This class provides much of the syntax for FixtureAsyncFreeSpec, however, it does not add
the verb methods (should, must, and can) to String.
Instead, these are added via the ShouldVerb, MustVerb, and CanVerb
traits, which FixtureAsyncFreeSpec mixes in, to avoid a conflict with implicit conversions provided
in Matchers and MustMatchers.

Returns a Alerter that during test execution will forward strings (and other objects) 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
FixtureAsyncFreeSpec 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.

assertCompiles("val a: Int = 1")

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.

Ensure that an expected exception is thrown by the passed function value.
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.

Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
This method invokes run on itself, passing in values that can be configured via the parameters to this
method, all of which have default values. This behavior is convenient when working with ScalaTest in the Scala interpreter.
Here's a summary of this method's parameters and how you can use them:
The testName parameter
If you leave testName at its default value (of null), this method will pass None to
the testName parameter of run, and as a result all the tests in this suite will be executed. If you
specify a testName, this method will pass Some(testName) to run, and only that test
will be run. Thus to run all tests in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you can write:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute()
(The above syntax actually invokes the overloaded parameterless form of execute, which calls this form with its default parameter values.)
To run just the test named "my favorite test" in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you would write:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute("my favorite test")
Or:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(testName = "my favorite test")
The configMap parameter
If you provide a value for the configMap parameter, this method will pass it to run. If not, the default value
of an empty Map will be passed. For more information on how to use a config map to configure your test suites, see
the config map section in the main documentation for this trait. Here's an example in which you configure
a run with the name of an input file:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(configMap = Map("inputFileName" -> "in.txt")
The color parameter
If you leave the color parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to print
to the standard output in color (via ansi escape characters). If you don't want color output, specify false for color, like this:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(color = false)
The durations parameter
If you leave the durations parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to
not print durations for tests and suites to the standard output. If you want durations printed, specify true for durations,
like this:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(durations = true)
The shortstacks and fullstacks parameters
If you leave both the shortstacks and fullstacks parameters unspecified, this method will configure the reporter
it passes to run to not print stack traces for failed tests if it has a stack depth that identifies the offending
line of test code. If you prefer a short stack trace (10 to 15 stack frames) to be printed with any test failure, specify true for
shortstacks:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(shortstacks = true)
For full stack traces, set fullstacks to true:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(fullstacks = true)
If you specify true for both shortstacks and fullstacks, you'll get full stack traces.
The stats parameter
If you leave the stats parameter unspecified, this method will not fire RunStarting and either RunCompleted
or RunAborted events to the reporter it passes to run.
If you specify true for stats, this method will fire the run events to the reporter, and the reporter will print the
expected test count before the run, and various statistics after, including the number of suites completed and number of tests that
succeeded, failed, were ignored or marked pending. Here's how you get the stats:
scala> (new ExampleSuite).execute(stats = true)
To summarize, this method will pass to run:
testName - None if this method's testName parameter is left at its default value of null, else Some(testName).reporter - a reporter that prints to the standard outputstopper - a Stopper whose apply method always returns falsefilter - a Filter constructed with None for tagsToInclude and Set()
for tagsToExcludeconfigMap - the configMap passed to this methoddistributor - Nonetracker - a new TrackerNote: In ScalaTest, the terms "execute" and "run" basically mean the same thing and
can be used interchangably. The reason this method isn't named run is that it takes advantage of
default arguments, and you can't mix overloaded methods and default arguments in Scala. (If named run,
this method would have the same name but different arguments than the main run method that
takes seven arguments. Thus it would overload and couldn't be used with default argument values.)
Design note: This method has two "features" that may seem unidiomatic. First, the default value of testName is null.
Normally in Scala the type of testName would be Option[String] and the default value would
be None, as it is in this trait's run method. The null value is used here for two reasons. First, in
ScalaTest 1.5, execute was changed from four overloaded methods to one method with default values, taking advantage of
the default and named parameters feature introduced in Scala 2.8.
To not break existing source code, testName needed to have type String, as it did in two of the overloaded
execute methods prior to 1.5. The other reason is that execute has always been designed to be called primarily
from an interpeter environment, such as the Scala REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop). In an interpreter environment, minimizing keystrokes is king.
A String type with a null default value lets users type suite.execute("my test name") rather than
suite.execute(Some("my test name")), saving several keystrokes.
The second non-idiomatic feature is that shortstacks and fullstacks are all lower case rather than
camel case. This is done to be consistent with the Shell, which also uses those forms. The reason
lower case is used in the Shell is to save keystrokes in an interpreter environment. Most Unix commands, for
example, are all lower case, making them easier and quicker to type. In the ScalaTest
Shell, methods like shortstacks, fullstacks, and nostats, etc., are
designed to be all lower case so they feel more like shell commands than methods.

