/**
 * Trait that facilitates a “behavior-driven” style of development (BDD), in which tests
 * are nested inside text clauses denoted with the dash operator (-).
 * 

 *
 * 

 * Trait FreeSpec is so named because unlike traits such as WordSpec, FlatSpec, and FunSpec,
 * it is enforces no structure on the text. You are free to compose text however you like. (A FreeSpec is like free-verse poetry as
 * opposed to a sonnet or haiku, which defines a structure for the text of the poem.)
 * Here's an example FreeSpec:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import scala.collection.mutable.Stack
 *
 * class StackSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *   "A Stack" - {
 *
 *     "should pop values in last-in-first-out order" in {
 *       val stack = new Stack[Int]
 *       stack.push(1)
 *       stack.push(2)
 *       assert(stack.pop() === 2)
 *       assert(stack.pop() === 1)
 *     }
 *
 *     "should throw NoSuchElementException if an empty stack is popped" in {
 *       val emptyStack = new Stack[String]
 *       intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *         emptyStack.pop()
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In a FreeSpec you write a test with a string followed by in and the body of the
 * test in curly braces, like this:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * "should pop values in last-in-first-out order" in {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * You can nest a test inside any number of description clauses, which you write with a string followed by a dash character
 * and a block, like this:  
 * 
 *
 * 
 * "A Stack" - {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * You can nest description clauses as deeply as you want. Because the description clause is denoted with an operator, not
 * a word like should, you are free to structure the text however you wish. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * 
 * class StackSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *   "A Stack" - {
 *     "whenever it is empty" - {
 *       "certainly ought to" - {
 *         "be empty" in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *         "complain on peek" in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *         "complain on pop" in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *     "but when full, by contrast, must" - {
 *       "be full" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "complain on push" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Running the above StackSpec in the interpreter would yield:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * scala> (new StackSpec).execute()
 * StackSpec:
 * A Stack 
 *   whenever it is empty 
 *     certainly ought to 
 *     - be empty
 *     - complain on peek
 *     - complain on pop
 *   but when full, by contrast, must 
 *   - be full
 *   - complain on push
 * 
 *
 * 

 * A FreeSpec can also be used to write a specification-style test in languages other than English. For
 * example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 *
 * class ComputerRoomRulesSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *   "Achtung!" - {
 *     "Alle touristen und non-technischen lookenpeepers!" - {
 *       "Das machine is nicht fuer fingerpoken und mittengrabben." in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "Is easy" - {
 *         "schnappen der springenwerk" in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *         "blowenfusen" in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *         "und poppencorken mit spitzen sparken." in {
 *           // ...
 *         }
 *       }
 *       "Das machine is diggen by experten only." in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "Is nicht fuer gerwerken by das dummkopfen." in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "Das rubbernecken sightseeren keepen das cottenpicken hands in das pockets." in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "Relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights." in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Running the above ComputerRoomRulesSpec in the interpreter would yield:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * (new ComputerRoomRulesSpec).execute()
 * ComputerRoomRulesSpec:
 * Achtung! 
 *   Alle touristen und non-technischen lookenpeepers! 
 *   - Das machine is nicht fuer fingerpoken und mittengrabben.
 *     Is easy 
 *     - schnappen der springenwerk
 *     - blowenfusen
 *     - und poppencorken mit spitzen sparken.
 *   - Das machine is diggen by experten only.
 *   - Is nicht fuer gerwerken by das dummkopfen.
 *   - Das rubbernecken sightseeren keepen das cottenpicken hands in das pockets.
 *   - Relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * A FreeSpec's lifecycle has two phases: the registration phase and the
 * ready phase. It starts in registration phase and enters ready phase the first time
 * run is called on it. It then remains in ready phase for the remainder of its lifetime.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Tests can only be registered while the FreeSpec is
 * in its registration phase. Any attempt to register a test after the FreeSpec has
 * entered its ready phase, i.e., after run has been invoked on the FreeSpec,
 * will be met with a thrown TestRegistrationClosedException. The recommended style
 * of using FreeSpec is to register tests during object construction as is done in all
 * the examples shown here. If you keep to the recommended style, you should never see a
 * TestRegistrationClosedException.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note: In BDD, the word example is usually used instead of test. The word test will not appear
 * in your code if you use FreeSpec, so if you prefer the word example you can use it. However, in this documentation
 * the word test will be used, for clarity and to be consistent with the rest of ScalaTest.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Ignored tests
 *
 * To support the common use case of “temporarily” disabling a test, with the
 * good intention of resurrecting the test at a later time, FreeSpec adds a method
 * ignore to strings that can be used instead of in to register a test. For example, to temporarily
 * disable the test with the name "A Stack should pop values in last-in-first-out order", just
 * change “in” into “ignore,” like this:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import scala.collection.mutable.Stack
 *
 * class StackSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *   "A Stack" - {
 *
 *     "should pop values in last-in-first-out order" ignore {
 *       val stack = new Stack[Int]
 *       stack.push(1)
 *       stack.push(2)
 *       assert(stack.pop() === 2)
 *       assert(stack.pop() === 1)
 *     }
 *
 *     "should throw NoSuchElementException if an empty stack is popped" in {
 *       val emptyStack = new Stack[String]
 *       intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *         emptyStack.pop()
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this version of StackSpec with:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> (new StackSpec).execute()
 * 
 *
 * 

