/**
* Trait that facilitates a “behavior-driven” style of development (BDD), in which tests
* are methods, optionally nested inside singleton objects defining textual scopes.
*
*
* Recommended Usage:
* Trait Spec
allows you to define tests as methods, which saves one generated class file per test compared to style traits that represent tests as functions.
* As a result, using Spec
can be a good choice in large projects where class file generation is a concern as well as when generating tests programatically
* via a static code generator.
*
*
*
* Here's an example Spec
:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec
*
* import org.scalatest.Spec
*
* class SetSpec extends Spec {
*
* object `A Set` {
* object `when empty` {
* def `should have size 0` {
* assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
* }
*
* def `should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked` {
* intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
* Set.empty.head
* }
* }
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* A Spec
can contain scopes and tests. You define a scope
* with a nested singleton object, and a test with a method. The names of both scope objects and test methods
* must be expressed in back ticks and contain at least one space character.
*
*
*
* A space placed in backticks is encoded by the Scala compiler as $u0020
, as
* illustrated here:
*
*
*
* scala> def `an example` = ()
* an$u0020example: Unit
*
*
*
* Spec
uses reflection to discover scope objects and test methods.
* During discovery, Spec
will consider any nested singleton object whose name
* includes $u0020
a scope object, and any method whose name includes $u0020
a test method.
* It will ignore any singleton objects or methods that do not include a $u0020
character. Thus, Spec
would
* not consider the following singleton object a scope object:
*
*
*
* object `Set` { // Not discovered, because no space character
* }
*
*
*
* You can make such a scope discoverable by placing a space at the end, like this:
*
*
*
* object `Set ` { // Discovered, because of the trailing space character
* }
*
*
*
* Rather than performing this discovery during construction, when instance variables used by scope objects may as yet be uninitialized,
* Spec
performs discovery lazily, the first time a method needing the results of discovery is invoked.
* For example, methods run
, runTests
, tags
, expectedTestCount
,
* runTest
, and testNames
all ensure that scopes and tests have already been discovered prior to doing anything
* else. Discovery is performed, and the results recorded, only once for each Spec
instance.
*
*
*
* A scope names, or gives more information about, the subject (class or other entity) you are specifying
* and testing. In the previous example, `A Set`
* is the subject under specification and test. With each test name you provide a string (the test text) that specifies
* one bit of behavior of the subject, and a block of code (the body of the test method) that verifies that behavior.
*
*
*
* When you execute a Spec
, it will send Formatter
s in the events it sends to the
* Reporter
. ScalaTest's built-in reporters will report these events in such a way
* that the output is easy to read as an informal specification of the subject being tested.
* For example, were you to run SetSpec
from within the Scala interpreter:
*
*
*
* scala> new SetSpec execute
*
*
*
* You would see:
*
*
*
* A Set
* when empty
* - should have size 0
* - should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked
*
*
*
* Or, to run just the test named A Set when empty should have size 0
, you could pass that test's name, or any unique substring of the
* name, such as "size 0"
or even just "0"
. Here's an example:
*
*
*
* scala> new SetSuite execute "size 0"
* A Set
* when empty
* - should have size 0
*
*
*
* You can also pass to execute
a config map of key-value
* pairs, which will be passed down into suites and tests, as well as other parameters that configure the run itself.
* For more information on running in the Scala interpreter, see the documentation for Suite
's execute
method and the
* ScalaTest shell.
*
*
*
* The execute
method invokes a run
method that takes two
* parameters. This run
method, which actually executes the suite, will usually be invoked by a test runner, such
* as run
, tools.Runner
, a build tool, or an IDE.
*
*
*
* The test methods shown in this example are parameterless. This is recommended even for test methods with obvious side effects. In production code
* you would normally declare no-arg, side-effecting methods as empty-paren methods, and call them with
* empty parentheses, to make it more obvious to readers of the code that they have a side effect. Whether or not a test method has
* a side effect, however, is a less important distinction than it is for methods in production code. Moreover, test methods are not
* normally invoked directly by client code, but rather through reflection by running the Suite
that contains them, so a
* lack of parentheses on an invocation of a side-effecting test method would not normally appear in any client code. Given the empty
* parentheses do not add much value in the test methods case, the recommended style is to simply always leave them off.
