileanddirectoryvals create variables that can be used in matcher expressions that test whether ajava.io.Fileis a file or a directory. Here's an example:class ExampleSpec extends Spec with ShouldMatchers with CustomMatchers {describe("A temp file") {
it("should be a file, not a directory") {
val tempFile = java.io.File.createTempFile("delete", "me")
try { tempFile should be a (file) tempFile should not be a (directory) } finally { tempFile.delete() } } } }
These matches should succeed, but if for example the first match,
tempFile should be a (file), were to fail, you would get an error message like:For more information on
BePropertyMatchResultand the meaning of its fields, please see the documentation forBePropertyMatchResult. To understand whyBePropertyMatcheris contravariant in its type parameter, see the section entitled "Matcher's variance" in the documentation forMatcher.