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.

Runs this suite of tests.
Runs this suite of tests.
If testName is None, this trait's implementation of this method
calls these two methods on this object in this order:
runNestedSuitesrunTestsIf testName is defined, then this trait's implementation of this method
calls runTests, but does not call runNestedSuites. This behavior
is part of the contract of this method. Subclasses that override run must take
care not to call runNestedSuites if testName is defined. (The
OneInstancePerTest trait depends on this behavior, for example.)
Subclasses and subtraits that override this run method can implement them without
invoking either the runTests or runNestedSuites methods, which
are invoked by this trait's implementation of this method. It is recommended, but not required,
that subclasses and subtraits that override run in a way that does not
invoke runNestedSuites also override runNestedSuites and make it
final. Similarly it is recommended, but not required,
that subclasses and subtraits that override run in a way that does not
invoke runTests also override runTests (and runTest,
which this trait's implementation of runTests calls) and make it
final. The implementation of these final methods can either invoke the superclass implementation
of the method, or throw an UnsupportedOperationException if appropriate. The
reason for this recommendation is that ScalaTest includes several traits that override
these methods to allow behavior to be mixed into a Suite. For example, trait
BeforeAndAfterEach overrides runTestss. In a Suite
subclass that no longer invokes runTests from run, the
BeforeAndAfterEach trait is not applicable. Mixing it in would have no effect.
By making runTests final in such a Suite subtrait, you make
the attempt to mix BeforeAndAfterEach into a subclass of your subtrait
a compiler error. (It would fail to compile with a complaint that BeforeAndAfterEach
is trying to override runTests, which is a final method in your trait.)

Run zero to many of this Suite's nested Suites.
Run zero to many of this Suite's nested Suites.
If the passed distributor is None, this trait's
implementation of this method invokes run on each
nested Suite in the List obtained by invoking nestedSuites.
If a nested Suite's run
method completes abruptly with an exception, this trait's implementation of this
method reports that the Suite aborted and attempts to run the
next nested Suite.
If the passed distributor is defined, this trait's implementation
puts each nested Suite
into the Distributor contained in the Some, in the order in which the
Suites appear in the List returned by nestedSuites, passing
in a new Tracker obtained by invoking nextTracker on the Tracker
passed to this method.
Implementations of this method are responsible for ensuring SuiteStarting events
are fired to the Reporter before executing any nested Suite, and either SuiteCompleted
or SuiteAborted after executing any nested Suite.

NullArgumentException if any passed parameter is null.
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 FreeSpec's tests.
Run zero to many of this FreeSpec'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 with passed args.
This method takes an args that contains 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 via passed in args.

The Succeeded singleton.
You can use succeed to solve a type error when an async test
does not end in either Future[Assertion] or Assertion.
Because Assertion is a type alias for Succeeded.type,
putting succeed at the end of a test body (or at the end of a
function being used to map the final future of a test body) will solve
the type error.
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.

This trait's
implementation of this method returns the simple name of this object's class. This
trait's implementation of runNestedSuites calls this method to obtain a

A Map whose keys are String tag names to which tests in this FixtureAsyncFreeSpec belong, and values

A Map whose keys are String tag names to which tests in this FixtureAsyncFreeSpec belong, and values
the Set of test names that belong to each tag. If this FixtureAsyncFreeSpec 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
methods test and ignore.
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 @Ignore.

An immutable Set of test names.
An immutable Set of test names. If this FixtureAsyncFreeSpec 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.

Returns a user friendly string for this suite, composed of the
simple name of the class (possibly simplified further by removing dollar signs if added by the Scala interpeter) and, if this suite
contains nested suites, the result of invoking toString on each
of the nested suites, separated by commas and surrounded by parentheses.

