/**
* Trait that when mixed into a suite class establishes a time limit for its tests.
*
*
* This trait overrides withFixture, wrapping a super.withFixture(test) call
* in a failAfter invocation, specifying a timeout obtained by invoking timeLimit
* and an Interruptor by invoking defaultTestInterruptor:
*
*
*
* failAfter(timeLimit) {
* super.withFixture(test)
* } (defaultTestInterruptor)
*
*
*
* Note that the failAfter method executes the body of the by-name passed to it using the same
* thread that invoked failAfter. This means that the same thread will run the withFixture method
* as well as each test, so no extra synchronization is required. A second thread is used to run a timer, and if the timeout
* expires, that second thread will attempt to interrupt the main test thread via the defaultTestInterruptor.
*
*
*
* The timeLimit field is abstract in this trait. Thus you must specify a time limit when you use it.
* For example, the following code specifies that each test must complete within 200 milliseconds:
*
*
*
* import org.scalatest.FunSpec
* import org.scalatest.concurrent.TimeLimitedTests
* import org.scalatest.time.SpanSugar._
*
* class ExampleSpec extends FunSpec with TimeLimitedTests {
*
* // Note: You may need to either write 200.millis or (200 millis), or
* // place a semicolon or blank line after plain old 200 millis, to
* // avoid the semicolon inference problems of postfix operator notation.
* val timeLimit = 200 millis
*
* describe("A time-limited test") {
* it("should succeed if it completes within the time limit") {
* Thread.sleep(100)
* }
* it("should fail if it is taking too darn long") {
* Thread.sleep(300)
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* If you run the above ExampleSpec, the second test will fail with the error message:
*
*
*
* The test did not complete within the specified 200 millisecond time limit.
*
*
*
* The failAfter method uses an Interruptor to attempt to interrupt the main test thread if the timeout
* expires. The default Interruptor returned by the defaultTestInterruptor method is a
* ThreadInterruptor, which calls interrupt on the main test thread. If you wish to change this
* interruption strategy, override defaultTestInterruptor to return a different Interruptor. For example,
* here's how you'd change the default to DoNotInterrupt, a very patient interruption strategy that does nothing to
* interrupt the main test thread:
*
*
*
* import org.scalatest.FunSpec
* import org.scalatest.concurrent.TimeLimitedTests
* import org.scalatest.time.SpanSugar._
*
* class ExampleSpec extends FunSpec with TimeLimitedTests {
*
* val timeLimit = 200 millis
*
* override val defaultTestInterruptor = DoNotInterrupt
*
* describe("A time-limited test") {
* it("should succeed if it completes within the time limit") {
* Thread.sleep(100)
* }
* it("should fail if it is taking too darn long") {
* Thread.sleep(300)
* }
* }
* }
*
*
*
* Like the previous incarnation of ExampleSuite, the second test will fail with an error message that indicates
* a timeout expired. But whereas in the previous case, the Thread.sleep would be interrupted after 200 milliseconds,
* in this case it is never interrupted. In the previous case, the failed test requires a little over 200 milliseconds to run.
* In this case, because the sleep(300) is never interrupted, the failed test requires a little over 300 milliseconds
* to run.
*
