org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec

A sister trait to org.scalatest.FreeSpec that isolates tests by running each test in its own instance of the test class, and for each test, only executing the path leading to that test.

Trait path.FreeSpec behaves similarly to trait org.scalatest.FreeSpec, except that tests are isolated based on their path. The purpose of path.FreeSpec is to facilitate writing specification-style tests for mutable objects in a clear, boilerpate-free way. To test mutable objects, you need to mutate them. Using a path trait, you can make a statement in text, then implement that statement in code (including mutating state), and nest and combine these test/code pairs in any way you wish. Each test will only see the side effects of code that is in blocks that enclose the test. Here's an example:

import org.scalatest.path
import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers
import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class ExampleSpec extends path.FreeSpec with ShouldMatchers {

  "A ListBuffer" - {

    val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int] // This implements "A ListBuffer"

    "should be empty when created" in {

      // This test sees:
      //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
      // So buf is: ListBuffer()

      buf should be ('empty)
    }

    "when 1 is appended" - {

      buf += 1 // This implements "when 1 is appended", etc...

      "should contain 1" in {

        // This test sees:
        //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
        //   buf += 1
        // So buf is: ListBuffer(1)

        buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
        buf should be ('empty)
      }

      "when 2 is appended" - {

        buf += 2

        "should contain 1 and 2" in {

          // This test sees:
          //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
          //   buf += 1
          //   buf += 2
          // So buf is: ListBuffer(1, 2)

          buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (2)
          buf should be ('empty)
        }

        "when 2 is removed" - {

          buf -= 2

          "should contain only 1 again" in {

            // This test sees:
            //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
            //   buf += 1
            //   buf += 2
            //   buf -= 2
            // So buf is: ListBuffer(1)

            buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
            buf should be ('empty)
          }
        }

        "when 3 is appended" - {

          buf += 3

          "should contain 1, 2, and 3" in {

            // This test sees:
            //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
            //   buf += 1
            //   buf += 2
            //   buf += 3
            // So buf is: ListBuffer(1, 2, 3)

            buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (2)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (3)
            buf should be ('empty)
          }
        }
      }

      "when 88 is appended" - {

        buf += 88

        "should contain 1 and 88" in {

          // This test sees:
          //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
          //   buf += 1
          //   buf += 88
          // So buf is: ListBuffer(1, 88)

          buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (88)
          buf should be ('empty)
        }
      }
    }

    "should have size 0 when created" in {

      // This test sees:
      //   val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]
      // So buf is: ListBuffer()

      buf should have size 0
    }
  }
}

Note that the above class is organized by writing a bit of specification text that opens a new block followed by, at the top of the new block, some code that "implements" or "performs" what is described in the text. This is repeated as the mutable object (here, a ListBuffer), is prepared for the enclosed tests. For example:

"A ListBuffer" - {
  val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]

Or:

"when 2 is appended" - {
  buf += 2

Note also that although each test mutates the ListBuffer, none of the other tests observe those side effects:

"should contain 1" in {

  buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
  // ...
}

"when 2 is appended" - {

  buf += 2

  "should contain 1 and 2" in {

    // This test does not see the buf.remove(0) from the previous test,
    // so the first element in the ListBuffer is again 1
    buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
    buf.remove(0) should equal (2)

This kind of isolation of tests from each other is a consequence of running each test in its own instance of the test class, and can also be achieved by simply mixing OneInstancePerTest into a regular org.scalatest.FreeSpec. However, path.FreeSpec takes isolation one step further: a test in a path.FreeSpec does not observe side effects performed outside tests in earlier blocks that do not enclose it. Here's an example:

"when 2 is removed" - {

  buf -= 2

  // ...
}

"when 3 is appended" - {

  buf += 3

  "should contain 1, 2, and 3" in {

    // This test does not see the buf -= 2 from the earlier "when 2 is removed" block,
    // because that block does not enclose this test, so the second element in the
    // ListBuffer is still 2
    buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
    buf.remove(0) should equal (2)
    buf.remove(0) should equal (3)

Running the full ExampleSpec, shown above, in the Scala interpeter would give you:

scala> import org.scalatest._
import org.scalatest._
scala> run(new ExampleSpec)
ExampleSpec:
A ListBuffer
- should be empty when created
  when 1 is appended
  - should contain 1
    when 2 is appended
    - should contain 1 and 2
      when 2 is removed
      - should contain only 1 again
      when 3 is appended
      - should contain 1, 2, and 3
    when 88 is appended
    - should contain 1 and 88
- should have size 0 when created

Note: trait path.FreeSpec's approach to isolation was inspired in part by the specsy framework, written by Esko Luontola.