 * It will run only the second test and report that the first test was ignored:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * StackSpec:
 * A Stack
 * - should pop values in last-in-first-out order !!! IGNORED !!!
 * - should throw NoSuchElementException if an empty stack is popped
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Informers
 *
 * 

 * One of the parameters to the run method is a Reporter, which
 * will collect and report information about the running suite of tests.
 * Information about suites and tests that were run, whether tests succeeded or failed, 
 * and tests that were ignored will be passed to the Reporter as the suite runs.
 * Most often the reporting done by default by FreeSpec's methods will be sufficient, but
 * occasionally you may wish to provide custom information to the Reporter from a test.
 * For this purpose, an Informer that will forward information to the current Reporter
 * is provided via the info parameterless method.
 * You can pass the extra information to the Informer via its apply method.
 * The Informer will then pass the information to the Reporter via an InfoProvided event.
 * Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 *
 * class ArithmeticSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *  "The Scala language" - {
 *     "should add correctly" in {
 *       val sum = 2 + 3
 *       assert(sum === 5)
 *       info("addition seems to work")
 *     }
 *
 *     "should subtract correctly" in {
 *       val diff = 7 - 2
 *       assert(diff === 5)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this FreeSpec from the interpreter, you will see the following message
 * included in the printed report:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> (new ArithmeticSpec).execute()
 * ArithmeticSpec:
 * The Scala language 
 * - should add correctly
 *   + addition seems to work 
 * - should subtract correctly
 * 
 *
 * 

 * One use case for the Informer is to pass more information about a specification to the reporter. For example,
 * the GivenWhenThen trait provides methods that use the implicit info provided by FreeSpec
 * to pass such information to the reporter. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import org.scalatest.GivenWhenThen
 * 
 * class ArithmeticSpec extends FreeSpec with GivenWhenThen {
 * 
 *  "The Scala language" - {
 * 
 *     "should add correctly" in { 
 * 
 *       given("two integers")
 *       val x = 2
 *       val y = 3
 * 
 *       when("they are added")
 *       val sum = x + y
 * 
 *       then("the result is the sum of the two numbers")
 *       assert(sum === 5)
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should subtract correctly" in {
 * 
 *       given("two integers")
 *       val x = 7
 *       val y = 2
 * 
 *       when("one is subtracted from the other")
 *       val diff = x - y
 * 
 *       then("the result is the difference of the two numbers")
 *       assert(diff === 5)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this FreeSpec from the interpreter, you will see the following messages
 * included in the printed report:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> (new ArithmeticSpec).execute()
 * ArithmeticSpec:
 * The Scala language 
 * - should add correctly
 *   + Given two integers 
 *   + When they are added 
 *   + Then the result is the sum of the two numbers 
 * - should subtract correctly
 *   + Given two integers 
 *   + When one is subtracted from the other 
 *   + Then the result is the difference of the two numbers 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Pending tests
 *
 * 

