ResultOfStringPassedToVerb

abstract class ResultOfStringPassedToVerb(val verb: String, val rest: String)

Abstract class that supports test registration in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec.

For example, this class enables syntax such as the following pending test registration in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec:

"A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" is (pending)
                                        ^

For example, this class enables syntax such as the following tagged test registration in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec:

"A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" taggedAs(SlowTet) in { ... }
                                        ^

This class also indirectly enables syntax such as the following regular test registration in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec:

"A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" in { ... }
                                        ^

However, this class does not declare any methods named in, because the type passed to in differs in a FlatSpec and a fixture.FlatSpec. A fixture.FlatSpec needs two in methods, one that takes a no-arg test function and another that takes a one-arg test function (a test that takes a Fixture as its parameter). By constrast, a FlatSpec needs only one in method that takes a by-name parameter. As a result, FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec each provide an implicit conversion from ResultOfStringPassedToVerb to a type that provides the appropriate in methods.

Abstract methods

def is(fun: => PendingStatement): Unit

Supports the registration of pending tests in a FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec.

Supports the registration of pending tests in a FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec.

This method supports syntax such as the following:

"A Stack" must "pop values in last-in-first-out order" is (pending)
                                                      ^

For examples of pending test registration, see the Pending tests section in the main documentation for trait FlatSpec.

def taggedAs(firstTestTag: Tag, otherTestTags: Tag*): ResultOfTaggedAsInvocation

Supports the registration of tagged tests in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec.

Supports the registration of tagged tests in FlatSpec and fixture.FlatSpec.

This method supports syntax such as the following:

"A Stack" must "pop values in last-in-first-out order" taggedAs(SlowTest) in { ... }
                                                      ^

For examples of tagged test registration, see the Tagging tests section in the main documentation for trait FlatSpec.