Shared fixtures

A test fixture is objects or other artifacts (such as files, sockets, database connections, etc.) used by tests to do their work. If a fixture is used by only one test, then the definitions of the fixture objects can be local to the method. If multiple tests need to share an immutable fixture, you can simply assign them to instance variables. If multiple tests need to share mutable fixture objects or vars, there's one and only one way to do it in a path.FreeSpec: place the mutable objects lexically before the test. Any mutations needed by the test must be placed lexically before and/or after the test. As used here, "Lexically before" means that the code needs to be executed during construction of that test's instance of the test class to reach the test (or put another way, the code is along the "path to the test.") "Lexically after" means that the code needs to be executed to exit the constructor after the test has been executed.

The reason lexical placement is the one and only one way to share fixtures in a path.FreeSpec is because all of its lifecycle methods are overridden and declared final. Thus you can't override withFixture, because it is final, or mix in BeforeAndAfter or BeforeAndAfterEach, because both override runTest, which is final in a path.FreeSpec. In short:

In a `path.FreeSpec`, if you need some code to execute before a test, place that code lexically before the test. If you need some code to execute after a test, place that code lexically after the test.

The reason the life cycle methods are final, by the way, is to prevent users from attempting to combine a path.FreeSpec's approach to isolation with other ways ScalaTest provides to share fixtures or execute tests, because doing so could make the resulting test code hard to reason about. A path.FreeSpec's execution model is a bit magical, but because it executes in one and only one way, users should be able to reason about the code. To help you visualize how a path.FreeSpec is executed, consider the following variant of ExampleSpec that includes print statements:

import org.scalatest.path
import org.scalatest.matchers.ShouldMatchers
import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class ExampleSpec extends path.FreeSpec with ShouldMatchers {

  println("Start of: ExampleSpec")
  "A ListBuffer" - {

    println("Start of: A ListBuffer")
    val buf = ListBuffer.empty[Int]

    "should be empty when created" in {

      println("In test: should be empty when created; buf is: " + buf)
      buf should be ('empty)
    }

    "when 1 is appended" - {

      println("Start of: when 1 is appended")
      buf += 1

      "should contain 1" in {

        println("In test: should contain 1; buf is: " + buf)
        buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
        buf should be ('empty)
      }

      "when 2 is appended" - {

        println("Start of: when 2 is appended")
        buf += 2

        "should contain 1 and 2" in {

          println("In test: should contain 1 and 2; buf is: " + buf)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (2)
          buf should be ('empty)
        }

        "when 2 is removed" - {

          println("Start of: when 2 is removed")
          buf -= 2

          "should contain only 1 again" in {

            println("In test: should contain only 1 again; buf is: " + buf)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
            buf should be ('empty)
          }

          println("End of: when 2 is removed")
        }

        "when 3 is appended" - {

          println("Start of: when 3 is appended")
          buf += 3

          "should contain 1, 2, and 3" in {

            println("In test: should contain 1, 2, and 3; buf is: " + buf)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (2)
            buf.remove(0) should equal (3)
            buf should be ('empty)
          }
          println("End of: when 3 is appended")
        }

        println("End of: when 2 is appended")
      }

      "when 88 is appended" - {

        println("Start of: when 88 is appended")
        buf += 88

        "should contain 1 and 88" in {

          println("In test: should contain 1 and 88; buf is: " + buf)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (1)
          buf.remove(0) should equal (88)
          buf should be ('empty)
        }

        println("End of: when 88 is appended")
      }

      println("End of: when 1 is appended")
    }

    "should have size 0 when created" in {

      println("In test: should have size 0 when created; buf is: " + buf)
      buf should have size 0
    }

    println("End of: A ListBuffer")
  }
  println("End of: ExampleSpec")
  println()
}

Running the above version of ExampleSpec in the Scala interpreter will give you output similar to:

scala> import org.scalatest._ import org.scalatest._

scala> run(new ExampleSpec) ExampleSpec: Start of: ExampleSpec Start of: A ListBuffer In test: should be empty when created; buf is: ListBuffer() End of: A ListBuffer End of: ExampleSpec