 * A pending test is one that has been given a name but is not yet implemented. The purpose of
 * pending tests is to facilitate a style of testing in which documentation of behavior is sketched
 * out before tests are written to verify that behavior (and often, before the behavior of
 * the system being tested is itself implemented). Such sketches form a kind of specification of
 * what tests and functionality to implement later.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * To support this style of testing, a test can be given a name that specifies one
 * bit of behavior required by the system being tested. The test can also include some code that
 * sends more information about the behavior to the reporter when the tests run. At the end of the test,
 * it can call method pending, which will cause it to complete abruptly with TestPendingException.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Because tests in ScalaTest can be designated as pending with TestPendingException, both the test name and any information
 * sent to the reporter when running the test can appear in the report of a test run. (In other words,
 * the code of a pending test is executed just like any other test.) However, because the test completes abruptly
 * with TestPendingException, the test will be reported as pending, to indicate
 * the actual test, and possibly the functionality it is intended to test, has not yet been implemented.
 * You can mark tests as pending in a FreeSpec like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 *
 * class ArithmeticSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *   // Sharing fixture objects via instance variables
 *   val shared = 5
 *
 *  "The Scala language" - {
 *     "should add correctly" in {
 *       val sum = 2 + 3
 *       assert(sum === shared)
 *     }
 *
 *     "should subtract correctly" is (pending)
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this version of ArithmeticSpec with:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> (new ArithmeticSpec).execute()
 * 
 *
 * 

 * It will run both tests but report that The Scala language should subtract correctly is pending. You'll see:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The Scala language
 * - should add correctly
 * - should subtract correctly (pending)
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * One difference between an ignored test and a pending one is that an ignored test is intended to be used during a
 * significant refactorings of the code under test, when tests break and you don't want to spend the time to fix
 * all of them immediately. You can mark some of those broken tests as ignored temporarily, so that you can focus the red
 * bar on just failing tests you actually want to fix immediately. Later you can go back and fix the ignored tests.
 * In other words, by ignoring some failing tests temporarily, you can more easily notice failed tests that you actually
 * want to fix. By contrast, a pending test is intended to be used before a test and/or the code under test is written.
 * Pending indicates you've decided to write a test for a bit of behavior, but either you haven't written the test yet, or
 * have only written part of it, or perhaps you've written the test but don't want to implement the behavior it tests
 * until after you've implemented a different bit of behavior you realized you need first. Thus ignored tests are designed
 * to facilitate refactoring of existing code whereas pending tests are designed to facilitate the creation of new code.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * One other difference between ignored and pending tests is that ignored tests are implemented as a test tag that is
 * excluded by default. Thus an ignored test is never executed. By contrast, a pending test is implemented as a
 * test that throws TestPendingException (which is what calling the pending method does). Thus
 * the body of pending tests are executed up until they throw TestPendingException. The reason for this difference
 * is that it enables your unfinished test to send InfoProvided messages to the reporter before it completes
 * abruptly with TestPendingException, as shown in the previous example on Informers
 * that used the GivenWhenThen trait. For example, the following snippet in a FreeSpec:
 * 
 *
 * 
 *  "The Scala language" should {
 *     "add correctly" in { 
 *       given("two integers")
 *       when("they are added")
 *       then("the result is the sum of the two numbers")
 *       pending
 *     }
 *     // ...
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Would yield the following output when run in the interpreter:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The Scala language
 * - should add correctly (pending)
 *   + Given two integers 
 *   + When they are added 
 *   + Then the result is the sum of the two numbers 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Tagging tests
 *
 * A FreeSpec's tests may be classified into groups by tagging them with string names.
 * As with any suite, when executing a FreeSpec, groups of tests can
 * optionally be included and/or excluded. To tag a FreeSpec's tests,
 * you pass objects that extend abstract class org.scalatest.Tag to taggedAs method
 * invoked on the string that describes the test you want to tag. Class Tag takes one parameter,
 * a string name.  If you have
 * created Java annotation interfaces for use as group names in direct subclasses of org.scalatest.Suite,
 * then you will probably want to use group names on your FreeSpecs that match. To do so, simply 
 * pass the fully qualified names of the Java interfaces to the Tag constructor. For example, if you've
 * defined Java annotation interfaces with fully qualified names, com.mycompany.groups.SlowTest and com.mycompany.groups.DbTest, then you could
 * create matching tags for FreeSpecs like this:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.Tag
 *
 * object SlowTest extends Tag("com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest")
 * object DbTest extends Tag("com.mycompany.tags.DbTest")
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Given these definitions, you could tag FreeSpec tests like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 *
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *   "The Scala language" - {
 *
 *     "should add correctly" taggedAs(SlowTest) in {
 *       val sum = 1 + 1
 *       assert(sum === 2)
 *     }
 *
 *     "should subtract correctly" taggedAs(SlowTest, DbTest) in {
 *       val diff = 4 - 1
 *       assert(diff === 3)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * This code marks both tests with the com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest tag, 
 * and test "The Scala language should subtract correctly" with the com.mycompany.tags.DbTest tag.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The run method takes a Filter, whose constructor takes an optional
 * Set[String] called tagsToInclude and a Set[String] called
 * tagsToExclude. If tagsToInclude is None, all tests will be run
 * except those those belonging to tags listed in the
 * tagsToExclude Set. If tagsToInclude is defined, only tests
 * belonging to tags mentioned in the tagsToInclude set, and not mentioned in tagsToExclude,
 * will be run.
 * 
 *
 * 
Shared fixtures
 *
 * 

