package org.scalatest.verb
import org.scalatest._
/**
* Provides an implicit conversion that adds should methods to String
* to support the syntax of FlatSpec, WordSpec, org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec,
* and org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec.
*
*
* For example, this trait enables syntax such as the following test registration in FlatSpec
* and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec:
*
*
*
* "A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" in { ... }
* ^
*
*
*
* It also enables syntax such as the following shared test registration in FlatSpec
* and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec:
*
*
*
* "A Stack (with one item)" should behave like nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed)
* ^
*
*
*
* In addition, it supports the registration of subject descriptions in WordSpec
* and org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec, such as:
*
*
*
* "A Stack (when empty)" should { ...
* ^
*
*
*
* And finally, it also supportds the registration of subject descriptions with after words
* in WordSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec. For example:
*
*
*
* def provide = afterWord("provide")
*
* "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" should provide {
* ^
*
*
*
* The reason this implicit conversion is provided in a separate trait, instead of being provided
* directly in FlatSpec, WordSpec, org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec, and
* org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec, is because an implicit conversion provided directly would conflict
* with the implicit conversion that provides should methods on String
* in the ShouldMatchers trait. By contrast, there is no conflict with
* the separate ShouldVerb trait approach, because:
*
*
*
* FlatSpec, WordSpec, org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec, and org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec
* mix in ShouldVerb directly, andShouldMatchers extends ShouldVerb, overriding the
* convertToStringShouldWrapper implicit conversion function.
*
*
* So whether or not
* a FlatSpec, WordSpec, org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec, or org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec
* mixes in ShouldMatchers, there will only be one
* implicit conversion in scope that adds should methods to Strings.
*
*
*
* Also, because the class of the result of the overriding convertToStringShouldWrapper
* implicit conversion method provided in ShouldMatchers extends this trait's
* StringShouldWrapperForVerb class, the four uses of should provided here
* are still available. These four should are in fact available to any class
* that mixes in ShouldMatchers, but each takes an implicit parameter that is provided
* only in FlatSpec and org.scalatest.fixture.FlatSpec, or WordSpec and
* org.scalatest.fixture.WordSpec.
