ConductorMethods

trait ConductorMethods extends AbstractSuite with Conductors

Trait that provides each test with access to a new Conductor via methods.

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

import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import org.scalatest.concurrent.ConductorMethods
import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers
import java.util.concurrent.ArrayBlockingQueue

class ArrayBlockingQueueSuite extends FunSuite with ConductorMethods with ShouldMatchers {
test("calling put on a full queue blocks the producer thread") {
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") {
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.

    A Map whose keys are String tag names with which tests in this Suite are marked, and whose values are the Set of test names marked with each tag. If this Suite contains no tags, this method returns an empty Map.

    Subclasses may implement this method to define and/or discover tags in a custom manner, but overriding method implementations should never return an empty Set as a value. If a tag has no tests, its name should not appear as a key in the returned Map.

  21. def scaled (span: Span): Span

    Scales the passed Span by the Double factor returned by spanScaleFactor.

    Scales the passed Span by the Double factor returned by spanScaleFactor.

    The Span is scaled by invoking its scaledBy method, thus this method has the same behavior: The value returned by spanScaleFactor can be any positive number or zero, including a fractional number. A number greater than one will scale the Span up to a larger value. A fractional number will scale it down to a smaller value. A factor of 1.0 will cause the exact same Span to be returned. A factor of zero will cause Span.ZeroLength to be returned. If overflow occurs, Span.Max will be returned. If underflow occurs, Span.ZeroLength will be returned.

    Creates and initializes a private instance variable with a new Conductor, ensuring it is visible to any thread, invokes the passed test function, and invokes conduct on the Conductor, if it was not already invoked by the test.

    This trait is stackable with other traits that override withFixture(NoArgTest), because instead of invoking the test function directly, it delegates responsibility for invoking the test function to super.withFixture(NoArgTest).

    test
