/**
 * Trait that facilitates a “behavior-driven” style of development (BDD), in which tests
 * are combined with text that specifies the behavior the tests verify.
 * 
 * 

 * Recommended Usage:
 * For teams coming from specs or specs2, WordSpec will feel familiar, and is often the most natural way to port specsN tests to 
 * ScalaTest. WordSpec is very prescriptive in how text must be written, so a good fit for teams who want a high degree of discipline 
 * enforced upon their specification text.
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Trait WordSpec is so named because you specification text is structured by placing words after strings.
 * Here's an example WordSpec:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   "A Set" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "have size 0" in {
 *         assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
 *       }
 *       
 *       "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In a WordSpec you write a one (or more) sentence specification for each bit of behavior you wish to
 * specify and test. Each specification sentence has a
 * "subject," which is sometimes called the system under test (or SUT). The 
 * subject is entity being specified and tested and also serves as the subject of the sentences you write for each test. A subject
 * can be followed by one of three verbs, should, must, or can, and a block. Here are some
 * examples:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * "A Stack" should {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * "An Account" must {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * "A ShippingManifest" can {
 *   // ...
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * You can describe a subject in varying situations by using a when clause. A when clause
 * follows the subject and precedes a block. In the block after the when, you place strings that describe a situation or a state
 * the subject may be in using a string, each followed by a verb. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * "A Stack" when {
 *   "empty" should {
 *     // ...
 *   }
 *   "non-empty" should {
 *     // ...
 *   }
 *   "full" should {
 *     // ...
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * When you are ready to finish a sentence, you write a string followed by in and a block that
 * contains the code of the test. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class StackSpec extends WordSpec {
 *   "A Stack" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "be empty" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "complain on peek" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "complain on pop" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *     }
 *     "full" should {
 *       "be full" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *       "complain on push" in {
 *         // ...
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Running the above StackSpec in the interpreter would yield:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * scala> new StackSpec execute
 * StackSpec:
 * A Stack
 *   when empty
 *   - should be empty
 *   - should complain on peek
 *   - should complain on pop
 *   when full
 *   - should be full
 *   - should complain on push
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that the output does not exactly match the input in an effort to maximize readability.
 * Although the WordSpec code is nested, which can help you eliminate any repeated phrases
 * in the specification portion of your code, the output printed moves when and should
 * down to the beginning of the next line.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Sometimes you may wish to eliminate repeated phrases inside the block following a verb. Here's an example
 * in which the phrase "provide an and/or operator, which" is repeated:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class AndOrSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" should {
 *     "provide an and operator, which returns silently when evaluating true and true" in {}
 *     "provide an and operator, which throws a TestFailedException when evaluating true and false" in {}
 *     "provide an and operator, which throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and true" in {}
 *     "provide an and operator, which throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and false" in {}
 *     "provide an or operator, which returns silently when evaluating true or true" in {}
 *     "provide an or operator, which returns silently when evaluating true or false" in {}
 *     "provide an or operator, which returns silently when evaluating false or true" in {}
 *     "provide an or operator, which throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false or false" in {}
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * In such situations you can place which clauses inside the verb clause, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class AndOrSpec extends WordSpec {
 *
 *   "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" should {
 *     "provide an and operator," which {
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true and true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating true and false" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and false" in {}
 *     }
 *     "provide an or operator," which {
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true or true" in {}
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true or false" in {}
 *       "returns silently when evaluating false or true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false or false" in {}
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Running the above AndOrSpec in the interpreter would yield:
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * scala> new AndOrSpec execute
 * AndOrSpec:
 * The ScalaTest Matchers DSL
 *   should provide an and operator, which
 *   - returns silently when evaluating true and true
 *   - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating true and false
 *   - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and true
 *   - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and false
 *   should provide an or operator, which
 *   - returns silently when evaluating true or true
 *   - returns silently when evaluating true or false
 *   - returns silently when evaluating false or true
 *   - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false or false
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * Note that unlike when and should/must/can, a which appears
 * in the output right where you put it in the input, at the end of the line, to maximize readability.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of each string contained in a block, you can eliminate
 * that repetition by using an after word. An after word is a word or phrase that you can place
 * after when, a verb, or
 * which. For example, in the previous WordSpec, the word "provide" is repeated
 * at the beginning of each string inside the should block. You can factor out this duplication
 * like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class AndOrSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *    def provide = afterWord("provide")
 * 
 *   "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" should provide {
 *     "an and operator," which {
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true and true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating true and false" in {}
 *       "that throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and false" in {}
 *     }
 *     "an or operator," which {
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true or true" in {}
 *       "returns silently when evaluating true or false" in {}
 *       "returns silently when evaluating false or true" in {}
 *       "throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false or false" in {}
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * 
 *  