 * A test fixture is objects or other artifacts (such as files, sockets, database
 * connections, etc.) used by tests to do their work.
 * If a fixture is used by only one test method, then the definitions of the fixture objects can
 * be local to the method, such as the objects assigned to sum and diff in the
 * previous ExampleSpec examples. If multiple methods need to share an immutable fixture, one approach
 * is to assign them to instance variables.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In some cases, however, shared mutable fixture objects may be changed by test methods such that
 * they need to be recreated or reinitialized before each test. Shared resources such
 * as files or database connections may also need to 
 * be created and initialized before, and cleaned up after, each test. JUnit 3 offered methods setUp and
 * tearDown for this purpose. In ScalaTest, you can use the BeforeAndAfterEach trait,
 * which will be described later, to implement an approach similar to JUnit's setUp
 * and tearDown, however, this approach usually involves reassigning vars or mutating objects
 * between tests. Before going that route, you may wish to consider some more functional approaches that
 * avoid side effects.
 * 
 *
 * 
Calling create-fixture methods
 *
 * 

 * One approach is to write one or more create-fixture methods
 * that return a new instance of a needed fixture object (or an holder object containing multiple needed fixture objects) each time it
 * is called. You can then call a create-fixture method at the beginning of each
 * test method that needs the fixture, storing the returned object or objects in local variables. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 *
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec {
 * 
 *   def fixture =
 *     new {
 *       val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
 *       val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 *     }
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       val f = fixture
 *       f.builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(f.builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(f.buffer.isEmpty)
 *       f.buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       val f = fixture
 *       f.builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(f.builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(f.buffer.isEmpty)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The “f.” in front of each use of a fixture object provides a visual indication of which objects 
 * are part of the fixture, but if you prefer, you can import the the members with “import f._” and use the names directly.
 * 
 *
 * 
Instantiating fixture traits
 *
 * 

 * A related technique is to place
 * the fixture objects in a fixture trait and run your test code in the context of a new anonymous class instance that mixes in
 * the fixture trait, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec {
 * 
 *   trait Fixture {
 *     val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
 *     val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       new Fixture {
 *         builder.append("easy!")
 *         assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *         assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *         buffer += "sweet"
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       new Fixture {
 *         builder.append("fun!")
 *         assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *         assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
Mixing in OneInstancePerTest
 *
 * 

 * If every test method requires the same set of
 * mutable fixture objects, one other approach you can take is make them simply vals and mix in trait
 * OneInstancePerTest.  If you mix in OneInstancePerTest, each test
 * will be run in its own instance of the Suite, similar to the way JUnit tests are executed. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import org.scalatest.OneInstancePerTest
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec with OneInstancePerTest {
 * 
 *   val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
 *   val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Although the create-fixture, fixture-trait, and OneInstancePerTest approaches take care of setting up a fixture before each
 * test, they don't address the problem of cleaning up a fixture after the test completes. In this situation, you'll need to either
 * use side effects or the loan pattern.
 * 
 *
 * 
Mixing in BeforeAndAfter
 *
 * 

 * One way to use side effects is to mix in the BeforeAndAfter trait.
 * With this trait you can denote a bit of code to run before each test with before and/or after each test
 * each test with after, like this:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import org.scalatest.BeforeAndAfter
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec with BeforeAndAfter {
 * 
 *   val builder = new StringBuilder
 *   val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 * 
 *   before {
 *     builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
 *   }
 * 
 *   after {
 *     builder.clear()
 *     buffer.clear()
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 
Overriding withFixture(NoArgTest)
 *
 * 

