a default Equality for type A
Trait that defines abstract methods used to enforce compile-time type constraints for equality comparisons, and defines
===and!==operators used by matchers.The abstract methods of this trait are selectively implemented as implicit by subclasses to enable a spectrum of type constraints for the
===and!==operators. As an illustration, if in the expression,a === b, the type ofaisAandbisB, the following three levels of compile-time checking can be obtained fromTripleEqualsSupportsubtraits:Unchecked -
AandBcan be any two types. This (weakest) constraint level is available from subtraitsTripleEqualsandLegacyTripleEquals.Conversion checked -
Amust be a subtype ofB, or vice versa, or an implicit conversion must be available that convertsAtoB, or vice versa. (BothAandBcan be the same type, because a type is considered a subtype of itself.) This (intermediate) constraint level is available from subtraitsConversionCheckedTripleEqualsandConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals.Type checked -
Amust be a subtype ofB, or vice versa. (BothAandBcan be the same type, because a type is considered a subtype of itself.) This (strongest) constraint level is available from subtraitsTypeCheckedTripleEqualsandTypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals.The difference between the regular and “legacy” variants of each pair of traits is that the
===and!==operators provided by the regular variants result inBoolean, whereas those of the legacy variants result inOption[String]. For example, were you to mix inTripleEquals, the expression1 + 1 === 3would returnfalse. Were you to mix inLegacyTripleEquals, by contrast, the expression1 + 1 === 3would returnSome("2 did not equal 3").The purpose of the legacy variants is to maintain compatibility with existing code that uses ScalaTest's original
===defined in traitorg.scalatest.Assertions. This===operator returned anOption[String]to facilitate better error messages. With the advent of macros in Scala 2.10, it is possible to obtain good error messages by makingasserta macro. Once ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, the legacy variants (LegacyTripleEquals,ConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals, andTypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals) will be deprecated and eventually removed,===will return onlyBoolean, and good error messages will be obtained via macros.This trait defines all methods that need to be defined implicitly by the six subtraits so that if multiple subtraits are used together, the inner-most subtrait in scope can not only enable the implicits it needs by overriding or hiding those methods (currently-in-scope as regular, non-implicit methods) and making them implicit, it can also disable any implicits enabled by its sibling subtraits in enclosing scopes. For example, if your test class mixes in
TypeCheckedTripleEquals, inside your test class the following methods will be implicit:convertToCheckingEqualizertypeCheckedConstraintlowPriorityTypeCheckedConstraintconvertEquivalenceToAToBConstraintconvertEquivalenceToBToAConstraintIf in the body of a test you want to turn off the type checking, you can import the members of
TripleEqualsin the body of that test. This will not only hide non-implicit methodsconvertToEqualizerunconstrainedEqualityofTypeCheckedTripleEquals, replacing those with implicit ones defined inTripleEquals, it will also hide the three methods made implicit inTypeCheckedTripleEquals(and listed above), replacing them by non-implicit ones.In short, you should be able to select a primary constraint level via either a mixin or import, then change that in nested scopes however you want, again either through a mixin or import, without getting any implicit conversion ambiguity. The innermost constraint level in scope will always be in force.
