 * TODO: Fill in here and also add a lifecycle-methods to Suite, which is linked to
 * from SuiteMixin.
 *
 * 
 * This trait provides a final override of withFixture(NoArgTest), declared in
 * supertrait Suite, because the withFixture(NoArgTest) lifecycle
 * method assumes synchronous testing. Here is its signature:
 * 
 *
 *  * def withFixture(test: NoArgTest): Outcome
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The test function interface, NoArgTest, offers an apply method
 * that also returns Outcome:
 * 
 *
 *  * // In trait NoArgTest:
 * def apply(): Outcome
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Because the result of a test is an Outcome, when the test function returns, the test body must have determined an outcome already. It
 * will already be one of Succeeded, Failed, Canceled, or Pending. This is
 * also true when withFixture(NoArgTest) returns: because the result type of withFixture(NoArgTest) is Outcome,
 * the test has by definition already finished execution.
 * 
 *
 */

/**
 * The base trait of ScalaTest's asynchronous testing styles, which defines a 
 * withFixture lifecycle method that accepts as its parameter a test function
 * that returns a FutureOutcome.
 *
 * 
 * The withFixture method add by this trait has the 
 * following signature and implementation:
 * 
 *
 *  * def withFixture(test: NoArgAsyncTest): FutureOutcome = {
 *   test()
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * This trait enables testing of asynchronous code without blocking.  Instead of returning
 * Outcome like TestSuite's 
 * withFixture, this trait's withFixture method returns a
 * FutureOutcome. Similarly, the apply method of test function interface,
 * NoArgAsyncTest, returns FutureOutcome:
 * 
 *
 *  * // In trait NoArgAsyncTest:
 * def apply(): FutureOutcome
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The withFixture method supports async testing, because when the test function returns,
 * the test body has not necessarily finished execution.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The recommended way to ensure cleanup is performed after a test body finishes execution is
 * to use a complete-lastly clause, syntax that is defined in trait
 * CompleteLastly, which this trait extends.
 * Using cleanup-lastly will ensure that cleanup will occur whether
 * FutureOutcome-producing code completes abruptly by throwing an exception, or returns
 * normally yielding a FutureOutcome. In the latter case,
 * complete-lastly will
 * register the cleanup code to execute asynchronously when the FutureOutcome completes.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The withFixture method is designed to be stacked, and to enable this, you should always call the super implementation
 * of withFixture, and let it invoke the test function rather than invoking the test function directly. In other words, instead of writing
 * “test()”, you should write “super.withFixture(test)”. Thus, the recommended
 * structure of a withFixture implementation that performs cleanup looks like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgAsyncTest) = {
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   complete {
 *     super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
 *   } lastly {
 *     // Perform cleanup here
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If you have no cleanup to perform, you can write withFixture like this instead:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgAsyncTest) = {
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The test function and withFixture method returns a
 * FutureOutcome,
 * a ScalaTest class that wraps a Scala Future[Outcome] and offers methods
 * more specific to asynchronous test outcomes. In a Scala Future, any exception
 * results in a scala.util.Failure. In a FutureOutcome, a
 * thrown TestPendingException always results in a Pending,
 * a thrown TestCanceledException always results in a Canceled,
 * and any other exception, so long as it isn't suite-aborting, results in a
 * Failed. This is true of the asynchronous test code itself that's represented by
 * the FutureOutcome and any transformation or callback registered on the
 * FutureOutcome in withFixture.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * If you want to perform an action only for certain outcomes, you'll need to 
 * register code performing that action on the FutureOutcome using
 * one of FutureOutcome's callback registration methods:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * onSucceededThen - executed if the Outcome is a Succeeded.
 * 
onFailedThen - executed if the Outcome is a Failed.
 * 
onCanceledThen - executed if the Outcome is a Canceled.
 * 
onPendingThen - executed if the Outcome is a Pending.
 * 
onOutcomeThen - executed on any Outcome (i.e., no
 *        suite-aborting exception is thrown).
 * 
onAbortedThen - executed if a suite-aborting exception is thrown.
 * 
onCompletedThen - executed whether the result is an Outcome
 *        or a thrown suite-aborting exception.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * For example, if you want to perform an action if a test fails, you'd register the
 * callback using onFailedThen, like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *
 *   val futureOutcome = super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
 *
 *   futureOutcome onFailedThen { ex =>
 *     // perform action that you want to occur
 *     // only if a test fails here
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Note that all callback registration methods, such as onFailedThen used in the
 * previous example, return a new FutureOutcome that won't complete until the
 * the original FutureOutcome and the callback has completed. If the callback
 * throws an exception, the resulting FutureOutcome will represent that exception.
 * For example, if a FutureOutcome results in Failed, but a callback
 * registered on that FutureOutcome with onFailedThen throws TestPendingException, the
 * result of the FutureOutcome returned by onFailedThen will
 * be Pending.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Lastly, if you want to change the outcome in some way in withFixture, you'll need to use
 * the change method of FutureOutcome, like this:
 * 
 * 
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *
 *   val futureOutcome = super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
 *
 *   futureOutcome change { outcome =>
 *     // transform the outcome into a new outcome here
 *   }
 * }
 *
