ConfigMapWrapperSuite

org.scalatest.ConfigMapWrapperSuite
final class ConfigMapWrapperSuite(clazz: Class[_ <: Suite]) extends Suite

Wrapper Suite that passes an instance of the config map to the constructor of the wrapped Suite when run is invoked.

Recommended Usage: Trait ConfigMapWrapperSuite is primarily intended to be used with the "path" traits, which can't use the usual approaches to accessing the config map because of the eager manner in which they run tests.

Each time run is invoked on an instance of ConfigMapWrapperSuite, this suite will create a new instance of the suite to wrap, passing to the constructor the config map passed to run. This way, if the same ConfigMapWrapperSuite instance is run multiple times, each time with a different config map, an instance of the wrapped suite will be created for each config map. In addition to being passed to the wrapped suite's constructor, the config map passed to the ConfigMapWrapperSuite's run method will also be passed to the run method of the newly created wrapped suite instance.

The config map is accessible inside a Suite in many ways. It is passed to run, runNestedSuites, runTests, and runTest. It is also passed to withFixture, accessible via a method on NoArgTest and OneArgTest. It is passed to an overloaded forms of the beforeEach and afterEach methods of trait BeforeAndAfterEach, as well as overloaded forms of the beforeAll and afterAll methods of trait BeforeAndAfterAll. Tests themselves can have information taken from the config map, or the entire config map, through various means. The config map may be passed into the test via a ConfigMapFixture, for example. Class ConfigMapWrapperSuite represents one more way to get at the config map inside a suite of test: ConfigMapWrapperSuite will pass the config map to the constructor of your suite class, bringing it easily into scope for tests and helper methods alike.

Having the config map passed to the suite constructor might be more convenient in some cases, but in the case of the org.scalatest.path traits, it is necessary if a test needs information from a config map. The reason is that in a path trait, the test code is executed eagerly, before run is invoked. The results of the tests are registered when the tests are executed, and those results are merely reported once run is invoked. Thus by the time run has been invoked, it is too late to get the config map to the tests, which have already been executed. Using a ConfigMapWrapperSuite solves that problem. By passing the config map to the constructor, it is available early enough for the running tests to use it. Here's an example:

import org.scalatest._

@WrapWith(classOf[ConfigMapWrapperSuite])
class ExampleSpec(configMap: ConfigMap) extends path.FunSpec {

 describe("A widget database") {
   it("should contain consistent values") {
     val dbName = configMap("WidgetDbName") // Can access config map
     // ...
   }
 }
}

override def suiteId: String

A string ID for this Suite that is intended to be unique among all suites reported during a run.

A string ID for this Suite that is intended to be unique among all suites reported during a run.

This trait's implementation of this method returns the fully qualified name of this object's class. Each suite reported during a run will commonly be an instance of a different Suite class, and in such cases, this default implementation of this method will suffice. However, in special cases you may need to override this method to ensure it is unique for each reported suite. For example, if you write a Suite subclass that reads in a file whose name is passed to its constructor and dynamically creates a suite of tests based on the information in that file, you will likely need to override this method in your Suite subclass, perhaps by appending the pathname of the file to the fully qualified class name. That way if you run a suite of tests based on a directory full of these files, you'll have unique suite IDs for each reported suite.

The suite ID is intended to be unique, because ScalaTest does not enforce that it is unique. If it is not unique, then you may not be able to uniquely identify a particular test of a particular suite. This ability is used, for example, to dynamically tag tests as having failed in the previous run when rerunning only failed tests.

Attributes

Returns

this Suite object's ID.

Else, it throws TestFailedException with a helpful error message appended with the String obtained by invoking toString on the specified clue as the exception's detail message.

Assert that a boolean condition, described in String message, is true. If the condition is true, this method returns normally. Else, it throws TestFailedException with a helpful error message appended with the String obtained by invoking toString on the specified clue as the exception's detail message.

This method is implemented in terms of a Scala macro that will generate a more helpful error message for expressions of this form:

  • assert(a == b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a != b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a === b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a !== b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a > b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a >= b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a < b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a <= b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a startsWith "prefix", "a good clue")

  • assert(a endsWith "postfix", "a good clue")

  • assert(a contains "something", "a good clue")

  • assert(a eq b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a ne b, "a good clue")

  • assert(a > 0 && b > 5, "a good clue")

  • assert(a > 0 || b > 5, "a good clue")

  • assert(a.isEmpty, "a good clue")

  • assert(!a.isEmpty, "a good clue")

  • assert(a.isInstanceOf[String], "a good clue")

  • assert(a.length == 8, "a good clue")

  • assert(a.size == 8, "a good clue")

  • assert(a.exists(_ == 8), "a good clue")

At this time, any other form of expression will just get a TestFailedException with message saying the given expression was false. In the future, we will enhance this macro to give helpful error messages in more situations. In ScalaTest 2.0, however, this behavior was sufficient to allow the === that returns Boolean to be the default in tests. This makes === consistent between tests and production code.