Executes the block of code passed as the second parameter, and, if it
completes abruptly with a ModifiableMessage exception,
prepends the "clue" string passed as the first parameter to the beginning of the detail message
of that thrown exception, then rethrows it. If clue does not end in a white space
character, one space will be added
between it and the existing detail message (unless the detail message is
not defined).
This method allows you to add more information about what went wrong that will be reported when a test fails. Here's an example:
withClue("(Employee's name was: " + employee.name + ")") {
intercept[IllegalArgumentException] {
employee.getTask(-1)
}
}
If an invocation of intercept completed abruptly with an exception, the resulting message would be something like:
(Employee's name was Bob Jones) Expected IllegalArgumentException to be thrown, but no exception was thrown
NullArgumentException if the passed clue is null
Run the passed test function in the context of a fixture established by this method.
Run the passed test function in the context of a fixture established by this method.
This method should set up the fixture needed by the tests of the
current suite, invoke the test function, and if needed, register a callback
on the resulting FutureOutcome to perform any clean
up needed after the test completes. Because the NoArgAsyncTest function
passed to this method takes no parameters, preparing the fixture will require
side effects, such as reassigning instance vars in this Suite or initializing
a globally accessible external database. If you want to avoid reassigning instance vars
you can use FixtureAsyncTestSuite.
This trait's implementation of runTest invokes this method for each test, passing
in a NoArgAsyncTest whose apply method will execute the code of the test
and returns its result.
This trait's implementation of this method simply invokes the passed NoArgAsyncTest function.