 * An alternate way to take care of setup and cleanup via side effects
 * is to override withFixture. Trait Suite's implementation of
 * runTest, which is inherited by this trait, passes a no-arg test function to withFixture. It is withFixture's
 * responsibility to invoke that test function.  Suite's implementation of withFixture simply
 * invokes the function, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * // Default implementation
 * protected def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *   test()
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * You can, therefore, override withFixture to perform setup before, and cleanup after, invoking the test function. If
 * you have cleanup to perform, you should invoke the test function
 * inside a try block and perform the cleanup in a finally clause.
 * Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 *
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec {
 *
 *   val builder = new StringBuilder
 *   val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 *
 *   override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *     builder.append("ScalaTest is ") // perform setup
 *     try {
 *       test() // invoke the test function
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       builder.clear() // perform cleanup
 *       buffer.clear()
 *     }
 *   }
 *
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 *
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "clear"
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that the NoArgTest passed to withFixture, in addition to
 * an apply method that executes the test, also includes the test name as well as the config
 * map passed to runTest. Thus you can also use the test name and configuration objects in withFixture.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The reason you should perform cleanup in a finally clause is that withFixture is called by
 * runTest, which expects an exception to be thrown to indicate a failed test. Thus when you invoke
 * the test function inside withFixture, it may complete abruptly with an exception. The finally
 * clause will ensure the fixture cleanup happens as that exception propagates back up the call stack to runTest.
 * 
 *
 * 
Overriding withFixture(OneArgTest)
 *
 * 

 * To use the loan pattern, you can extend fixture.FreeSpec (from the org.scalatest.fixture package) instead of
 * FreeSpec. Each test in a fixture.FreeSpec takes a fixture as a parameter, allowing you to pass the fixture into
 * the test. You must indicate the type of the fixture parameter by specifying FixtureParam, and implement a
 * withFixture method that takes a OneArgTest. This withFixture method is responsible for
 * invoking the one-arg test function, so you can perform fixture set up before, and clean up after, invoking and passing
 * the fixture into the test function. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.fixture
 * import java.io.FileWriter
 * import java.io.File
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends fixture.FreeSpec {
 * 
 *   final val tmpFile = "temp.txt"
 * 
 *   type FixtureParam = FileWriter
 * 
 *   def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) {
 * 
 *     val writer = new FileWriter(tmpFile) // set up the fixture
 *     try {
 *       test(writer) // "loan" the fixture to the test
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       writer.close() // clean up the fixture
 *     }
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in { writer =>
 *       writer.write("Hello, test!")
 *       writer.flush()
 *       assert(new File(tmpFile).length === 12)
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in { writer =>
 *       writer.write("Hi, test!")
 *       writer.flush()
 *       assert(new File(tmpFile).length === 9)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For more information, see the documentation for fixture.FreeSpec.
 * 
 *
 * 
Providing different fixtures to different tests
 * 
 * 

 * If different tests in the same FreeSpec require different fixtures, you can combine the previous techniques and
 * provide each test with just the fixture or fixtures it needs. Here's an example in which a StringBuilder and a
 * ListBuffer are provided via fixture traits, and file writer (that requires cleanup) is provided via the loan pattern:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import java.io.FileWriter
 * import java.io.File
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec {
 * 
 *   final val tmpFile = "temp.txt"
 * 
 *   trait Builder {
 *     val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
 *   }
 * 
 *   trait Buffer {
 *     val buffer = ListBuffer("ScalaTest", "is")
 *   }
 * 
 *   def withWriter(testCode: FileWriter => Any) {
 *     val writer = new FileWriter(tmpFile) // set up the fixture
 *     try {
 *       testCode(writer) // "loan" the fixture to the test
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       writer.close() // clean up the fixture
 *     }
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be productive" in { // This test needs the StringBuilder fixture
 *       new Builder {
 *         builder.append("productive!")
 *         assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is productive!")
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be readable" in { // This test needs the ListBuffer[String] fixture
 *       new Buffer {
 *         buffer += ("readable!")
 *         assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "readable!"))
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be friendly" in { // This test needs the FileWriter fixture
 *       withWriter { writer =>
 *         writer.write("Hello, user!")
 *         writer.flush()
 *         assert(new File(tmpFile).length === 12)
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be clear and concise" in { // This test needs the StringBuilder and ListBuffer
 *       new Builder with Buffer {
 *         builder.append("clear!")
 *         buffer += ("concise!")
 *         assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
 *         assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "concise!"))
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be composable" in { // This test needs all three fixtures
 *       new Builder with Buffer {
 *         builder.append("clear!")
 *         buffer += ("concise!")
 *         assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
 *         assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "concise!"))
 *         withWriter { writer =>
 *           writer.write(builder.toString)
 *           writer.flush()
 *           assert(new File(tmpFile).length === 19)
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In the previous example, should be productive uses only the StringBuilder fixture, so it just instantiates
 * a new Builder, whereas should be readable uses only the ListBuffer fixture, so it just intantiates
 * a new Buffer. should be friendly needs just the FileWriter fixture, so it invokes
 * withWriter, which prepares and passes a FileWriter to the test (and takes care of closing it afterwords).
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Two tests need multiple fixtures: should be clear and concise needs both the StringBuilder and the
 * ListBuffer, so it instantiates a class that mixes in both fixture traits with new Builder with Buffer.
 * should be composable needs all three fixtures, so in addition to new Builder with Buffer it also invokes
 * withWriter, wrapping just the of the test code that needs the fixture.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that in this case, the loan pattern is being implemented via the withWriter method that takes a function, not
 * by overriding fixture.FreeSpec's withFixture(OneArgTest) method. fixture.FreeSpec makes the most sense
 * if all (or at least most) tests need the same fixture, whereas in this Suite only two tests need the
 * FileWriter.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In the previous example, the withWriter method passed an object into
 * the tests. Passing fixture objects into tests is generally a good idea when possible, but sometimes a side affect is unavoidable.
 * For example, if you need to initialize a database running on a server across a network, your with-fixture 
 * method will likely have nothing to pass. In such cases, simply create a with-fixture method that takes a by-name parameter and
 * performs setup and cleanup via side effects, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * def withDataInDatabase(test: => Any) {
 *   // initialize the database across the network
 *   try {
 *     test // "loan" the initialized database to the test
 *   }
 *   finally {
 *     // clean up the database
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * You can then use it like:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * "A user" - {
 *   "can log onto the system" in {
 *     withDataInDatabase {
 *       // test user logging in scenario
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 
Composing stackable fixture traits
 *
 * 

