RandomTestOrder

trait RandomTestOrder extends OneInstancePerTest

Trait that causes tests to be run in pseudo-random order.

Although the tests are run in pseudo-random order, events will be fired in the “normal” order for the Suite that mixes in this trait, as determined by runTests.

The purpose of this trait is to reduce the likelihood of unintentional order dependencies between tests in the same test class.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def expectedTestCount(filter: Filter): Int

    The total number of tests that are expected to run when this Suite's run method is invoked.

    The total number of tests that are expected to run when this Suite's run method is invoked.

    filter

    a Filter with which to filter tests to count based on their tags

  2. abstract def nestedSuites: IndexedSeq[Suite]

    An immutable IndexedSeq of this SuiteMixin object's nested Suites.

    An immutable IndexedSeq of this SuiteMixin object's nested Suites. If this SuiteMixin contains no nested Suites, this method returns an empty IndexedSeq.

  3. abstract def rerunner: Option[String]

    The fully qualified name of the class that can be used to rerun this suite.

    The fully qualified name of the class that can be used to rerun this suite.

  4. abstract val styleName: String

    This suite's style name.

    This suite's style name.

    This lifecycle method provides a string that is used to determine whether this suite object's style is one of the chosen styles for the project.

  5. abstract def suiteId: String

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

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

    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.

    returns

    this Suite object's ID.

  6. abstract def suiteName: String

    A user-friendly suite name for this Suite.

    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.

    returns

    this Suite object's suite name.

  7. abstract def tags: Map[String, Set[String]]

    A Map whose keys are String names of tagged tests and whose associated values are the Set of tag names for the test.

    A Map whose keys are String names of tagged tests and whose associated values are the Set of tag names for the test. If a test has no associated tags, its name does not appear as a key in the returned Map. If this Suite contains no tests with tags, this method returns an empty Map.

    Subclasses may override 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 test has no tags, its name should not appear as a key in the returned Map.

    Provides a TestData instance for the passed test name, given the passed config map.

    Provides a TestData instance for the passed test name, given the passed config map.

    This method is used to obtain a TestData instance to pass to withFixture(NoArgTest) and withFixture(OneArgTest) and the beforeEach and afterEach methods of trait BeforeAndAfterEach.

    testName

    the name of the test for which to return a TestData instance

    theConfigMap

    the config map to include in the returned TestData

    returns

    a TestData instance for the specified test, which includes the specified config map

  9. abstract def testNames: Set[String]

    A Set of test names.

    A Set of test names. If this Suite contains no tests, this method returns an empty Set.

    Although subclass and subtrait implementations of this method may return a Set whose iterator produces String test names in a well-defined order, the contract of this method does not required a defined order. Subclasses are free to implement this method and return test names in either a defined or undefined order.

Concrete Value Members

  1. def newInstance: Suite with RandomTestOrder

    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._

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

  2. def run(testName: Option[String], args: Args): Status

    Modifies the behavior of super.run to facilitate pseudo-random order test execution.

    Modifies the behavior of super.run to facilitate pseudo-random order test execution.

    If both testName and args.distributedTestSorter are defined, this trait's implementation of this method will create a "test-specific reporter" whose apply method will invoke the apply method of the DistributedTestSorter, which takes a test name as well as the event. It will then invoke super.run passing along the same testName and an Args object that is the same except with the original reporter replaced by the test-specific reporter.

    If either testName or args.distributedTestSorter is empty, it will create TestSortingReporter and override args's reporter and distributedTestSorter with it. It then call super.run to delegate the run to super's implementation, and to collect all children suites in suiteRunQueue. After super.run completed, it then shuffle the order of the suites collected in suiteRunQueue and run them.

    testName

    an optional name of one test to execute. If None, all relevant tests should be executed. I.e., None acts like a wildcard that means execute all relevant tests in this Suite.

    args

    the Args for this run

    returns

    a Status object that indicates when all tests and nested suites started by this method have completed, and whether or not a failure occurred.