Start of: ExampleSpec Start of: A ListBuffer Start of: when 1 is appended In test: should contain 1; buf is: ListBuffer(1) ExampleSpec: End of: when 1 is appended End of: A ListBuffer End of: ExampleSpec

Start of: ExampleSpec Start of: A ListBuffer Start of: when 1 is appended Start of: when 2 is appended In test: should contain 1 and 2; buf is: ListBuffer(1, 2) End of: when 2 is appended End of: when 1 is appended End of: A ListBuffer End of: ExampleSpec

Start of: ExampleSpec Start of: A ListBuffer Start of: when 1 is appended Start of: when 2 is appended Start of: when 3 is appended In test: should contain 1, 2, and 3; buf is: ListBuffer(1, 2, 3) End of: when 3 is appended End of: when 2 is appended End of: when 1 is appended End of: A ListBuffer End of: ExampleSpec

Start of: ExampleSpec Start of: A ListBuffer In test: should have size 0 when created; buf is: ListBuffer() End of: A ListBuffer End of: ExampleSpec

A ListBuffer - should be empty when created when 1 is appended - should contain 1 when 2 is appended - should contain 1 and 2 when 2 is removed - should contain only 1 again when 3 is appended - should contain 1, 2, and 3 when 88 is appended - should contain 1 and 88 - should have size 0 when created

Note that each test is executed in order of appearance in the path.FreeSpec, and that only those println statements residing in blocks that enclose the test being run are executed. Any println statements in blocks that do not form the "path" to a test are not executed in the instance of the class that executes that test.

How it executes

To provide its special brand of test isolation, path.FreeSpec executes quite differently from its sister trait in org.scalatest. An org.scalatest.FreeSpec registers tests during construction and executes them when run is invoked. An org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec, by contrast, runs each test in its own instance while that instance is being constructed. During construction, it registers not the tests to run, but the results of running those tests. When run is invoked on a path.FreeSpec, it reports the registered results and does not run the tests again. If run is invoked a second or third time, in fact, a path.FreeSpec will each time report the same results registered during construction. If you want to run the tests of a path.FreeSpec anew, you'll need to create a new instance and invoke run on that.

A path.FreeSpec will create one instance for each "leaf" node it contains. The main kind of leaf node is a test, such as:

// One instance will be created for each test
"should be empty when created" in {
  buf should be ('empty)
}

However, an empty scope (a scope that contains no tests or nested scopes) is also a leaf node:

// One instance will be created for each empty scope
"when 99 is added" - {
  // A scope is "empty" and therefore a leaf node if it has no
  // tests or nested scopes, though it may have other code (which
  // will be executed in the instance created for that leaf node)
  buf += 99
}

The tests will be executed sequentially, in the order of appearance. The first test (or empty scope, if that is first) will be executed when a class that mixes in path.FreeSpec is instantiated. Only the first test will be executed during this initial instance, and of course, only the path to that test. Then, the first time the client uses the initial instance (by invoking one of run, expectedTestsCount, tags, or testNames on the instance), the initial instance will, before doing anything else, ensure that any remaining tests are executed, each in its own instance.

To ensure that the correct path is taken in each instance, and to register its test results, the initial path.FreeSpec instance must communicate with the other instances it creates for running any subsequent leaf nodes. It does so by setting a thread-local variable prior to creating each instance (a technique suggested by Esko Luontola). Each instance of path.FreeSpec checks the thread-local variable. If the thread-local is not set, it knows it is an initial instance and therefore executes every block it encounters until it discovers, and executes the first test (or empty scope, if that's the first leaf node). It then discovers, but does not execute the next leaf node, or discovers there are no other leaf nodes remaining to execute. It communicates the path to the next leaf node, if any, and the result of running the test it did execute, if any, back to the initial instance. The initial instance repeats this process until all leaf nodes have been executed and all test results registered.

Ignored tests

You mark a test as ignored in an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec in the same manner as in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. Please see the Ignored tests section in its documentation for more information.

Note that a separate instance will be created for an ignored test, and the path to the ignored test will be executed in that instance, but the test function itself will not be executed. Instead, a TestIgnored event will be fired.

Informers

You output information using Informers in an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec in the same manner as in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. Please see the Informers section in its documentation for more information.