*
*
*
* Note: The approach of using backticks around test method names to make it easier to write descriptive test names was
* inspired by the SimpleSpec
test framework, originally created by Coda Hale.
*
*
* Ignored tests
*
*
* To support the common use case of temporarily disabling a test in a Spec
, with the
* good intention of resurrecting the test at a later time, you can annotate the test method with @Ignore
.
* For example, to temporarily disable the test method with the name `should have size zero"
, just annotate
* it with @Ignore
, like this:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.ignore
*
* import org.scalatest._
*
* class SetSpec extends Spec {
*
* object `A Set` {
* object `when empty` {
* @Ignore def `should have size 0` {
* assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
* }
*
* def `should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked` {
* 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 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.spec.ignoreall
*
* import org.scalatest._
*
* @Ignore
* class SetSpec extends Spec {
*
* object `A Set` {
* object `when empty` {
* def `should have size 0` {
* assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
* }
*
* def `should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked` {
* 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 objects to Spec
'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 Spec
'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 one of its apply
methods.
* The Informer
will then pass the information to the Reporter
via an InfoProvided
event.
* Here's an example in which the Informer
returned by info
is used implicitly by the
* Given
, When
, and Then
methods of trait GivenWhenThen
:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.info
*
* import collection.mutable
* import org.scalatest._
*
* class SetSpec extends Spec with GivenWhenThen {
*
* object `A mutable Set` {
* def `should allow an element to be added` {
* 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 Spec
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, has not yet been implemented.
*
*
*
* You can mark a test as pending in Spec
by using "{ pending }
" as the body of the test method,
* like this:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.pending
*
* import org.scalatest._
*
* class SetSpec extends Spec {
*
* object `A Set` {
* object `when empty` {
* def `should have size 0` { pending }
*
* def `should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked` {
* intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
* Set.empty.head
* }
* }
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* (Note: “pending
” is the body of the test. Thus the test contains just one statement, an invocation
* of the pending
method, which throws TestPendingException
.)
* If you run this version of SetSpec
with:
*
*
*
* scala> new SetSpec execute
*
*
*
* It will run both tests, but report that test "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
*
*
* Tagging tests
*
*
* A Spec
's tests may be classified into groups by tagging them with string names. When executing
* a Spec
, groups of tests can optionally be included and/or excluded. In this
* trait's implementation, tags are indicated by annotations attached to the test method. To
* create a new tag type to use in Spec
s, simply define a new Java annotation that itself is annotated with
* the org.scalatest.TagAnnotation
annotation.
* (Currently, for annotations to be
* visible in Scala programs via Java reflection, the annotations themselves must be written in Java.) For example,
* to create tags named SlowTest
and DbTest
, you would
* write in Java:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.tagging;
* import java.lang.annotation.*;
* import org.scalatest.TagAnnotation;
*
* @TagAnnotation
* @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
* @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
* public @interface SlowTest {}
*
* @TagAnnotation
* @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
* @Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
* public @interface DbTest {}
*
*
*
* Given these annotations, you could tag Spec
tests like this:
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.tagging
*
* import org.scalatest.Spec
*
* class SetSpec extends Spec {
*
* object `A Set` {
* object `when empty` {
* @SlowTest
* def `should have size 0` {
* assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
* }
*
* @SlowTest @DbTest
* def `should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked` {
* intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
* Set.empty.head
* }
* }
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* 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 with tags listed in the
* tagsToExclude
Set
. If tagsToInclude
is defined, only tests
* with tags mentioned in the tagsToInclude
set, and not mentioned in tagsToExclude
,
* will be run.
*
*
*
* A tag annotation also allows you to tag all the tests of a Spec
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 var
s, 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.
*
*
*
* The following sections
* describe these techniques, including explaining the recommended usage
* for each. But first, here's a table summarizing the options:
*
*
*
* Technique Recommended uses
* get-fixture methods Use when you need the same mutable fixture objects in multiple tests, and don't need to clean up after.
* fixture-context objects Use when you need different combinations of mutable fixture objects in different tests, and don't need to clean up after.
* OneInstancePerTest
Use when porting JUnit tests to ScalaTest, or if you prefer JUnit's approach to test isolation: running each test in its own instance of the test class.
* withFixture(NoArgTest)
Use when you need to perform side effects at the beginning and end of all or most tests, or want to stack traits that perform such side-effects.