 * In larger projects, teams often end up with several different fixtures that test classes need in different combinations,
 * and possibly initialized (and cleaned up) in different orders. A good way to accomplish this in ScalaTest is to factor the individual
 * fixtures into traits that can be composed using the stackable trait pattern. This can be done, for example, by placing
 * withFixture methods in several traits, each of which call super.withFixture. Here's an example in
 * which the StringBuilder and ListBuffer[String] fixtures used in the previous examples have been
 * factored out into two stackable fixture traits named Builder and Buffer:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import org.scalatest.AbstractSuite
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * trait Builder extends AbstractSuite { this: Suite =>
 *
 *   val builder = new StringBuilder
 *
 *   abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *     builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
 *     try {
 *       super.withFixture(test) // To be stackable, must call super.withFixture
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       builder.clear()
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 *
 * trait Buffer extends AbstractSuite { this: Suite =>
 *
 *   val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 *
 *   abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *     try {
 *       super.withFixture(test) // To be stackable, must call super.withFixture
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       buffer.clear()
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec with Builder with Buffer {
 *
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "clear"
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * By mixing in both the Builder and Buffer traits, ExampleSpec gets both fixtures, which will be
 * initialized before each test and cleaned up after. The order the traits are mixed together determines the order of execution.
 * In this case, Builder is "super" to Buffer. If you wanted Buffer to be "super"
 * to Builder, you need only switch the order you mix them together, like this: 
 * 
 *
 * 
 * class Example2Spec extends FreeSpec with Buffer with Builder
 * 
 *
 * 