Asserts that a given string snippet of code passes both the Scala parser and type checker.

You can use this to make sure a snippet of code compiles:

assertCompiles("val a: Int = 1")

Although assertCompiles is implemented with a macro that determines at compile time whether the snippet of code represented by the passed string compiles, errors (i.e., snippets of code that do not compile) are reported as test failures at runtime.

Asserts that a given string snippet of code does not pass either the Scala parser or type checker.

Often when creating libraries you may wish to ensure that certain arrangements of code that represent potential “user errors” do not compile, so that your library is more error resistant. ScalaTest's Assertions trait includes the following syntax for that purpose:

assertDoesNotCompile("val a: String = \"a string")

Although assertDoesNotCompile is implemented with a macro that determines at compile time whether the snippet of code represented by the passed string doesn't compile, errors (i.e., snippets of code that do compile) are reported as test failures at runtime.

Note that the difference between assertTypeError and assertDoesNotCompile is that assertDoesNotCompile will succeed if the given code does not compile for any reason, whereas assertTypeError will only succeed if the given code does not compile because of a type error. If the given code does not compile because of a syntax error, for example, assertDoesNotCompile will return normally but assertTypeError will throw a TestFailedException.

inline def assertThrows[T <: AnyRef](f: => Any)(implicit classTag: ClassTag[T]): Assertion

Ensure that an expected exception is thrown by the passed function value. The thrown exception must be an instance of the type specified by the type parameter of this method. This method invokes the passed function. If the function throws an exception that's an instance of the specified type, this method returns Succeeded. Else, whether the passed function returns normally or completes abruptly with a different exception, this method throws TestFailedException.

Ensure that an expected exception is thrown by the passed function value. The thrown exception must be an instance of the type specified by the type parameter of this method. This method invokes the passed function. If the function throws an exception that's an instance of the specified type, this method returns Succeeded. Else, whether the passed function returns normally or completes abruptly with a different exception, this method throws TestFailedException.

Note that the type specified as this method's type parameter may represent any subtype of AnyRef, not just Throwable or one of its subclasses. In Scala, exceptions can be caught based on traits they implement, so it may at times make sense to specify a trait that the intercepted exception's class must mix in. If a class instance is passed for a type that could not possibly be used to catch an exception (such as String, for example), this method will complete abruptly with a TestFailedException.

Also note that the difference between this method and intercept is that this method does not return the expected exception, so it does not let you perform further assertions on that exception. Instead, this method returns Succeeded, which means it can serve as the last statement in an async- or safe-style suite. It also indicates to the reader of the code that nothing further is expected about the thrown exception other than its type. The recommended usage is to use assertThrows by default, intercept only when you need to inspect the caught exception further.

Value parameters

classTag

an implicit ClassTag representing the type of the specified type parameter.

f

the function value that should throw the expected exception

Attributes

Returns

the Succeeded singleton, if an exception of the expected type is thrown

Throws
TestFailedException

Provides a A CanEqual B for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that A must be a subtype of B, given an explicit Equivalence[B].

This method is used to enable the Explicitly DSL for TypeCheckedTripleEquals by requiring an explicit Equivalance[B], but taking an implicit function that provides evidence that A is a subtype of B.

The returned Constraint's areEqual method uses the implicitly passed Equivalence[B]'s areEquivalent method to determine equality.

Provides an A CanEqual B instance for any two types A and B, enforcing the type constraint that B must be a subtype of A, given an explicit Equivalence[A].

This method is used to enable the Explicitly DSL for TypeCheckedTripleEquals by requiring an explicit Equivalance[B], but taking an implicit function that provides evidence that A is a subtype of B. For example, under TypeCheckedTripleEquals, this method (as an implicit method), would be used to compile this statement:

def closeEnoughTo1(num: Double): Boolean =
 (num === 1.0)(decided by forgivingEquality)

The returned Constraint's areEqual method uses the implicitly passed Equivalence[A]'s areEquivalent method to determine equality.

This method is overridden and made implicit by subtraits TypeCheckedTripleEquals) and overriden as non-implicit by the other subtraits in this package.