 *  Running the above version of AndOrSpec with the provide after word in the interpreter would give you:
 *  
 * 
 * 
 * scala> new AndOrSpec execute
 * AndOrSpec:
 * The ScalaTest Matchers DSL
 *   should provide
 *     an and operator, which
 *     - returns silently when evaluating true and true
 *     - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating true and false
 *     - that throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and true
 *     - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false and false
 *     an or operator, which
 *     - returns silently when evaluating true or true
 *     - returns silently when evaluating true or false
 *     - returns silently when evaluating false or true
 *     - throws a TestFailedException when evaluating false or false
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Once you've defined an after word, you can place it after when, a verb
 * (should, must, or can), or
 * which. (You can't place one after in or is, the
 * words that introduce a test.) Here's an example that has after words used in all three
 * places:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class ScalaTestGUISpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   def theUser = afterWord("the user")
 *   def display = afterWord("display")
 *   def is = afterWord("is")
 * 
 *   "The ScalaTest GUI" when theUser {
 *     "clicks on an event report in the list box" should display {
 *       "a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box" in {}
 *       "the details for the event in the details area" in {}
 *       "a rerun button," which is {
 *         "enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable" in {}
 *         "disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable" in {}
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Running the previous WordSpec in the Scala interpreter would yield:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new ScalaTestGUISpec execute
 * ScalaTestGUISpec:
 * The ScalaTest GUI
 *   when the user clicks on an event report in the list box
 *     should display
 *     - a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box
 *     - the details for the event in the details area
 *       a rerun button, which is
 *       - enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable
 *       - disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable
 * 
 *
 * 

 * A WordSpec'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 WordSpec is
 * in its registration phase. Any attempt to register a test after the WordSpec has
 * entered its ready phase, i.e., after run has been invoked on the WordSpec,
 * will be met with a thrown TestRegistrationClosedException. The recommended style
 * of using WordSpec 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.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * See also: Getting started with WordSpec.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note: Trait WordSpec is in part inspired by class org.specs.Specification, designed by
 * Eric Torreborre for the specs framework.
 * 
 *
 * 
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, WordSpec 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:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.ignore
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec {
 *   
 *   "A Set" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "have size 0" ignore {
 *         assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
 *       }
 *       
 *       "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this version of SetSpec with:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new SetSpec execute
 * 
 *
 * 

 * It will run only the second test and report that the first test was ignored:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * A Set
 *   when empty
 *   - should have size 0 !!! IGNORED !!!
 *   - should should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you wish to temporarily ignore an entire suite of tests, you can annotate the test class with @Ignore, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.ignoreall
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * import org.scalatest.Ignore
 * 
 * @Ignore 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec {
 *   
 *   "A Set" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "have size 0" in {
 *         assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
 *       }
 *       
 *       "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * When you mark a test class with a tag annotation, ScalaTest will mark each test defined in that class with that tag.
 * Thus, marking the SetSpec in the above example with the @Ignore tag annotation means that both tests
 * in the class will be ignored. If you run the above SetSpec in the Scala interpreter, you'll see:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new SetSpec execute
 * SetSpec:
 * A Set
 *   when empty
 *   - should have size 0 !!! IGNORED !!!
 *   - should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked !!! IGNORED !!!
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that marking a test class as ignored won't prevent it from being discovered by ScalaTest. Ignored classes
 * will be discovered and run, and all their tests will be reported as ignored. This is intended to keep the ignored
 * class visible, to encourage the developers to eventually fix and “un-ignore” it. If you want to
 * prevent a class from being discovered at all, use the DoNotDiscover annotation instead.
 * 
 *
 *
 * 
Informers
 *
 * 

