Assert that a boolean condition, described in String message, is true. If the condition is true, this method returns normally. Else, it throws TestFailedException with the String obtained by invoking toString on the specified clue as the exception's detail message.

Assert that a boolean condition is true. If the condition is true, this method returns normally. Else, it throws TestFailedException.

This method is implemented in terms of a Scala macro that will generate a more helpful error message for simple quality checks of this form:

• assert(a == b)
• assert(a != b)
• assert(a === b)
• assert(a !== b)

Any other form of expression will just get a plain-old TestFailedException at this time. In the future, we will enhance this macro to give helpful error messages in more situations. In ScalaTest 2.0, however, this behavior was sufficient to allow the === that returns Boolean, not Option[String] to be the default in tests. This makes === consistent between tests and production code. If you have pre-existing code you wrote under ScalaTest 1.x, in which you are expecting=== to return an Option[String], use can get that behavior back by mixing in trait LegacyTripleEquals.

Assert that the value passed as expected equals the value passed as actual. If the actual value equals the expected value (as determined by ==), assertResult returns normally. Else, assertResult throws a TestFailedException whose detail message includes the expected and actual values.

Assert that the value passed as expected equals the value passed as actual. If the actual equals the expected (as determined by ==), assertResult returns normally. Else, if actual is not equal to expected, assertResult throws a TestFailedException whose detail message includes the expected and actual values, as well as the String obtained by invoking toString on the passed clue.

Executes this Suite, printing results to the standard output.

This method, which simply invokes the other overloaded form of execute with default parameter values, is intended for use only as a mini-DSL for the Scala interpreter. It allows you to execute a Suite in the interpreter with a minimum of finger typing:

scala> new SetSpec execute
An empty Set
- should have size 0
- should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked !!! IGNORED !!!

If you do ever want to invoke execute outside the Scala interpreter, it is best style to invoke it with empty parens to indicate it has a side effect, like this:

// Use empty parens form in regular code (outside the Scala interpreter)
(new ExampleSuite).execute()

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

(The above syntax actually invokes the overloaded parameterless form of execute, which calls this form with its default parameter values.) 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.

Returns the number of tests expected to be run by JUnit when run is invoked on this JUnitSuite.

If tagsToInclude in the passed Filter is defined, this class's implementation of this method returns 0. Else this class's implementation of this method returns the size of the set returned by testNames on the current instance, less the number of tests that were annotated with org.junit.Ignore.

Throws TestFailedException to indicate a test failed.

Intercept and return an exception that's expected to be thrown by the passed function value. The thrown exception must be an instance of the type specified by the type parameter of this method. This method invokes the passed function. If the function throws an exception that's an instance of the specified type, this method returns that exception. Else, whether the passed function returns normally or completes abruptly with a different exception, this method throws TestFailedException.

Note that the type specified as this method's type parameter may represent any subtype of AnyRef, not just Throwable or one of its subclasses. In Scala, exceptions can be caught based on traits they implement, so it may at times make sense to specify a trait that the intercepted exception's class must mix in. If a class instance is passed for a type that could not possibly be used to catch an exception (such as String, for example), this method will complete abruptly with a TestFailedException.

Provides a Constraint[A, B] class for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that A is implicitly convertible to B, given an implicit Equivalence[B].

An immutable IndexedSeq of this Suite object's nested Suites. If this Suite contains no nested Suites, this method returns an empty IndexedSeq. This trait's implementation of this method returns an empty List.

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.

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.

The fully qualified class name of the rerunner to rerun this suite. This implementation will look at this.getClass and see if it is either an accessible Suite, or it has a WrapWith annotation. If so, it returns the fully qualified class name wrapped in a Some, or else it returns None.

Overrides to use JUnit 4 to run the test(s).

This overloaded form of run has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of ScalaTest. Please use the run method that takes two parameters instead.

This final implementation of this method constructs a Args instance from the passed reporter, stopper, filter, configMap, distributor, and tracker, and invokes the overloaded run method that takes two parameters, passing in the specified testName and the newly constructed Args. This method implementation enables existing code that called into the old run method to continue to work during the deprecation cycle. Subclasses and subtraits that overrode this method, however, will need to be changed to use the new two-parameter form instead.

Throws UnsupportedOperationException, because this method is unused by this trait, given this trait's run method delegates to JUnit to run its tests.

The main purpose of this method implementation is to render a compiler error an attempt to mix in a trait that overrides runNestedSuites. Because this trait does not actually use runNestedSuites, the attempt to mix in behavior would very likely not work.

Suite style name.

A string ID for this Suite that is intended to be unique among all suites reported during a run.

This trait's implementation of this method returns the fully qualified name of this object's class. Each suite reported during a run will commonly be an instance of a different Suite class, and in such cases, this default implementation of this method will suffice. However, in special cases you may need to override this method to ensure it is unique for each reported suite. For example, if you write a Suite subclass that reads in a file whose name is passed to its constructor and dynamically creates a suite of tests based on the information in that file, you will likely need to override this method in your Suite subclass, perhaps by appending the pathname of the file to the fully qualified class name. That way if you run a suite of tests based on a directory full of these files, you'll have unique suite IDs for each reported suite.

