Returns an Alerter that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked while this AsyncFreeSpec is being executed, such as from inside a test function, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Supports shared test registration in AsyncFreeSpecs.

This field enables syntax such as the following:

behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
^

For more information and examples of the use of <cod>behave, see the Shared tests section in the main documentation for this trait.

Implicitly converts Strings to FreeSpecStringWrapper, which enables methods in, is, taggedAs and ignore, as well as the dash operator (-), to be invoked on Strings.

Returns an Informer that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked from inside a scope, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked from inside a test function, it will record the information and forward it to the current reporter only after the test completed, as recordedEvents of the test completed event, such as TestSucceeded. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Returns a Documenter that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked from inside a scope, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked from inside a test function, it will record the information and forward it to the current reporter only after the test completed, as recordedEvents of the test completed event, such as TestSucceeded. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Returns a Notifier that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked while this AsyncFreeSpec is being executed, such as from inside a test function, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

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 documentation for testNames for an example.)

Run zero to many of this AsyncFreeSpec's tests.

This method takes a testName parameter that optionally specifies a test to invoke. If testName is Some, this trait's implementation of this method invokes runTest on this object, passing in:

• testName - the String value of the testName Option passed to this method
• reporter - the Reporter passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
• stopper - the Stopper passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
• configMap - the configMap passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it

This method takes a Set 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 Sets. 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 it
• stopper - the Stopper passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it
• configMap - the configMap passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to it

A Map whose keys are String names of tagged tests and whose associated values are the Set of tags for the test. If this AsyncFreeSpec 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. If this AsyncFreeSpec 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 AsyncFreeSpec:

import org.scalatest.freespec.AsyncFreeSpec

class StackSpec extends AsyncFreeSpec {
  "A Stack" - {
    "when not empty" - {
      "must allow me to pop" in {}
    }
    "when not full" - {
      "must allow me to push" in {}
    }
  }
}

Invoking testNames on this AsyncFreeSpec 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 full must allow me to push"

The styleName lifecycle method has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of ScalaTest.

This method was used to support the chosen styles feature, which was deactivated in 3.1.0. The internal modularization of ScalaTest in 3.2.0 will replace chosen styles as the tool to encourage consistency across a project. We do not plan a replacement for styleName.
