/**
 * The base trait of ScalaTest's "fixture" async testing styles, which enable you to pass fixture objects into tests.
 *
 * 
 * This trait provides a final override of withFixture(OneArgTest), declared in
 * supertrait fixture.Suite, because the withFixture(OneArgTest) lifecycle
 * method assumes synchronous testing. Here is its signature:
 * 
 *
 *  * def withFixture(test: OneArgTest): Outcome
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The test function interface, OneArgTest, offers an apply method
 * that takes a FixtureParam and 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 body has by definition has already finished execution.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * This trait overrides and makes abstract the runTest method. Subtraits must 
 * must implement this method to call withFixture(OneArgAsyncTest) instead of withFixture(OneArgTest),
 * where withFixture(OneArgAsyncTest) is a new method declared in this trait with the following
 * signature and implementation:
 * 
 *
 *  * def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest): FutureOutcome = {
 *   test()
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Instead of returning Outcome like withFixture, the withFixture method
 * returns a FutureOutcome. Similarly, the apply method of test function interface,
 * OneArgAsyncTest, returns FutureOutcome:
 * 
 *
 *  * // In trait OneArgAsyncTest:
 * def apply(fixture: FixtureParam): 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 the complete-lastly syntax, defined in supertrait
 * org.scalatest.CompleteLastly, which will ensure that
 * cleanup will occur whether future-producing code completes abruptly by throwing an exception, or returns
 * normally yielding a future. In the latter case, complete-lastly will register the cleanup code
 * to execute asynchronously when the future completes.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * To enable the stacking of traits that define withFixture(NoArgAsyncTest), it is a good idea to let
 * withFixture(NoArgAsyncTest) invoke the test function instead of invoking the test
 * function directly. To do so, you'll need to convert the OneArgAsyncTest to a NoArgAsyncTest. You can do that by passing
 * the fixture object to the toNoArgAsyncTest method of OneArgAsyncTest. In other words, instead of
 * writing “test(theFixture)”, you'd delegate responsibility for
 * invoking the test function to the withFixture(NoArgAsyncTest) method of the same instance by writing:
 * 
 *
 *  * withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(theFixture))
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Thus, the recommended structure of a withFixture implementation that performs cleanup looks like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = ...
 *
 *   complete {
 *     withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(theFixture)) // 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: OneArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = ...
 *
 *   withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * If you want to perform an action only for certain outcomes, you'll need to 
 * register code performing that action as a callback on the Future using
 * one of Future registration methods: onComplete, onSuccess,
 * or onFailure. Note that if a test fails, that will be treated as a
 * scala.util.Success(org.scalatest.Failure). So if you want to perform an 
 * action if a test fails, for example, you'd register the callaback using onSuccess,
 * like this:
 * 
 *
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = ...
 *
 *   val futureOutcome =
 *       withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 *
 *   futureOutcome onFailedThen { _ =>
 *     // perform action that you want to occur
 *     // only if a test fails here
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * Lastly, if you want to transform the outcome in some way in withFixture, you'll need to use either the
 * map or transform methods of Future, like this:
 * 
 * 
 *  * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest) = {
 *
 *   // Perform setup here
 *   val theFixture = ...
 *
 *   val futureOutcome =
 *       withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(theFixture)) // Invoke the test function
 *
 *   futureOutcome change { outcome =>
 *     // transform the outcome into a new outcome here
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * Note that a NoArgAsyncTest's apply method will only return a Failure if
 * the test completes abruptly with an exception (such as OutOfMemoryError) that should
 * cause the suite to abort rather than the test to fail. Thus usually you would use map
 * to transform future outcomes, not transform, so that such suite-aborting exceptions pass through
 * unchanged. The suite will abort asynchronously with any exception returned in a Failure.
 *
