Exceptional

The names of the product elements

The name of the type

Creates an Exceptional instance given the passed Throwable.

If the passed Throwable is an instance of TestCanceledException, this method will return Canceled containing that TestCanceledException. Otherwise, it returns a Failed containing the Throwable.

For example, trait SeveredStackTraces uses this factory method to sever the stack trace of the exception contained in either a Failed and Canceled like this:

abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest): Outcome = {
 super.withFixture(test) match {
   case Exceptional(e: StackDepth) => Exceptional(e.severedAtStackDepth)
   case o => o
 }
}

Extractor enabling patterns that match both Failed and Canceled outcomes, extracting the contained exception.

For example, trait SeveredStackTraces uses this extractor to sever the stack trace of the exception contained in either a Failed and Canceled like this:

abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest): Outcome = {
 super.withFixture(test) match {
   case Exceptional(e: StackDepth) => Exceptional(e.severedAtStackDepth)
   case o => o
 }
}