* loan-fixture methods Use when different tests need different fixtures that must be cleaned up afterwords.
* withFixture(OneArgTest)
Use when all or most tests need the same fixtures that must be cleaned up afterwords.
* BeforeAndAfter
Use when you need to perform the same side-effects before and/or after tests, rather than at the beginning or end of tests.
* BeforeAndAfterEach
Use when you want to stack traits that perform the same side-effects before and/or after tests, rather than at the beginning or end of tests.
*
*
*
* 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.spec.getfixture
*
* import org.scalatest.Spec
* import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
*
* class ExampleSpec extends Spec {
*
* def fixture =
* new {
* val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
* val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
* }
*
* object `Testing ` {
* def `should be easy` {
* val f = fixture
* f.builder.append("easy!")
* assert(f.builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
* assert(f.buffer.isEmpty)
* f.buffer += "sweet"
* }
*
* def `should be fun` {
* 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.spec.fixturecontext
*
* import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
* import org.scalatest.Spec
*
* class ExampleSpec extends Spec {
*
* trait Builder {
* val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
* }
*
* trait Buffer {
* val buffer = ListBuffer("ScalaTest", "is")
* }
*
* object `Testing ` {
* // This test needs the StringBuilder fixture
* def `should be productive` {
* new Builder {
* builder.append("productive!")
* assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is productive!")
* }
* }
* }
*
* object `Test code` {
* // This test needs the ListBuffer[String] fixture
* def `should be readable` {
* new Buffer {
* buffer += ("readable!")
* assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "readable!"))
* }
* }
*
* // This test needs both the StringBuilder and ListBuffer
* def `should be clear and concise` {
* 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 val
s 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.spec.oneinstancepertest
*
* import org.scalatest._
* import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
*
* class ExampleSpec extends Spec with OneInstancePerTest {
*
* val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
* val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
*
* object `Testing ` {
* def `should be easy` {
* builder.append("easy!")
* assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
* assert(buffer.isEmpty)
* buffer += "sweet"
* }
*
* def `should be fun` {
* 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.spec.noargtest
*
* import java.io.File
* import org.scalatest.Spec
*
* class ExampleSpec extends Spec {
*
* 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
* }
* }
*
* object `This test` {
* def `should succeed` {
* assert(1 + 1 === 2)
* }
*
* def `should fail` {
* 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 fail *** FAILED ***
* 2 did not equal 3 (:33)
* + Dir snapshot: hello.txt, world.txt
* - should succeed
*
*
*
* 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
.)
*
*
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.loanfixture
*
* import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap
*
* object DbServer { // Simulating a database server
* type Db = StringBuffer

* }
* }
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* 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.
*
*
*
*
* Overriding withFixture(OneArgTest)
*
*
* If all or most tests need the same fixture, you can avoid some of the boilerplate of the loan-fixture method approach by using a fixture.Suite
* and overriding withFixture(OneArgTest)
.
* Each test in a fixture.Suite
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.
*
* To enable the stacking of traits that define withFixture(NoArgTest)
, it is a good idea to let
* withFixture(NoArgTest)
invoke the test function instead of invoking the test
* function directly. To do so, you'll need to convert the OneArgTest
to a NoArgTest
. You can do that by passing
* the fixture object to the toNoArgTest
method of OneArgTest
. In other words, instead of
* writing “test(theFixture)
”, you'd delegate responsibility for
* invoking the test function to the withFixture(NoArgTest)
method of the same instance by writing:
*
* withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) ** *
* Here's a complete example: *
* ** package org.scalatest.examples.spec.oneargtest * * import org.scalatest.fixture * import java.io._ * * class ExampleSpec extends fixture.Spec { * * case class F(file: File, writer: FileWriter) * type FixtureParam = F * * def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) { * * // create the fixture * val file = File.createTempFile("hello", "world") * val writer = new FileWriter(file) * val theFixture = F(file, writer) * * try { * writer.write("ScalaTest is ") // set up the fixture * withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) // "loan" the fixture to the test * } * finally writer.close() // clean up the fixture * } * * object `Testing ` { * def `should be easy` { f: F => * f.writer.write("easy!") * f.writer.flush() * assert(f.file.length === 18) * } * * def `should be fun` { f: F => * f.writer.write("fun!") * f.writer.flush() * assert(f.file.length === 17) * } * } * } ** *
* In this example, the tests actually required two fixture objects, a File
and a FileWriter
. In such situations you can
* simply define the FixtureParam
type to be a tuple containing the objects, or as is done in this example, a case class containing
* the objects. For more information on the withFixture(OneArgTest)
technique, see the documentation for fixture.Suite
.