 * And if you only need one fixture you mix in only that trait:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * class Example3Spec extends FreeSpec with Builder
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Another way to create stackable fixture traits is by extending the BeforeAndAfterEach
 * and/or BeforeAndAfterAll traits.
 * BeforeAndAfterEach has a beforeEach method that will be run before each test (like JUnit's setUp),
 * and an afterEach method that will be run after (like JUnit's tearDown).
 * Similarly, BeforeAndAfterAll has a beforeAll method that will be run before all tests,
 * and an afterAll method that will be run after all tests. Here's what the previously shown example would look like if it
 * were rewritten to use the BeforeAndAfterEach methods instead of withFixture:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.FreeSpec
 * import org.scalatest.BeforeAndAfterEach
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * trait Builder extends BeforeAndAfterEach { this: Suite =>
 * 
 *   val builder = new StringBuilder
 * 
 *   override def beforeEach() {
 *     builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
 *     super.beforeEach() // To be stackable, must call super.beforeEach
 *   }
 * 
 *   override def afterEach() {
 *     try {
 *       super.afterEach() // To be stackable, must call super.afterEach
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       builder.clear()
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * trait Buffer extends BeforeAndAfterEach { this: Suite =>
 * 
 *   val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
 * 
 *   override def afterEach() {
 *     try {
 *       super.afterEach() // To be stackable, must call super.afterEach
 *     }
 *     finally {
 *       buffer.clear()
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends FreeSpec with Builder with Buffer {
 * 
 *   "Testing" - {
 * 
 *     "should be easy" in {
 *       builder.append("easy!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "sweet"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "should be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *       buffer += "clear"
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * To get the same ordering as withFixture, place your super.beforeEach call at the end of each
 * beforeEach method, and the super.afterEach call at the beginning of each afterEach
 * method, as shown in the previous example. It is a good idea to invoke super.afterEach in a try
 * block and perform cleanup in a finally clause, as shown in the previous example, because this ensures the
 * cleanup code is performed even if super.afterAll throws an exception.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * One difference to bear in mind between the before-and-after traits and the withFixture methods, is that if
 * a withFixture method completes abruptly with an exception, it is considered a failed test. By contrast, if any of the
 * methods on the before-and-after traits (i.e., before  and after of BeforeAndAfter,
 * beforeEach and afterEach of BeforeAndAfterEach,
 * and beforeAll and afterAll of BeforeAndAfterAll) complete abruptly, it is considered a
 * failed suite, which will result in a SuiteAborted event.
 * 
 * 
 * 
Shared tests
 *
 * 

