ScalaTest At A Glance

Style - FlatSpec | FunSuite | FunSpec | WordSpec | FreeSpec | RefSpec | PropSpec | FeatureSpec

FlatSpec is a good first step for teams wishing to move from xUnit to BDD. Its structure is flat like xUnit, so simple and familiar, but the test names must be written in a specification style: "X should Y," "A must B," etc.

import org.scalatest._
import flatspec._

class SetSpec extends AnyFlatSpec {
  override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) = { // Define a shared fixture
    // Shared setup (run at beginning of each test)
    try test()
    finally {
      // Shared cleanup (run at end of each test)
    }
  }
  // Define the first test for a subject, in this case: "An empty Set"
  "An empty Set" should "have size 0" in { // Name the subject, write 'should', then the rest of the test name
    assert(Set.empty.size == 0)            // (Can use 'must' or 'can' instead of 'should')
  }
  it should "produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked" in { // Define another test for the same
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {                                // subject with 'it'
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
  ignore should "be empty" in { // To ignore a test, change 'it' to 'ignore'...
    assert(Set.empty.isEmpty)
  }
  it should "not be non-empty" ignore { // ...or change 'in' to 'ignore'
    assert(!Set.empty.nonEmpty)
  }
  "A non-empty Set" should "have the correct size" in { // Describe another subject
    assert(Set(1, 2, 3).size == 3)
  }
  // 'it' now refers to 'A non-empty Set'
  it should "return a contained value when head is invoked" is (pending) // Define a pending test
  import tagobjects.Slow
  it should "be non-empty" taggedAs(Slow) in { // Tag a test
    assert(Set(1, 2, 3).nonEmpty)
  }
}

// Can also pass fixtures into tests with FixtureAnyFlatSpec
class StringSpec extends FixtureAnyFlatSpec {
  type FixtureParam = String // Define the type of the passed fixture object
  override def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) = {
    // Shared setup (run before each test), including...
    val fixture = "a fixture object" // ...creating a fixture object
    try test(fixture) // Pass the fixture into the test
    finally {
      // Shared cleanup (run at end of each test)
    }
  }
  "The passed fixture" can "be used in the test" in { s => // Fixture passed in as s
    assert(s == "a fixture object")
  }
}

@DoNotDiscover // Disable discovery of a test class
class InvisibleSpec extends AnyFlatSpec { /*code omitted*/ }

@Ignore // Ignore all tests in a test class
class IgnoredSpec extends AnyFlatSpec { /*code omitted*/ }

import tags.Slow
@Slow // Mark all tests in a test class with a tag
class SlowSpec extends AnyFlatSpec { /*code omitted*/ }
Note: The remainder of this page is identical no matter which style trait you use.
Assertions
import org.scalatest._
import Assertions._

Matchers - Equality and identity
import org.scalatest.Matchers._
def incr(i: Int) = i + 1
val result = incr(2)
result should equal (3) // By default, calls left == right, except for arrays
result should be (3)    // Calls left == right, except for arrays

Array(1, 2) should be (Array(1, 2))    // by calling left.deep == right.deep
Array(1, 2) should === (Array(1, 2))

result shouldEqual 3 // Alternate forms for equal and be
result shouldBe 3    // that don't require parentheses

// The === syntax can give you a type error for suspicious equality comparisons

result should === ("three") // Fails to compile with error message: types String and Int
                            // do not adhere to the type constraint selected for the === and
                            // !== operators; the missing implicit parameter is of type

                            //      greeting should === (3)
                            //               ^

// The equal matcher and === syntax compare with an implicit Equality[L],
// where L is the left hand type (i.e., the type of greeting below)
val greeting = "Hi"
greeting should equal ("hi") // Both fail with error message: "[H]i" did not equal "[h]i"
greeting should === ("hi")

import org.scalactic._ // Can provide a custom Equality[L] explicitly
import Explicitly._
import StringNormalizations._
greeting should equal ("hi") (after being lowerCased) // Both succeed, because 'after being lowercased'
(greeting should === ("hi")) (after being lowerCased) // defines an Equality[String] that ignores case

implicit val strEq = lowerCased.toEquality // Can provide a custom Equality[L] implicitly
greeting should equal ("hi")               // Succeeds because equal the implicit Equality[String]
greeting should === ("hi")                 // (defined as strEq) that ignores case

greeting should not equal "bye"            // equal and be are negated with not
greeting should not be "such sweet sorrow"
greeting should !== ("ho")                 // === is negated as !==

val list = List(1, 2, 3)              // Ensure two objects have the same identity
val ref1 = list
val ref2 = list
ref1 should be theSameInstanceAs ref2 // Calls left eq right
Matchers - Object's class
import org.scalatest.Matchers._
class Tiger
val tiger = new Tiger
tiger shouldBe a [Tiger]       // Ensure an object is an instance of a specified class or trait

val tigerList = List(tiger)    // Because type parameters are erased on the JVM, you must use
tigerList shouldBe a [List[_]] // an underscore for any type parameters when using this syntax

Matchers - Expected exceptions
import org.scalatest.Matchers._
val s = "hai"
an [IndexOutOfBoundsException] should be thrownBy {     // Ensure a particular exception type is thrown
  s.charAt(-1)
}
val caught = the [IndexOutOfBoundsException] thrownBy { // Capturing an expected exception in a variable
  s.charAt(-1)
}
the [IndexOutOfBoundsException] thrownBy {              // Inspecting an expected exception
  s.charAt(-1)
} should have message ("String index out of range: -1")
Matchers - Length and size

result should have length 3 // Works for any type T for which an implicit Length[T] is available, including String,
                            // Array, scala.collection.GenSeq, java.util.List, and any object with length field or
                            // method or getLength method; the length value can be Int or Long.

result should have size 3   // Works for any type T for which an implicit Size[T] is available, including String, Array,

                            // size field or method or getSize method; the size value can be Int or Long.

Matchers - Strings and regular expressions

string should endWith ("world")                 // ends with the given substring

val num = 8
num should (be >= 1 and be <= 10)               // one way to ensure a value is within a range or tolerance.

val seven = 7
seven should be (6 +- 2)                        // another way to verify a range
7.0 should be (6.9 +- 0.2)                      // works for both integral and floating point types

Matchers - Checking boolean properties with be
import org.scalatest.Matchers._                 // access a boolean property dynamically (via reflection)