Pending tests

You mark a test as pending in an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec in the same manner as in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. Please see the Pending tests section in its documentation for more information.

Note that a separate instance will be created for a pending test, and the path to the ignored test will be executed in that instance, as well as the test function (up until it completes abruptly with a TestPendingException).

Tagging tests

You can place tests into groups by tagging them in an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec in the same manner as in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. Please see the Tagging tests section in its documentation for more information.

Note that one difference between this trait and its sister trait org.scalatest.FreeSpec is that because tests are executed at construction time, rather than each time run is invoked, an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec will always execute all non-ignored tests. When run is invoked on a path.FreeSpec, if some tests are excluded based on tags, the registered results of running those tests will not be reported. (But those tests will have already run and the results registered.) By contrast, because an org.scalatest.FreeSpec only executes tests after run has been called, and at that time the tags to include and exclude are known, only tests selected by the tags will be executed.

In short, in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec, tests not selected by the tags to include and exclude specified for the run (via the Filter passed to run) will not be executed. In an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec, by contrast, all non-ignored tests will be executed, each during the construction of its own instance, and tests not selected by the tags to include and exclude specified for a run will not be reported. (One upshot of this is that if you have tests that you want to tag as being slow so you can sometimes exclude them during a run, you probably don't want to put them in a path.FreeSpec. Because in a path.Freespec the slow tests will be run regardless, with only their registered results not being reported if you exclude slow tests during a run.)

Shared tests

You can factor out shared tests in an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec in the same manner as in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. Please see the Shared tests section in its documentation for more information.

Nested suites

Nested suites are not allowed in a path.FreeSpec. Because a path.FreeSpec executes tests eagerly at construction time, registering the results of those test runs and reporting them later when run is invoked, the order of nested suites versus test runs would be different in a org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec than in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. In org.scalatest.FreeSpec's implementation of run, nested suites are executed then tests are executed. A org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec with nested suites would execute these in the opposite order: first tests then nested suites. To help make path.FreeSpec code easier to reason about by giving readers of one less difference to think about, nested suites are not allowed. If you want to add nested suites to a path.FreeSpec, you can instead wrap them all in a Suites or Specs object. They will be executed in the order of appearance (unless a Distributor is passed, in which case they will execute in parallel).

Durations

Many ScalaTest events include a duration that indicates how long the event being reported took to execute. For example, a TestSucceeded event provides a duration indicating how long it took for that test to execute. A SuiteCompleted event provides a duration indicating how long it took for that entire suite of tests to execute.

In the test completion events fired by a path.FreeSpec (TestSucceeded, TestFailed, or TestPending), the durations reported refer to the time it took for the tests to run. This time is registered with the test results and reported along with the test results each time run is invoked. By contrast, the suite completion events fired for a path.FreeSpec represent the amount of time it took to report the registered results. (These events are not fired by path.FreeSpec, but instead by the entity that invokes run on the path.FreeSpec.) As a result, the total time for running the tests of a path.FreeSpec, calculated by summing the durations of all the individual test completion events, may be greater than the duration reported for executing the entire suite.

Implicit conversion from Any to Equalizer, used to enable assertions with === comparisons.
For more information on this mechanism, see the documentation for Equalizer.
Because trait Suite mixes in Assertions, this implicit conversion will always be available by default in ScalaTest Suites. This is the only implicit conversion that is in scope by default in every ScalaTest Suite. Other implicit conversions offered by ScalaTest, such as those that support the matchers DSL or invokePrivate, must be explicitly invited into your test code, either by mixing in a trait or importing the members of its companion object. The reason ScalaTest requires you to invite in implicit conversions (with the exception of the implicit conversion for === operator) is because if one of ScalaTest's implicit conversions clashes with an implicit conversion used in the code you are trying to test, your program won't compile. Thus there is a chance that if you are ever trying to use a library or test some code that also offers an implicit conversion involving a === operator, you could run into the problem of a compiler error due to an ambiguous implicit conversion. If that happens, you can turn off the implicit conversion offered by this convertToEqualizer method simply by overriding the method in your Suite subclass, but not marking it as implicit:

// In your Suite subclass

def execute (testName: String = null, configMap: Map[String, Any] = Map(), color: Boolean = true, durations: Boolean = false, shortstacks: Boolean = false, fullstacks: Boolean = false, stats: Boolean = false): Unit

Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
This method invokes run on itself, passing in values that can be configured via the parameters to this method, all of which have default values. This behavior is convenient when working with ScalaTest in the Scala interpreter. Here's a summary of this method's parameters and how you can use them:
The testName parameter
If you leave testName at its default value (of null), this method will pass None to the testName parameter of run, and as a result all the tests in this suite will be executed. If you specify a testName, this method will pass Some(testName) to run, and only that test will be run. Thus to run all tests in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you can write:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute()
```
To run just the test named "my favorite test" in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you would write:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute("my favorite test")
```
Or:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(testName = "my favorite test")
```
The configMap parameter
If you provide a value for the configMap parameter, this method will pass it to run. If not, the default value of an empty Map will be passed. For more information on how to use a config map to configure your test suites, see the config map section in the main documentation for this trait. Here's an example in which you configure a run with the name of an input file:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(configMap = Map("inputFileName" -> "in.txt")
```
The color parameter
If you leave the color parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to print to the standard output in color (via ansi escape characters). If you don't want color output, specify false for color, like this:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(color = false)
```
The durations parameter
If you leave the durations parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to not print durations for tests and suites to the standard output. If you want durations printed, specify true for durations, like this:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(durations = true)
```
The shortstacks and fullstacks parameters
If you leave both the shortstacks and fullstacks parameters unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to not print stack traces for failed tests if it has a stack depth that identifies the offending line of test code. If you prefer a short stack trace (10 to 15 stack frames) to be printed with any test failure, specify true for shortstacks:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(shortstacks = true)
```
For full stack traces, set fullstacks to true:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(fullstacks = true)
```
If you specify true for both shortstacks and fullstacks, you'll get full stack traces.
The stats parameter
If you leave the stats parameter unspecified, this method will not fire RunStarting and either RunCompleted or RunAborted events to the reporter it passes to run. If you specify true for stats, this method will fire the run events to the reporter, and the reporter will print the expected test count before the run, and various statistics after, including the number of suites completed and number of tests that succeeded, failed, were ignored or marked pending. Here's how you get the stats:
```
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(stats = true)
```
To summarize, this method will pass to run:
- testName - None if this method's testName parameter is left at its default value of null, else Some(testName).
- reporter - a reporter that prints to the standard output
- stopper - a Stopper whose apply method always returns false
- filter - a Filter constructed with None for tagsToInclude and Set() for tagsToExclude
- configMap - the configMap passed to this method
- distributor - None
- tracker - a new Tracker
Note: In ScalaTest, the terms "execute" and "run" basically mean the same thing and can be used interchangably. The reason this method isn't named run is that it takes advantage of default arguments, and you can't mix overloaded methods and default arguments in Scala. (If named run, this method would have the same name but different arguments than the main run method that takes seven arguments. Thus it would overload and couldn't be used with default argument values.)
Design note: This method has two "features" that may seem unidiomatic. First, the default value of testName is null. Normally in Scala the type of testName would be Option[String] and the default value would be None, as it is in this trait's run method. The null value is used here for two reasons. First, in ScalaTest 1.5, execute was changed from four overloaded methods to one method with default values, taking advantage of the default and named parameters feature introduced in Scala 2.8. To not break existing source code, testName needed to have type String, as it did in two of the overloaded execute methods prior to 1.5. The other reason is that execute has always been designed to be called primarily from an interpeter environment, such as the Scala REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop). In an interpreter environment, minimizing keystrokes is king. A String type with a null default value lets users type suite.execute("my test name") rather than suite.execute(Some("my test name")), saving several keystrokes.
The second non-idiomatic feature is that shortstacks and fullstacks are all lower case rather than camel case. This is done to be consistent with the Shell, which also uses those forms. The reason lower case is used in the Shell is to save keystrokes in an interpreter environment. Most Unix commands, for example, are all lower case, making them easier and quicker to type. In the ScalaTest Shell, methods like shortstacks, fullstacks, and nostats, etc., are designed to be all lower case so they feel more like shell commands than methods.

def nestedSuites : List[Suite]