*
Mixing in BeforeAndAfter
*
*
* In all the shared fixture examples shown so far, the activities of creating, setting up, and cleaning up the fixture objects have been
* performed during the test. This means that if an exception occurs during any of these activities, it will be reported as a test failure.
* Sometimes, however, you may want setup to happen before the test starts, and cleanup after the test has completed, so that if an
* exception occurs during setup or cleanup, the entire suite aborts and no more tests are attempted. The simplest way to accomplish this in ScalaTest is
* to mix in trait BeforeAndAfter
. 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:
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.beforeandafter * * import org.scalatest.Spec * import org.scalatest.BeforeAndAfter * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer * * class ExampleSpec extends Spec with BeforeAndAfter { * * val builder = new StringBuilder * val buffer = new ListBuffer[String] * * before { * builder.append("ScalaTest is ") * } * * after { * builder.clear() * buffer.clear() * } * * object `Testing ` { * def `should be easy` { * builder.append("easy!") * assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!") * assert(buffer.isEmpty) * buffer += "sweet" * } * * def `should be fun` { * builder.append("fun!") * assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!") * assert(buffer.isEmpty) * } * } * } ** *
* Note that the only way before
and after
code can communicate with test code is via some side-effecting mechanism, commonly by
* reassigning instance var
s or by changing the state of mutable objects held from instance val
s (as in this example). If using
* instance var
s or mutable objects held from instance val
s you wouldn't be able to run tests in parallel in the same instance
* of the test class unless you synchronized access to the shared, mutable state. This is why ScalaTest's ParallelTestExecution
trait extends
* OneInstancePerTest
. By running each test in its own instance of the class, each test has its own copy of the instance variables, so you
* don't need to synchronize. If you mixed ParallelTestExecution
into the ExampleSuite
above, the tests would run in parallel just fine
* without any synchronization needed on the mutable StringBuilder
and ListBuffer[String]
objects.
*
* Although BeforeAndAfter
provides a minimal-boilerplate way to execute code before and after tests, it isn't designed to enable stackable
* traits, because the order of execution would be non-obvious. If you want to factor out before and after code that is common to multiple test suites, you
* should use trait BeforeAndAfterEach
instead, as shown later in the next section,
* composing fixtures by stacking traits.
*
Composing fixtures by stacking 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
:
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.composingwithfixture * * import org.scalatest._ * import collection.mutable.ListBuffer * * trait Builder extends SuiteMixin { 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 SuiteMixin { 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 Spec with Builder with Buffer { * * object `Testing ` { * def `should be easy` { * builder.append("easy!") * assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!") * assert(buffer.isEmpty) * buffer += "sweet" * } * * def `should be fun` { * 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 Spec with Buffer with Builder ** *
* And if you only need one fixture you mix in only that trait: *
* ** class Example3Spec extends Spec 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
:
*
* package org.scalatest.examples.spec.composingbeforeandaftereach * * import org.scalatest._ * 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 Spec with Builder with Buffer { * * object `Testing ` { * def `should be easy` { * builder.append("easy!") * assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!") * assert(buffer.isEmpty) * buffer += "sweet" * } * * def `should be fun` { * 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.afterEach
throws an exception.
*
* The difference between stacking traits that extend BeforeAndAfterEach
versus traits that implement withFixture
is
* that setup and cleanup code happens before and after the test in BeforeAndAfterEach
, but at the beginning and
* end of the test in withFixture
. Thus if a withFixture
method completes abruptly with an exception, it is
* considered a failed test. By contrast, if any of the beforeEach
or afterEach
methods of BeforeAndAfterEach
* complete abruptly, it is considered an aborted suite, which will result in a SuiteAborted
event.
*
Shared tests
* *
* Because Spec
represents tests as methods, you cannot share or otherwise dynamically generate tests. Instead, use static code generation
* if you want to generate tests in a Spec
. In other words, write a program that statically generates the entire source file of
* a Spec
subclass.