 * Sometimes you may want to run the same test code on different fixture objects. In other words, you may want to write tests that are "shared"
 * by different fixture objects.  To accomplish this in a FreeSpec, you first place shared tests in behavior functions.
 * These behavior functions will be invoked during the construction phase of any FreeSpec that uses them, so that the tests they
 * contain will be registered as tests in that FreeSpec.  For example, given this stack class:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class Stack[T] {
 *
 *   val MAX = 10
 *   private val buf = new ListBuffer[T]
 *
 *   def push(o: T) {
 *     if (!full)
 *       buf.prepend(o)
 *     else
 *       throw new IllegalStateException("can't push onto a full stack")
 *   }
 *
 *   def pop(): T = {
 *     if (!empty)
 *       buf.remove(0)
 *     else
 *       throw new IllegalStateException("can't pop an empty stack")
 *   }
 *
 *   def peek: T = {
 *     if (!empty)
 *       buf(0)
 *     else
 *       throw new IllegalStateException("can't pop an empty stack")
 *   }
 *
 *   def full: Boolean = buf.size == MAX
 *   def empty: Boolean = buf.size == 0
 *   def size = buf.size
 *
 *   override def toString = buf.mkString("Stack(", ", ", ")")
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * You may want to test the Stack class in different states: empty, full, with one item, with one item less than capacity,
 * etc. You may find you have several tests that make sense any time the stack is non-empty. Thus you'd ideally want to run
 * those same tests for three stack fixture objects: a full stack, a stack with a one item, and a stack with one item less than
 * capacity. With shared tests, you can factor these tests out into a behavior function, into which you pass the
 * stack fixture to use when running the tests. So in your FreeSpec for stack, you'd invoke the
 * behavior function three times, passing in each of the three stack fixtures so that the shared tests are run for all three fixtures. You
 * can define a behavior function that encapsulates these shared tests inside the FreeSpec that uses them. If they are shared
 * between different FreeSpecs, however, you could also define them in a separate trait that is mixed into each FreeSpec
 * that uses them.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * For example, here the nonEmptyStack behavior function (in this case, a behavior method) is
 * defined in a trait along with another method containing shared tests for non-full stacks:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * trait StackBehaviors { this: FreeSpec =>
 * 
 *   def nonEmptyStack(newStack: => Stack[Int], lastItemAdded: Int) {
 *
 *     "be non-empty" in {
 *       assert(!newStack.empty)
 *     }
 *
 *     "return the top item on peek" in {
 *       assert(newStack.peek === lastItemAdded)
 *     }
 *
 *     "not remove the top item on peek" in {
 *       val stack = newStack
 *       val size = stack.size
 *       assert(stack.peek === lastItemAdded)
 *       assert(stack.size === size)
 *     }
 *
 *     "remove the top item on pop" in {
 *       val stack = newStack
 *       val size = stack.size
 *       assert(stack.pop === lastItemAdded)
 *       assert(stack.size === size - 1)
 *     }
 *   }
 *
 *   def nonFullStack(newStack: => Stack[Int]) {
 *
 *     "not be full" in {
 *       assert(!newStack.full)
 *     }
 *
 *     "add to the top on push" in {
 *       val stack = newStack
 *       val size = stack.size
 *       stack.push(7)
 *       assert(stack.size === size + 1)
 *       assert(stack.peek === 7)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Given these behavior functions, you could invoke them directly, but FreeSpec offers a DSL for the purpose,
 * which looks like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * behave like nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed)
 * behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you prefer to use an imperative style to change fixtures, for example by mixing in BeforeAndAfterEach and
 * reassigning a stack var in beforeEach, you could write your behavior functions
 * in the context of that var, which means you wouldn't need to pass in the stack fixture because it would be
 * in scope already inside the behavior function. In that case, your code would look like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * behave like nonEmptyStack // assuming lastValuePushed is also in scope inside nonEmptyStack
 * behave like nonFullStack
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The recommended style, however, is the functional, pass-all-the-needed-values-in style. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * class SharedTestExampleSpec extends FreeSpec with StackBehaviors {
 * 
 *   // Stack fixture creation methods
 *   def emptyStack = new Stack[Int]
 * 
 *   def fullStack = {
 *     val stack = new Stack[Int]
 *     for (i <- 0 until stack.MAX)
 *       stack.push(i)
 *     stack
 *   }
 * 
 *   def stackWithOneItem = {
 *     val stack = new Stack[Int]
 *     stack.push(9)
 *     stack
 *   }
 * 
 *   def stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity = {
 *     val stack = new Stack[Int]
 *     for (i <- 1 to 9)
 *       stack.push(i)
 *     stack
 *   }
 * 
 *   val lastValuePushed = 9
 * 
 *   "A Stack" - {
 *     "when empty" - {
 *       "should be empty" in {
 *         assert(emptyStack.empty)
 *       }
 * 
 *       "should complain on peek" in {
 *         intercept[IllegalStateException] {
 *           emptyStack.peek
 *         }
 *       }
 *
 *       "should complain on pop" in {
 *         intercept[IllegalStateException] {
 *           emptyStack.pop
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "when it contains one item" - {
 *       "should" - {
 *         behave like nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed)
 *         behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
 *       }
 *     }
 *     
 *     "when it contains one item less than capacity" - {
 *       "should" - {
 *         behave like nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity, lastValuePushed)
 *         behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity)
 *       }
 *     }
 * 
 *     "when full" - {
 *       "should be full" in {
 *         assert(fullStack.full)
 *       }
 * 
 *       "should" - {
 *         behave like nonEmptyStack(fullStack, lastValuePushed)
 *       }
 * 
 *       "should complain on a push" in {
 *         intercept[IllegalStateException] {
 *           fullStack.push(10)
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you load these classes into the Scala interpreter (with scalatest's JAR file on the class path), and execute it,
 * you'll see:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> (new SharedTestExampleSpec).execute()
 * SharedTestExampleSpec:
 * A Stack 
 *   when empty 
 *   - should be empty
 *   - should complain on peek
 *   - should complain on pop
 *   when it contains one item 
 *     should 
 *     - be non-empty
 *     - return the top item on peek
 *     - not remove the top item on peek
 *     - remove the top item on pop
 *     - not be full
 *     - add to the top on push
 *   when it contains one item less than capacity 
 *     should 
 *     - be non-empty
 *     - return the top item on peek
 *     - not remove the top item on peek
 *     - remove the top item on pop
 *     - not be full
 *     - add to the top on push
 *   when full 
 *   - should be full
 *     should 
 *     - be non-empty
 *     - return the top item on peek
 *     - not remove the top item on peek
 *     - remove the top item on pop
 *   - should complain on a push
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * One thing to keep in mind when using shared tests is that in ScalaTest, each test in a suite must have a unique name.
 * If you register the same tests repeatedly in the same suite, one problem you may encounter is an exception at runtime
 * complaining that multiple tests are being registered with the same test name. A good way to solve this problem in a FreeSpec is to make sure
 * each test is in the context of different surrounding description clauses,
 * because a test's name is the concatenation of its surrounding clauses, followed by the test's text.
 * For example, the following code in a FreeSpec would register a test with the name "A Stack when empty should be empty":
 * 
 *
 * 
 * "A Stack" - {
 *   "when empty" - {
 *     "should be empty" in {
 *       assert(emptyStack.empty)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * // ...
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If the "should be empty" test was factored out into a behavior function, it could be called repeatedly so long
 * as each invocation of the behavior function is in the context of a different surrounding description (dash) clauses.
