LegacyEqualizer

class LegacyEqualizer[L] extends AnyRef

Class used via an implicit conversion to enable any two objects to be compared with === and !== with an Option[String] result and no enforced type constraint between two object types. For example:

assert(a === b)
assert(c !== d)

You can also check numeric values against another with a tolerance. Here are some examples:

assert(a === (2.0 +- 0.1))
assert(c !== (2.0 +- 0.1))

The benefit of using assert(a === b) rather than assert(a == b) in ScalaTest code is that a TestFailedException produced by the former will include the values of a and b in its detail message.

Note: This class has "Legacy" in its name because its approach to error messages will eventually be replaced by macros. Once ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, this class will be deprecated in favor of class Equalizer. Instead of obtaining nice error messages via the Option[String] returned by the methods of this class, the error messages will be obtained by a macro. The "legacy" approach to good error messages will continue to be used, however, until ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, since macros were introduced to Scala (in experimental form) in 2.10.

The primary constructor takes one object, left, whose type is being converted to Equalizer. The left value may be a null reference, because this is allowed by Scala's == operator.

    spread

    the Spread against which to compare the value passed to the constructor as left

    returns

    true if the value passed to the constructor as left is not within the Spread passed to this method. else returns an error message string wrapped in a Some.

  4. def !==(right: Any)(implicit equality: Equality[L]): Option[String]

    Compare two objects for inequality, returning an Option[String], using the Equality type class passed as equality.

    right

    the object to compare for inequality with left, passed to the constructor

    equality

    an implicit Equality type class that defines a way of calculating equality for objects of type L

    returns

    None if the left and right objects are not equal according to the passed Equality type class. else returns an error message string wrapped in a Some.
