This class enables syntax such as the following registration of an ignored test:

to prevent changing is

This class is used via an implicit conversion (named convertToInAndIgnoreMethods

from ResultOfStringPassedToVerb
. The ResultOfStringPassedToVerb
class
does not declare any methods named in
, because the
type passed to in
differs in a AnyFlatSpec

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

needs
only one in
method that takes a by-name parameter. As a result,
AnyFlatSpec

each provide an implicit conversion
from ResultOfStringPassedToVerb
to a type that provides the appropriate
in
methods.

Run a test.
Run a test. This trait's implementation runs the test registered with the name specified by
testName
. Each test's name is a concatenation of the text of all describers surrounding a test,
from outside in, and the test's spec text, with one space placed between each item. (See the documenation
for testNames
for an example.)

Run zero to many of this AnyFlatSpec

This method takes a testName
parameter that optionally specifies a test to invoke.
If testName
is Some

invokes runTest
on this object, passing in:
testName
- the String
value of the testName

- the Stopper
passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to itconfigMap
- the configMap

of tag names that should be included (tagsToInclude
), and a Set
that should be excluded (tagsToExclude
), when deciding which of this Suite
's tests to execute.
If tagsToInclude
is empty, all tests will be executed
except those those belonging to tags listed in the tagsToExclude
Set
. If tagsToInclude
is non-empty, only tests
belonging to tags mentioned in tagsToInclude
, and not mentioned in tagsToExclude
will be executed. However, if testName
is Some
, tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
are essentially ignored.
Only if testName
is None
will tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
be consulted to
determine which of the tests named in the testNames
Set
should be run. For more information on trait tags, see the main documentation for this trait.
If testName
is None
, this trait's implementation of this method
invokes testNames
on this Suite
to get a Set
of names of tests to potentially execute.
(A testNames
value of None
essentially acts as a wildcard that means all tests in
this Suite
that are selected by tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
should be executed.)
For each test in the testName
Set
, in the order
they appear in the iterator obtained by invoking the elements
method on the Set
, this trait's implementation
of this method checks whether the test should be run based on the tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
Set
s.
If so, this implementation invokes runTest
, passing in:
testName
- the String
name of the test to run (which will be one of the names in the testNames
Set
)reporter
- the Reporter
passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to itstopper
- the Stopper
passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to itconfigMap
- the configMap
passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to itan optional name of one test to execute. If None
, all relevant tests should be executed.
I.e., None
acts like a wildcard that means execute all relevant tests in this AnyFlatSpec
.

Supports the shorthand form of shared test registration.
Supports the shorthand form of shared test registration.
For example, this method enables syntax such as the following in:

This function is passed as an implicit parameter to a should
method
provided in ShouldVerb
, a must

For example, this method enables syntax such as the following:
"A Stack (when empty)" should "be empty" in { ... } ^
This function is passed as an implicit parameter to a should
method
provided in ShouldVerb
, a must
method
provided in MustVerb
, and a can
method
provided in CanVerb
. When invoked, this function registers the
subject description (the first parameter to the function) and returns a ResultOfStringPassedToVerb
initialized with the verb and rest parameters (the second and third parameters to
the function, respectively).
A Map
whose keys are String
names of tagged tests and whose associated values are
the Set
of tags for the test.
A Map
whose keys are String
names of tagged tests and whose associated values are
the Set
of tags for the test. If this AnyFlatSpec
contains no tags, this method returns an empty Map
.
This trait's implementation returns tags that were passed as strings contained in Tag
objects passed to
taggedAs
.
In addition, this trait's implementation will also auto-tag tests with class level annotations.
For example, if you annotate @Ignore
at the class level, all test methods in the class will be auto-annotated with
org.scalatest.Ignore
.
An immutable Set
of test names.
An immutable Set
of test names. If this AnyFlatSpec
contains no tests, this method returns an
empty Set
.
This trait's implementation of this method will return a set that contains the names of all registered tests. The set's
iterator will return those names in the order in which the tests were registered. Each test's name is composed
of the concatenation of the text of each surrounding describer, in order from outside in, and the text of the
example itself, with all components separated by a space. For example, consider this AnyFlatSpec
:
import org.scalatest.flatspec.AnyFlatSpec class StackSpec extends AnyFlatSpec { "A Stack (when not empty)" must "allow me to pop" in {} it must "not be empty" in {} "A Stack (when not full)" must "allow me to push" in {} it must "not be full" in {} }
Invoking testNames
on this AnyFlatSpec
will yield a set that contains the following
two test name strings:
"A Stack (when not empty) must allow me to pop" "A Stack (when not empty) must not be empty" "A Stack (when not full) must allow me to push" "A Stack (when not full) must not be full"