A sister class to
org.scalatest.freespec.AsyncFreeSpecthat can pass a fixture object into its tests.FixtureAsyncFunSpecin situations for whichAsyncFreeSpecwould be a good choice, when all or most tests need the same fixture objects that must be cleaned up afterwards. Note:FixtureAsyncFreeSpecis intended for use in special situations, with classAsyncFreeSpecused for general needs. For more insight into whereFixtureAsyncFreeSpecfits in the big picture, see thewithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest)subsection of the Shared fixtures section in the documentation for classAsyncFunSpec.Class
FixtureAsyncFreeSpecbehaves similarly to classorg.scalatest.freespec.AsyncFreeSpec, except that tests may have a fixture parameter. The type of the fixture parameter is defined by the abstractFixtureParamtype, which is a member of this class. This class also contains an abstractwithFixturemethod. ThiswithFixturemethod takes aOneArgAsyncTest, which is a nested trait defined as a member of this class.OneArgAsyncTesthas anapplymethod that takes aFixtureParam. Thisapplymethod is responsible for running a test. This class'srunTestmethod delegates the actual running of each test towithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest), passing in the test code to run via theOneArgAsyncTestargument. ThewithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest)method (abstract in this class) is responsible for creating the fixture argument and passing it to the test function.Subclasses of this class must, therefore, do three things differently from a plain old
org.scalatest.freespec.AsyncFunSpec:FixtureParamwithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest)methodIf the fixture you want to pass into your tests consists of multiple objects, you will need to combine them into one object to use this class. One good approach to passing multiple fixture objects is to encapsulate them in a case class. Here's an example:
To enable the stacking of traits that define
withFixture(NoArgAsyncTest), it is a good idea to letwithFixture(NoArgAsyncTest)invoke the test function instead of invoking the test function directly. To do so, you'll need to convert theOneArgAsyncTestto aNoArgAsyncTest. You can do that by passing the fixture object to thetoNoArgAsyncTestmethod ofOneArgAsyncTest. In other words, instead of writing “test(theFixture)”, you'd delegate responsibility for invoking the test function to thewithFixture(NoArgAsyncTest)method of the same instance by writing:Here's a complete example:
package org.scalatest.examples.asyncfreespec.oneargasynctest import org.scalatest._ import scala.concurrent.Future import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext // Defining actor messages sealed abstract class StringOp case object Clear extends StringOp case class Append(value: String) extends StringOp case object GetValue class StringActor { // Simulating an actor private final val sb = new StringBuilder def !(op: StringOp): Unit = synchronized { op match { case Append(value) => sb.append(value) case Clear => sb.clear() } } def ?(get: GetValue.type)(implicit c: ExecutionContext): Future[String] = Future { synchronized { sb.toString } } } class ExampleSpec extends freespec.FixtureAsyncFreeSpec { type FixtureParam = StringActor def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest): FutureOutcome = { val actor = new StringActor complete { actor ! Append("ScalaTest is ") // set up the fixture withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(actor)) } lastly { actor ! Clear // ensure the fixture will be cleaned up } } "Testing" - { "should be easy" in { actor => actor ! Append("easy!") val futureString = actor ? GetValue futureString map { s => assert(s == "ScalaTest is easy!") } } "should be fun" in { actor => actor ! Append("fun!") val futureString = actor ? GetValue futureString map { s => assert(s == "ScalaTest is fun!") } } } }If a test fails, the future returned by the
OneArgAsyncTestfunction will result in an org.scalatest.Failed wrapping the exception describing the failure. To ensure clean up happens even if a test fails, you should invoke the test function and do the cleanup usingcomplete-lastly, as shown in the previous example. Thecomplete-lastlysyntax, defined inCompleteLastly, which is extended byAsyncTestSuite, ensures the second, cleanup block of code is executed, whether the the first block throws an exception or returns a future. If it returns a future, the cleanup will be executed when the future completes.Sharing fixtures across classes
If multiple test classes need the same fixture, you can define the
FixtureParamandwithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest)implementations in a trait, then mix that trait into the test classes that need it. For example, if your application requires a database and your integration tests use that database, you will likely have many test classes that need a database fixture. You can create a "database fixture" trait that creates a database with a unique name, passes the connector into the test, then removes the database once the test completes. This is shown in the following example:package org.scalatest.examples.fixture.asyncfreespec.sharing import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap import org.scalatest._ import DbServer._ import java.util.UUID.randomUUID import scala.concurrent.Future object DbServer { // Simulating a database server type Db = StringBuffer private val databases = new ConcurrentHashMap[String, Db] def createDb(name: String): Db = { val db = new StringBuffer databases.put(name, db) db } def removeDb(name: String) { databases.remove(name) } } trait DbFixture { this: FixtureAsyncTestSuite => type FixtureParam = Db // Allow clients to populate the database after // it is created def populateDb(db: Db) {} def withFixture(test: OneArgAsyncTest): FutureOutcome = { val dbName = randomUUID.toString val db = createDb(dbName) // create the fixture complete { populateDb(db) // setup the fixture withFixture(test.toNoArgAsyncTest(db)) // "loan" the fixture to the test } lastly { removeDb(dbName) // ensure the fixture will be cleaned up } } } class ExampleSpec extends freespec.FixtureAsyncFreeSpec with DbFixture { override def populateDb(db: Db) { // setup the fixture db.append("ScalaTest is ") } "Testing" - { "should be easy" in { db => Future { db.append("easy!") assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!") } } "should be fun" in { db => Future { db.append("fun!") assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!") } } // This test doesn't need a Db "code should be clear" in { () => Future { val buf = new StringBuffer buf.append("ScalaTest code is ") buf.append("clear!") assert(buf.toString === "ScalaTest code is clear!") } } } }Often when you create fixtures in a trait like
DbFixture, you'll still need to enable individual test classes to "setup" a newly created fixture before it gets passed into the tests. A good way to accomplish this is to pass the newly created fixture into a setup method, likepopulateDbin the previous example, before passing it to the test function. Classes that need to perform such setup can override the method, as doesExampleSuite.If a test doesn't need the fixture, you can indicate that by providing a no-arg instead of a one-arg function, as is done in the third test in the previous example, “
test code should be clear”. In other words, instead of starting your function literal with something like “db =>”, you'd start it with “() =>”. For such tests,runTestwill not invokewithFixture(OneArgAsyncTest). It will instead directly invokewithFixture(NoArgAsyncTest).Both examples shown above demonstrate the technique of giving each test its own "fixture sandbox" to play in. When your fixtures involve external side-effects, like creating files or databases, it is a good idea to give each file or database a unique name as is done in these examples. This keeps tests completely isolated, allowing you to run them in parallel if desired. You could mix
ParallelTestExecutioninto either of theseExampleSuiteclasses, and the tests would run in parallel just fine.