Value parameters

inline def intercept[T <: AnyRef](f: => Any)(implicit classTag: ClassTag[T]): T

Intercept and return an exception that's expected to be thrown by the passed function value. The thrown exception must be an instance of the type specified by the type parameter of this method. This method invokes the passed function. If the function throws an exception that's an instance of the specified type, this method returns that exception. Else, whether the passed function returns normally or completes abruptly with a different exception, this method throws TestFailedException.

Intercept and return an exception that's expected to be thrown by the passed function value. The thrown exception must be an instance of the type specified by the type parameter of this method. This method invokes the passed function. If the function throws an exception that's an instance of the specified type, this method returns that exception. Else, whether the passed function returns normally or completes abruptly with a different exception, this method throws TestFailedException.

Note that the type specified as this method's type parameter may represent any subtype of AnyRef, not just Throwable or one of its subclasses. In Scala, exceptions can be caught based on traits they implement, so it may at times make sense to specify a trait that the intercepted exception's class must mix in. If a class instance is passed for a type that could not possibly be used to catch an exception (such as String, for example), this method will complete abruptly with a TestFailedException.

Also note that the difference between this method and assertThrows is that this method returns the expected exception, so it lets you perform further assertions on that exception. By contrast, the assertThrows method returns Succeeded, which means it can serve as the last statement in an async- or safe-style suite. assertThrows also indicates to the reader of the code that nothing further is expected about the thrown exception other than its type. The recommended usage is to use assertThrows by default, intercept only when you need to inspect the caught exception further.

Value parameters

classTag

an implicit ClassTag representing the type of the specified type parameter.

f

the function value that should throw the expected exception

Attributes

Returns

the intercepted exception, if it is of the expected type

Throws
TestFailedException

if the passed function does not complete abruptly with an exception that's an instance of the specified type.

Throws TestPendingException to indicate a test is pending.

Throws TestPendingException to indicate a test is pending.

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, the 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.

Note: This method always completes abruptly with a TestPendingException. Thus it always has a side effect. Methods with side effects are usually invoked with parentheses, as in pending(). This method is defined as a parameterless method, in flagrant contradiction to recommended Scala style, because it forms a kind of DSL for pending tests. It enables tests in suites such as FunSuite or FunSpec to be denoted by placing "(pending)" after the test name, as in:

test("that style rules are not laws") (pending)

Readers of the code see "pending" in parentheses, which looks like a little note attached to the test name to indicate it is pending. Whereas "(pending()) looks more like a method call, "(pending)" lets readers stay at a higher level, forgetting how it is implemented and just focusing on the intent of the programmer who wrote the code.

Execute the passed block of code, and if it completes abruptly, throw TestPendingException, else throw TestFailedException.

Execute the passed block of code, and if it completes abruptly, throw TestPendingException, else throw TestFailedException.

This method can be used to temporarily change a failing test into a pending test in such a way that it will automatically turn back into a failing test once the problem originally causing the test to fail has been fixed. At that point, you need only remove the pendingUntilFixed call. In other words, a pendingUntilFixed surrounding a block of code that isn't broken is treated as a test failure. The motivation for this behavior is to encourage people to remove pendingUntilFixed calls when there are no longer needed.

This method facilitates a style of testing in which tests are written before the code they test. Sometimes you may encounter a test failure that requires more functionality than you want to tackle without writing more tests. In this case you can mark the bit of test code causing the failure with pendingUntilFixed. You can then write more tests and functionality that eventually will get your production code to a point where the original test won't fail anymore. At this point the code block marked with pendingUntilFixed will no longer throw an exception (because the problem has been fixed). This will in turn cause pendingUntilFixed to throw TestFailedException with a detail message explaining you need to go back and remove the pendingUntilFixed call as the problem orginally causing your test code to fail has been fixed.

That's a pretty tall stack trace. Here's what it looks like when you use trap:

scala> trap { x shouldEqual 13 }
res1: Throwable = org.scalatest.exceptions.TestFailedException: 12 did not equal 13

Much less clutter. Bear in mind, however, that if no exception is thrown by the passed block of code, the trap method will create a new NormalResult (a subclass of Throwable made for this purpose only) and return that. If the result was the Unit value, it will simply say that no exception was thrown:

scala> trap { x shouldEqual 12 }
res2: Throwable = No exception was thrown.

If the passed block of code results in a value other than Unit, the NormalResult's toString will print the value:

scala> trap { "Dude!" }
res3: Throwable = No exception was thrown. Instead, result was: "Dude!"

Although you can access the result value from the NormalResult, its type is Any and therefore not very convenient to use. It is not intended that trap be used in test code. The sole intended use case for trap is decluttering Scala interpreter sessions by eliminating stack traces when executing assertion and matcher expressions.
