* Prior to ScalaTest 1.5, Stopper
extended function type () => Boolean
.
* This inheritance relationship was severed in 1.5 to make it possible to implement Stopper
s in Java, a request by an IDE
* vendor to isolate their ScalaTest integration from binary incompatibility between different Scala/ScalaTest releases.
* To make a trait easily implementable in Java, it needs to have no concrete methods. Stopper
itself does not declare
* any concrete methods, but () => Boolean
does.
*
*
*
* This implicit conversion was added in ScalaTest 1.5 to avoid breaking any source code that was actually using
* Stopper
as an () => Boolean
function. It is unlikely anyone was actually doing that, but if you were
* and now get the deprecation warning, please email [email protected] if you believe this implicit conversion should
* be retained. If no one steps forward with a compelling justification, it will be removed in a future version of ScalaTest.
