/**
 * The base trait for ScalaTest's synchronous testing styles that accept a fixture
 * object passed into tests. This trait defines a
 * withFixture lifecycle method that takes as its parameter a test function
 * that accepts a fixture object and returns an Outcome.
 *
 * 
 * The abstract withFixture method add by this trait has the
 * following signature:
 * 
 *
 *  * def withFixture(test: OneArgTest): Outcome
 * 
 *
 * The apply method of test function interface,
 * OneArgTest, also returns Outcome:
 * 
 *
 *  * // In trait OneArgTest:
 * def apply(fixture: FixtureParam): 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(OneArgTest) returns: because the result type of withFixture(OneArgTest) is Outcome,
 * the test has by definition already finished execution.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The recommended way to ensure cleanup is performed after a test body finishes execution is
 * to use a try-finally clause.
 * Using try-finally will ensure that cleanup will occur whether
 * the test function completes abruptly by throwing a suite-aborting exception, or returns
 * normally yielding an Outcome. Note that the only situation in which a test function
 * will complete abruptly with an exception is if the test body throws a suite-aborting exception.
 * Any other exception will be caught and reported as either a Failed, Canceled,
 * or Pending.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * To enable the stacking of traits that define withFixture(NoArgTest), it is a good idea to let
 * withFixture(NoArgTest) invoke the test function instead of invoking the test
 * function directly. To do so, you'll need to convert the OneArgTest to a NoArgTest. You can do that by passing
 * the fixture object to the toNoArgTest method of OneArgTest. In other words, instead of
 * writing “test(theFixture)”, you'd delegate responsibility for
 * invoking the test function to the withFixture(NoArgTest) method of the same instance by writing:
 * 
 *
 *  * withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture))
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 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
 * type FixtureParam = String
 *
 * override def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) = {
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = "hello"
 *   try {
 *     withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 *   } finally {
 *     // Perform cleanup here
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If you have no cleanup to perform, you can write withFixture like this instead:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * type FixtureParam = String
 *
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) = {
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = "hello"
 *   withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If you want to perform an action only for certain outcomes, you can use
 * a pattern match.
 * For example, if you want to perform an action if a test fails, you'd
 * match on Failed, like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * type FixtureParam = String
 *
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = "hello"
 *
 *   val outcome = withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 *
 *   outcome match {
 *     case failed: Failed =>
 *       // perform action that you want to occur
 *       // only if a test fails here
 *       failed
 *     case other => other
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If you want to change the outcome in some way in withFixture, you can also
 * use a pattern match.
 * For example, if a particular exception intermittently causes a test to fail, and can
 * transform those failures into cancelations, like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * type FixtureParam = String
 *
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) = {
 *
 *   val theFixture = "hello"
 *
 *   withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) match {
 *     case Failed(ex: ParticularException) =>
 *       Canceled("Muting flicker", ex)
 *     case other => other
 *   }
 * }
 *

     * passing in the given fixture.
     *
     * 
     * This method makes it easier to invoke the withFixture method
     * that takes a NoArgTest. For example, if a FixtureSuite
     * mixes in SeveredStackTraces, it will inherit an implementation
     * of withFixture(NoArgTest) provided by
     * SeveredStackTraces that implements the stack trace severing
     * behavior. If the FixtureSuite does not delegate to that
     * withFixture(NoArgTest) method, the stack trace severing behavior
     * will not happen. Here's how that might look in a FixtureSuite
     * whose FixtureParam is StringBuilder:

     *
     *      * def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) = {
     *   withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(new StringBuilder))
     * }
     * 
     *
     * 
     * Invoking this method has no side effect. It just returns a NoArgTest whose
     * apply method invokes apply on this OneArgTest, passing
     * in the FixtureParam passed to toNoArgTest.