The suite ID is intended to be unique, because ScalaTest does not enforce that it is unique. If it is not unique, then you may not be able to uniquely identify a particular test of a particular suite. This ability is used, for example, to dynamically tag tests as having failed in the previous run when rerunning only failed tests.

A user-friendly suite name for this Suite.

This trait's implementation of this method returns the simple name of this object's class. This trait's implementation of runNestedSuites calls this method to obtain a name for Reports to pass to the suiteStarting, suiteCompleted, and suiteAborted methods of the Reporter.

Overrides to return just tests that have org.junit.Ignore on them, but calls it org.scalatest.Ignore. It also auto-tags suite level annotation.

Overrides to retrieve suite and test tags from annotations.

Returns the set of test names that will be executed by JUnit when run is invoked on an instance of this class, or the instance is passed directly to JUnit for running.

The iterator obtained by invoking elements on this returned Set will produce the test names in their natural order, as determined by String's compareTo method. Nevertheless, this method is not consulted by JUnit when it runs the tests, and JUnit may run the tests in any order.

Trap and return any thrown exception that would normally cause a ScalaTest test to fail, or create and return a new RuntimeException indicating no exception is thrown.

This method is intended to be used in the Scala interpreter to eliminate large stack traces when trying out ScalaTest assertions and matcher expressions. It is not intended to be used in regular test code. If you want to ensure that a bit of code throws an expected exception, use intercept, not trap. Here's an example interpreter session without trap:

That's a pretty tall stack trace. Here's what it looks like when you use trap:

scala> trap { x shouldEqual 13 }
res1: Throwable = org.scalatest.exceptions.TestFailedException: 12 did not equal 13

Much less clutter. Bear in mind, however, that if no exception is thrown by the passed block of code, the trap method will create a new NormalResult (a subclass of Throwable made for this purpose only) and return that. If the result was the Unit value, it will simply say that no exception was thrown:

scala> trap { x shouldEqual 12 }
res2: Throwable = No exception was thrown.

If the passed block of code results in a value other than Unit, the NormalResult's toString will print the value:

scala> trap { "Dude!" }
res3: Throwable = No exception was thrown. Instead, result was: "Dude!"

Although you can access the result value from the NormalResult, its type is Any and therefore not very convenient to use. It is not intended that trap be used in test code. The sole intended use case for trap is decluttering Scala interpreter sessions by eliminating stack traces when executing assertion and matcher expressions.

Provides a Constraint[A, B] for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that B must be a subtype of A, given an implicit Equivalence[A].

The returned Constraint's areEqual method uses the implicitly passed Equivalence[A]'s areEquivalent method to determine equality.

This method is overridden and made implicit by subtraits TypeCheckedTripleEquals) and TypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals, and overriden as non-implicit by the other subtraits in this package.

Provides a Constraint[A, B] class for any two types A and B, with no type constraint enforced, given an implicit Equality[A].

The returned Constraint's areEqual method uses the implicitly passed Equality[A]'s areEqual method to determine equality.

This method is overridden and made implicit by subtraits TripleEquals and LegacyTripleEquals, and overriden as non-implicit by the other subtraits in this package.

Executes the block of code passed as the second parameter, and, if it completes abruptly with a ModifiableMessage exception, prepends the "clue" string passed as the first parameter to the beginning of the detail message of that thrown exception, then rethrows it. If clue does not end in a white space character, one space will be added between it and the existing detail message (unless the detail message is not defined).

This method allows you to add more information about what went wrong that will be reported when a test fails. Here's an example:

withClue("(Employee's name was: " + employee.name + ")") {
  intercept[IllegalArgumentException] {
    employee.getTask(-1)
  }
}

If an invocation of intercept completed abruptly with an exception, the resulting message would be something like:

(Employee's name was Bob Jones) Expected IllegalArgumentException to be thrown, but no exception was thrown

Throws UnsupportedOperationException, because this method is unused by this class, given this class's run method delegates to JUnit to run its tests.

The main purpose of this method implementation is to render a compiler error an attempt to mix in a trait that overrides withFixture. Because this trait does not actually use withFixture, the attempt to mix in behavior would very likely not work.

Assert that an Option[String] is None. If the condition is None, this method returns normally. Else, it throws TestFailedException with the String value of the Some included in the TestFailedException's detail message.

This form of assert is usually called in conjunction with an implicit conversion to Equalizer, using a === comparison, as in:

assert(a === b)

For more information on how this mechanism works, see the documentation for Equalizer.

Assert that an Option[String] is None. If the condition is None, this method returns normally. Else, it throws TestFailedException with the String value of the Some, as well as the String obtained by invoking toString on the specified clue, included in the TestFailedException's detail message.

This form of assert is usually called in conjunction with an implicit conversion to Equalizer, using a === comparison, as in:

assert(a === b, "extra info reported if assertion fails")

This form of assume is usually called in conjunction with an implicit conversion to Equalizer, using a === comparison, as in:

assume(a === b)