 * One of the parameters to WordSpec's 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 WordSpec'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.
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * 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 WordSpec
 * to pass such information to the reporter. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.info
 * 
 * import collection.mutable
 * import org.scalatest._
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec with GivenWhenThen {
 *   
 *   "A mutable Set" should {
 *     "allow an element to be added" in {
 *       Given("an empty mutable Set")
 *       val set = mutable.Set.empty[String]
 * 
 *       When("an element is added")
 *       set += "clarity"
 * 
 *       Then("the Set should have size 1")
 *       assert(set.size === 1)
 * 
 *       And("the Set should contain the added element")
 *       assert(set.contains("clarity"))
 * 
 *       info("That's all folks!")
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this WordSpec from the interpreter, you will see the following output:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new SetSpec execute
 * A mutable Set
 * - should allow an element to be added
 *   + Given an empty mutable Set 
 *   + When an element is added 
 *   + Then the Set should have size 1 
 *   + And the Set should contain the added element 
 *   + That's all folks!
 * 
 *
 * 
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 WordSpec like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.pending
 * 
 * import org.scalatest._
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   "A Set" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "have size 0" in (pending)
 *       
 *       "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you run this version of SetSpec with:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new SetSpec execute
 * 
 *
 * 

 * It will run both tests but report that should have size 0 is pending. You'll see:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * A Set
 *   when empty
 *   - should have size 0 (pending)
 *   - should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked
 * 
 * 
 * 

 * 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 WordSpec:
 * 
 *
 * 
 *  "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 WordSpec's tests may be classified into groups by tagging them with string names.
 * As with any suite, when executing a WordSpec, groups of tests can
 * optionally be included and/or excluded. To tag a WordSpec's tests,
 * you pass objects that extend class org.scalatest.Tag to methods
 * that register tests. Class Tag takes one parameter, a string name.  If you have
 * created tag annotation interfaces as described in the Tag documentation, then you
 * will probably want to use tag names on your test functions that match. To do so, simply 
 * pass the fully qualified names of the tag interfaces to the Tag constructor. For example, if you've
 * defined tag annotation interfaces with fully qualified names, com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest and
 * com.mycompany.tags.DbTest, then you could
 * create matching tags for WordSpecs like this:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.tagging
 * 
 * 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 place WordSpec tests into groups like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class SetSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   "A Set" when {
 *     "empty" should {
 *       "have size 0" taggedAs(SlowTest) in {
 *         assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
 *       }
 *       
 *       "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" taggedAs(SlowTest, DbTest) in {
 *         intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
 *           Set.empty.head
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * This code marks both tests with the com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest tag, 
 * and the second test 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.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * It is recommended, though not required, that you create a corresponding tag annotation when you
 * create a Tag object. A tag annotation allows you to tag all the tests of a WordSpec in
 * one stroke by annotating the class. For more information and examples, see the
 * documentation for class Tag.
 * 
 *
 * 
Shared fixtures
 *
 * 

 * A test fixture is composed of the objects and other artifacts (files, sockets, database
 * connections, etc.) tests use to do their work.
 * When multiple tests need to work with the same fixtures, it is important to try and avoid
 * duplicating the fixture code across those tests. The more code duplication you have in your
 * tests, the greater drag the tests will have on refactoring the actual production code.
 * ScalaTest recommends several techniques to eliminate such code duplication, and provides several
 * traits to help. Each technique is geared towards helping you reduce code duplication without introducing
 * instance vars, shared mutable objects, or other dependencies between tests. Eliminating shared
 * mutable state across tests will make your test code easier to reason about and more amenable for parallel
 * test execution.
 * 
 *

 * 
Calling get-fixture methods
 *
 * 

 * If you need to create the same mutable fixture objects in multiple tests, and don't need to clean them up after using them, the simplest approach is to write one or
 * more get-fixture methods. A get-fixture method returns a new instance of a needed fixture object (or an holder object containing
 * multiple fixture objects) each time it is called. You can call a get-fixture method at the beginning of each
 * test that needs the fixture, storing the returned object or objects in local variables. Here's an example:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.getfixture
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   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"
 *     }
 *   
 *     "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.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * If you need to configure fixture objects differently in different tests, you can pass configuration into the get-fixture method. For example, if you could pass
 * in an initial value for a mutable fixture object as a parameter to the get-fixture method.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Instantiating fixture-context objects 
 *
 * 