Returns an empty list.
Returns an empty list.
This lifecycle method is unused by this trait. If invoked, it will return an empty list, because nested suites are not allowed in a path.FreeSpec. Because a path.FreeSpec executes tests eagerly at construction time, registering the results of those test runs and reporting them later, the order of nested suites versus test runs would be different in a org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec than in an org.scalatest.FreeSpec. In an org.scalatest.FreeSpec, nested suites are executed then tests are executed. In an org.scalatest.path.FreeSpec it would be the opposite. To make the code easy to reason about, therefore, this is just not allowed. If you want to add nested suites to a path.FreeSpec, you can instead wrap them all in a Suites or Specs object and put them in whatever order you wish.

def newInstance : FreeSpec

Construct a new instance of this Suite.
Construct a new instance of this Suite.
This trait's implementation of runTests invokes this method to create a new instance of this Suite for each test. This trait's implementation of this method uses reflection to call this.getClass.newInstance. This approach will succeed only if this Suite's class has a public, no-arg constructor. In most cases this is likely to be true, because to be instantiated by ScalaTest's Runner a Suite needs a public, no-arg constructor. However, this will not be true of any Suite defined as an inner class of another class or trait, because every constructor of an inner class type takes a reference to the enclosing instance. In such cases, and in cases where a Suite class is explicitly defined without a public, no-arg constructor, you will need to override this method to construct a new instance of the Suite in some other way.
Here's an example of how you could override newInstance to construct a new instance of an inner class:
```
import org.scalatest.Suite

class Outer {
  class InnerSuite extends Suite with OneInstancePerTest {
    def testOne() {}
    def testTwo() {}
    override def newInstance = new InnerSuite
  }
}

def pending : PendingNothing

Throws TestPendingException to indicate a test is pending.
Throws TestPendingException to indicate a test is pending.
A pending test is one that has been given a name but is not yet implemented. The purpose of pending tests is to facilitate a style of testing in which documentation of behavior is sketched out before tests are written to verify that behavior (and often, the before the behavior of the system being tested is itself implemented). Such sketches form a kind of specification of what tests and functionality to implement later.
To support this style of testing, a test can be given a name that specifies one bit of behavior required by the system being tested. The test can also include some code that sends more information about the behavior to the reporter when the tests run. At the end of the test, it can call method pending, which will cause it to complete abruptly with TestPendingException. Because tests in ScalaTest can be designated as pending with TestPendingException, both the test name and any information sent to the reporter when running the test can appear in the report of a test run. (In other words, the code of a pending test is executed just like any other test.) However, because the test completes abruptly with TestPendingException, the test will be reported as pending, to indicate the actual test, and possibly the functionality it is intended to test, has not yet been implemented.
Note: This method always completes abruptly with a TestPendingException. Thus it always has a side effect. Methods with side effects are usually invoked with parentheses, as in pending(). This method is defined as a parameterless method, in flagrant contradiction to recommended Scala style, because it forms a kind of DSL for pending tests. It enables tests in suites such as FunSuite or FunSpec to be denoted by placing "(pending)" after the test name, as in:
```
test("that style rules are not laws") (pending)
```
Readers of the code see "pending" in parentheses, which looks like a little note attached to the test name to indicate it is pending. Whereas "(pending()) looks more like a method call, "(pending)" lets readers stay at a higher level, forgetting how it is implemented and just focusing on the intent of the programmer who wrote the code.

def pendingUntilFixed (f: ⇒ Unit): Unit

Execute the passed block of code, and if it completes abruptly, throw TestPendingException, else throw TestFailedException.
Execute the passed block of code, and if it completes abruptly, throw TestPendingException, else throw TestFailedException.
This method can be used to temporarily change a failing test into a pending test in such a way that it will automatically turn back into a failing test once the problem originally causing the test to fail has been fixed. At that point, you need only remove the pendingUntilFixed call. In other words, a pendingUntilFixed surrounding a block of code that isn't broken is treated as a test failure. The motivation for this behavior is to encourage people to remove pendingUntilFixed calls when there are no longer needed.
This method facilitates a style of testing in which tests are written before the code they test. Sometimes you may encounter a test failure that requires more functionality than you want to tackle without writing more tests. In this case you can mark the bit of test code causing the failure with pendingUntilFixed. You can then write more tests and functionality that eventually will get your production code to a point where the original test won't fail anymore. At this point the code block marked with pendingUntilFixed will no longer throw an exception (because the problem has been fixed). This will in turn cause pendingUntilFixed to throw TestFailedException with a detail message explaining you need to go back and remove the pendingUntilFixed call as the problem orginally causing your test code to fail has been fixed.
