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

.
Evaluates the passed code block if the passed boolean condition is true, else throws DiscardedEvaluationException
.
The whenever
method can be used inside property check functions to discard invocations of the function with
data for which it is known the property would fail. For example, given the following Fraction
class:
class Fraction(n: Int, d: Int) {require(d != 0) require(d != Integer.MIN_VALUE) require(n != Integer.MIN_VALUE)
val numer = if (d < 0) -1 * n else n val denom = d.abs
override def toString = numer + " / " + denom }
import org.scalatest.prop.TableDrivenPropertyChecks._val fractions = Table( ("n", "d"), ( 1, 2), ( -1, 2), ( 1, -2), ( -1, -2), ( 3, 1), ( -3, 1), ( -3, 0), ( 3, -1), ( 3, Integer.MIN_VALUE), (Integer.MIN_VALUE, 3), ( -3, -1) )
Imagine you wanted to check a property against this class with data that includes some
value that are rejected by the constructor, such as a denominator of zero, which should
result in an IllegalArgumentException
. You could use whenever
to discard any rows in the fraction
that represent illegal arguments, like this:
import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers._forAll (fractions) { (n: Int, d: Int) =>
whenever (d != 0 && d != Integer.MIN_VALUE && n != Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
val f = new Fraction(n, d)
if (n < 0 && d < 0 || n > 0 && d > 0) f.numer should be > 0 else if (n != 0) f.numer should be < 0 else f.numer should be === 0
f.denom should be > 0 } }
In this example, rows 6, 8, and 9 have values that would cause a false to be passed
to whenever
. (For example, in row 6, d
is 0, which means d
!=
0
will be false.) For those rows, whenever
will throw DiscardedEvaluationException
,
which will cause the forAll
method to discard that row.

will evaluate the
fun
function (condition
is true) or throws DiscardedEvaluationException
(condition
is false)

is true
Trait containing methods that faciliate property checks against tables of data.
This trait contains one
forAll
method for eachTableForN
class,TableFor1
throughTableFor22
, which allow properties to be checked against the rows of a table. It also contains awherever
method that can be used to indicate a property need only hold whenever some condition is true.For an example of trait
TableDrivenPropertyChecks
in action, imagine you want to test thisFraction
class:TableDrivenPropertyChecks
allows you to create tables with between 1 and 22 columns and any number of rows. You create a table by passing tuples to one of the factory methods of objectTable
. Each tuple must have the same arity (number of members). The first tuple you pass must all be strings, because it define names for the columns. Subsequent tuples define the data. After the initial tuple that contains string column names, all tuples must have the same type. For example, if the first tuple after the column names contains twoInt
s, all subsequent tuples must contain twoInt
(i.e., have typeTuple2[Int, Int]
).To test the behavior of
Fraction
, you could create a table of numerators and denominators to pass to the constructor of theFraction
class using one of theapply
factory methods declared inTable
, like this:You could then check a property against each row of the table using a
forAll
method, like this:Trait
TableDrivenPropertyChecks
provides 22 overloadedforAll
methods that allow you to check properties using the data provided by a table. EachforAll
method takes two parameter lists. The first parameter list is a table. The second parameter list is a function whose argument types and number matches that of the tuples in the table. For example, if the tuples in the table supplied toforAll
each contain anInt
, aString
, and aList[Char]
, then the function supplied toforAll
must take 3 parameters, anInt
, aString
, and aList[Char]
. TheforAll
method will pass each row of data to the function, and generate aTableDrivenPropertyCheckFailedException
if the function completes abruptly for any row of data with any exception that would normally cause a test to fail in ScalaTest other thanUnmetConditionException
. AnUnmetConditionException
, which is thrown by thewhenever
method (also defined in this trait) to indicate a condition required by the property function is not met by a row of passed data, will simply causeforAll
to skip that row of data.Testing stateful functions
One way to use a table with one column is to test subsequent return values of a stateful function. Imagine, for example, you had an object named
FiboGen
whosenext
method returned the next fibonacci number, where next means the next number in the series following the number previously returned bynext
. So the first timenext
was called, it would return 0. The next time it was called it would return 1. Then 1. Then 2. Then 3, and so on.FiboGen
would need to maintain state, because it has to remember where it is in the series. In such a situation, you could create aTableFor1
(a table with one column, which you could alternatively think of as one row), in which each row represents the next value you expect.Then in your
forAll
simply call the function and compare it with the expected return value, like this:Testing mutable objects
If you need to test a mutable object, one way you can use tables is to specify state transitions in a table. For example, imagine you wanted to test this mutable
Counter
class:A
Counter
keeps track of how many times itsclick
method is called. The count starts out at zero and increments with eachclick
invocation. You can also set the count to a specific value by callingenter
and passing the value in. And thereset
method returns the count back to zero. You could define the actions that initiate state transitions with case classes, like this:Given these actions, you could define a state-transition table like this:
To use this in a test, simply do a pattern match inside the function you pass to
forAll
. Make a pattern for each action, and have the body perform that action when there's a match. Then check that the actual value equals the expected value:Testing invalid argument combinations
A table-driven property check can also be helpful to ensure that the proper exception is thrown when invalid data is passed to a method or constructor. For example, the
Fraction
constructor shown above should throwIllegalArgumentException
ifInteger.MIN_VALUE
is passed for either the numerator or denominator, or zero is passed for the denominator. This yields the following five combinations of invalid data:n
d
Integer.MIN_VALUE
Integer.MIN_VALUE
Integer.MIN_VALUE
Integer.MIN_VALUE
Integer.MIN_VALUE
You can express these combinations in a table:
Given this table, you could check that all invalid combinations produce
IllegalArgumentException
, like this:
