trait AppendedClues extends AnyRef
Trait providing an implicit conversion that allows clues to be placed after a block of code.
You can use the withClue construct provided by Assertions, which is
extended by every style trait in ScalaTest, to add extra information to reports of failed or canceled tests.
The withClue from Assertions places the "clue string" at the front, both
in the code and in the resulting message:
withClue("This is a prepended clue;") { 1 + 1 should equal (3) }
The above expression will yield the failure message:
This is a prepended clue; 2 did not equal 3
If you mix in this trait, or import its members via its companion object, you can alternatively place the clue string at the end, like this:
{ 1 + 1 should equal (3) } withClue "now the clue comes after"
The above expression will yield the failure message:
2 did not equal 3 now the clue comes after
If no space is already present, either at the beginning of the clue string or at the end
of the current message, a space will be placed between the two, unless the clue string
starts with one of the punctuation characters: comma (,), period (.),
or semicolon (;). For example, the failure message in the above example
includes an extra space inserted between 3 and now.
By contrast this code, which has a clue string starting with comma:
{ 1 + 1 should equal (3) } withClue ", now the clue comes after"
Will yield a failure message with no extra inserted space:
2 did not equal 3, now the clue comes after
The withClue method will only append the clue string to the detail
message of exception types that mix in the ModifiableMessage trait.
See the documentation for ModifiableMessage for more
information.
Note: the reason this functionality is not provided by Assertions directly, like the
prepended withClue construct, is because appended clues require an implicit conversion.
ScalaTest only gives you one implicit conversion by default in any test class to minimize the
potential for conflicts with other implicit conversions you may be using. All other implicit conversions,
including the one provided by this trait, you must explicitly invite into your code through inheritance
or an import.