 * An alternate technique that is especially useful when different tests need different combinations of fixture objects is to define the fixture objects as instance variables
 * of fixture-context objects whose instantiation forms the body of tests. Like get-fixture methods, fixture-context objects are only
 * appropriate if you don't need to clean up the fixtures after using them.
 * 
 *
 * To use this technique, you define instance variables intialized with fixture objects in traits and/or classes, then in each test instantiate an object that
 * contains just the fixture objects needed by the test. Traits allow you to mix together just the fixture objects needed by each test, whereas classes
 * allow you to pass data in via a constructor to configure the fixture objects. Here's an example in which fixture objects are partitioned into two traits
 * and each test just mixes together the traits it needs:
 * 

 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.fixturecontext
 * 
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   trait Builder {
 *     val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
 *   }
 * 
 *   trait Buffer {
 *     val buffer = ListBuffer("ScalaTest", "is")
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" should {
 *     // This test needs the StringBuilder fixture
 *     "be productive" in new Builder {
 *       builder.append("productive!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is productive!")
 *     }
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Test code" should {
 *     // This test needs the ListBuffer[String] fixture
 *     "be readable" in new Buffer {
 *       buffer += ("readable!")
 *       assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "readable!"))
 *     }
 * 
 *     // This test needs both the StringBuilder and ListBuffer
 *     "be clear and concise" in new Builder with Buffer {
 *       builder.append("clear!")
 *       buffer += ("concise!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
 *       assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "concise!"))
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Mixing in OneInstancePerTest
 *
 * 

 * If every test method requires the same set of
 * mutable fixture objects, and none require cleanup, 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:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.oneinstancepertest
 * 
 * import org.scalatest._
 * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
 * 
 * class ExampleSuite extends WordSpec 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"
 *     }
 * 
 *     "be fun" in {
 *       builder.append("fun!")
 *       assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
 *       assert(buffer.isEmpty)
 *     } 
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * One way to think of OneInstancePerTest is that the entire Suite instance is like a fixture-context object,
 * but with the difference that the test code doesn't run during construction as it does with the real fixture-context object technique. Because this trait emulates JUnit's manner
 * of running tests, this trait can be helpful when porting JUnit tests to ScalaTest. The primary intended use of OneInstancePerTest is to serve as a supertrait for
 * ParallelTestExecution and the path traits, but you can also mix it in
 * directly to help you port JUnit tests to ScalaTest or if you prefer JUnit's approach to test isolation.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Overriding withFixture(NoArgTest)
 *
 * 

 * Although the get-fixture method, fixture-context object, and OneInstancePerTest approaches take care of setting up a fixture at the beginning of each
 * test, they don't address the problem of cleaning up a fixture at the end of the test. If you just need to perform a side-effect at the beginning or end of
 * a test, and don't need to actually pass any fixture objects into the test, you can override withFixture(NoArgTest), one of ScalaTest's
 * lifecycle methods defined in trait Suite.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Trait Suite's implementation of runTest passes a no-arg test function to withFixture(NoArgTest). It is withFixture's
 * responsibility to invoke that test function. Suite's implementation of withFixture simply
 * invokes the function, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * // Default implementation in trait Suite
 * protected def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *   test()
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * You can, therefore, override withFixture to perform setup before and/or 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, because the exception that causes a test to fail will propagate through withFixture back
 * to runTest. (In other words, if the test fails, the test function invoked by withFixture will throw an exception.)
 * 
 *
 * 

 * 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)”, like this:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * // Your implementation
 * override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 *   // Perform setup
 *   try super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
 *   finally {
 *     // Perform cleanup
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Here's an example in which withFixture(NoArgTest) is used to take a snapshot of the working directory if a test fails, and 
 * and send that information to the reporter:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * package org.scalatest.examples.wordspec.noargtest
 * 
 * import java.io.File
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
 * 
 *     try super.withFixture(test)
 *     catch {
 *       case e: Exception =>
 *         val currDir = new File(".")
 *         val fileNames = currDir.list()
 *         info("Dir snapshot: " + fileNames.mkString(", "))
 *         throw e
 *     }
 *   }
 * 
 *   "This test" should {
 *     "succeed" in {
 *       assert(1 + 1 === 2)
 *     }
 * 
 *     "fail" in {
 *       assert(1 + 1 === 3)
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Running this version of ExampleSuite in the interpreter in a directory with two files, hello.txt and world.txt
 * would give the following output:
 * 
 *
 * 
 * scala> new ExampleSuite execute
 * ExampleSuite:
 * This test
 * - should succeed
 * - should fail *** FAILED ***
 *   2 did not equal 3 (:33)
 *   + Dir snapshot: hello.txt, world.txt 
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Note that the NoArgTest passed to withFixture, in addition to
 * an apply method that executes the test, also includes the test name and the config
 * map passed to runTest. Thus you can also use the test name and configuration objects in your withFixture
 * implementation.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * 
Calling loan-fixture methods
 *
 * 

 * If you need to both pass a fixture object into a test and perform cleanup at the end of the test, you'll need to use the loan pattern.
 * If different tests need different fixtures that require cleanup, you can implement the loan pattern directly by writing loan-fixture methods.
 * A loan-fixture method takes a function whose body forms part or all of a test's code. It creates a fixture, passes it to the test code by invoking the
 * function, then cleans up the fixture after the function returns.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * The following example shows three tests that use two fixtures, a database and a file. Both require cleanup after, so each is provided via a
 * loan-fixture method. (In this example, the database is simulated with a StringBuffer.)
 * 
 *
 * 
 * import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap
 * 
 * object DbServer { // Simulating a database server
 *   type Db = StringBuffer
 *   private val databases = new ConcurrentHashMap[String, Db]
 *   def createDb(name: String): Db = {
 *     val db = new StringBuffer
 *     databases.put(name, db)
 *     db
 *   }
 *   def removeDb(name: String) {
 *     databases.remove(name)
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
 * import DbServer._
 * import java.util.UUID.randomUUID
 * import java.io._
 * 
 * class ExampleSpec extends WordSpec {
 * 
 *   def withDatabase(testCode: Db => Any) {
 *     val dbName = randomUUID.toString
 *     val db = createDb(dbName) // create the fixture
 *     try {
 *       db.append("ScalaTest is ") // perform setup
 *       testCode(db) // "loan" the fixture to the test
 *     }
 *     finally removeDb(dbName) // clean up the fixture
 *   }
 * 
 *   def withFile(testCode: (File, FileWriter) => Any) {
 *     val file = File.createTempFile("hello", "world") // create the fixture
 *     val writer = new FileWriter(file)
 *     try {
 *       writer.write("ScalaTest is ") // set up the fixture
 *       testCode(file, writer) // "loan" the fixture to the test
 *     }
 *     finally writer.close() // clean up the fixture
 *   }
 * 
 *   "Testing" should {
 *     // This test needs the file fixture
 *     "be productive" in withFile { (file, writer) =>
 *       writer.write("productive!")
 *       writer.flush()
 *       assert(file.length === 24)
 *     }
 *   }
 *   
 *   "Test code" should {
 *     // This test needs the database fixture
 *     "be readable" in withDatabase { db =>
 *       db.append("readable!")
 *       assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is readable!")
 *     }
 * 
 *     // This test needs both the file and the database
 *     "be clear and concise" in withDatabase { db =>
 *       withFile { (file, writer) => // loan-fixture methods compose
 *         db.append("clear!")
 *         writer.write("concise!")
 *         writer.flush()
 *         assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
 *         assert(file.length === 21)
 *       }
 *     }
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 

 * As demonstrated by the last test, loan-fixture methods compose. Not only do loan-fixture methods allow you to
 * give each test the fixture it needs, they allow you to give a test multiple fixtures and clean everything up afterwords.
 * 
 *
 * 

 * Also demonstrated in this example is the technique of giving each test its own "fixture sandbox" to play in. When your fixtures
 * involve external side-effects, like creating files or databases, it is a good idea to give each file or database a unique name as is
 * done in this example. This keeps tests completely isolated, allowing you to run them in parallel if desired.

* This method transforms a block of code into a ResultOfAfterWordApplication, which * is accepted by when, should, must, can, and which * methods. For more information, see the main documentation for trait WordSpec. *

* If you are repeating a word or phrase at the beginning of each string inside * a block, you can "move the word or phrase" out of the block with an after word. * You create an after word by passing the repeated word or phrase to the afterWord method. * Once created, you can place the after word after when, a verb * (should, must, or can), or * which. (You can't place one after in or is, the * words that introduce a test.) Here's an example that has after words used in all three * places: *

   * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
   * 
   * class ScalaTestGUISpec extends WordSpec {
   * 
   *   def theUser = afterWord("the user")
   *   def display = afterWord("display")
   *   def is = afterWord("is")
   * 
   *   "The ScalaTest GUI" when theUser {
   *     "clicks on an event report in the list box" should display {
   *       "a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box" in {}
   *       "the details for the event in the details area" in {}
   *       "a rerun button" which is {
   *         "enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable" in {}
   *         "disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable" in {}
   *       }
   *     }
   *   }
   * }
   * 

* Running the previous WordSpec in the Scala interpreter would yield: *

   * scala> (new ScalaTestGUISpec).execute()
   * The ScalaTest GUI (when the user clicks on an event report in the list box) 
   * - should display a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box
   * - should display the details for the event in the details area
   * - should display a rerun button that is enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable
   * - should display a rerun button that is disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable
   * 

* For example, this method enables syntax such as the following: *

   * "A Stack" should { ...
   *           ^
   * 

* This function is passed as an implicit parameter to a should method * provided in ShouldVerb, a must method * provided in MustVerb, and a can method * provided in CanVerb. When invoked, this function registers the * subject and executes the block. *

* For example, this method enables syntax such as the following: *

   * def provide = afterWord("provide")
   *
   * "The ScalaTest Matchers DSL" can provide { ... }
   *                              ^
   * 

* This function is passed as an implicit parameter to a should method * provided in ShouldVerb, a must method * provided in MustVerb, and a can method * provided in CanVerb. When invoked, this function registers the * subject and executes the block. *

* This trait's implementation returns tags that were passed as strings contained in Tag objects passed to * methods test and ignore. *

* In addition, this trait's implementation will also auto-tag tests with class level annotations. * For example, if you annotate @Ignore at the class level, all test methods in the class will be auto-annotated with @Ignore. *

* This method takes a testName parameter that optionally specifies a test to invoke. * If testName is Some, this trait's implementation of this method * invokes runTest on this object, passing in: *

*
• testName - the String value of the testName Option passed * to this method
*
• reporter - the Reporter passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*
• stopper - the Stopper passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*
• configMap - the configMap passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*

* This method takes a Set of tag names that should be included (tagsToInclude), and a Set * that should be excluded (tagsToExclude), when deciding which of this Suite's tests to execute. * If tagsToInclude is empty, all tests will be executed * except those those belonging to tags listed in the tagsToExclude Set. If tagsToInclude is non-empty, only tests * belonging to tags mentioned in tagsToInclude, and not mentioned in tagsToExclude * will be executed. However, if testName is Some, tagsToInclude and tagsToExclude are essentially ignored. * Only if testName is None will tagsToInclude and tagsToExclude be consulted to * determine which of the tests named in the testNames Set should be run. For more information on trait tags, see the main documentation for this trait. *

* If testName is None, this trait's implementation of this method * invokes testNames on this Suite to get a Set of names of tests to potentially execute. * (A testNames value of None essentially acts as a wildcard that means all tests in * this Suite that are selected by tagsToInclude and tagsToExclude should be executed.) * For each test in the testName Set, in the order * they appear in the iterator obtained by invoking the elements method on the Set, this trait's implementation * of this method checks whether the test should be run based on the tagsToInclude and tagsToExclude Sets. * If so, this implementation invokes runTest, passing in: *

*
• testName - the String name of the test to run (which will be one of the names in the testNames Set)
*
• reporter - the Reporter passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*
• stopper - the Stopper passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*
• configMap - the configMap passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
*

* This trait's implementation of this method will return a set that contains the names of all registered tests. The set's * iterator will return those names in the order in which the tests were registered. Each test's name is composed * of the concatenation of the text of each surrounding describer, in order from outside in, and the text of the * example itself, with all components separated by a space. For example, consider this WordSpec: *

   * import org.scalatest.WordSpec
   *
   * class StackSpec {
   *   "A Stack" when {
   *     "not empty" must {
   *       "allow me to pop" in {}
   *     }
   *     "not full" must {
   *       "allow me to push" in {}
   *     }
   *   }
   * }
   * 

* Invoking testNames on this WordSpec will yield a set that contains the following * two test name strings: *

   * "A Stack (when not empty) must allow me to pop"
   * "A Stack (when not full) must allow me to push"
   * 

* This field enables syntax such as the following: *

   * behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
   * ^
   * 

* For more information and examples of the use of behave, see the Shared tests section * in the main documentation for this trait. *
