Because trait Suite mixes in Assertions, this implicit conversion will always be
available by default in ScalaTest Suites. This is the only implicit conversion that is in scope by default in every
ScalaTest Suite. Other implicit conversions offered by ScalaTest, such as those that support the matchers DSL
or invokePrivate, must be explicitly invited into your test code, either by mixing in a trait or importing the
members of its companion object. The reason ScalaTest requires you to invite in implicit conversions (with the exception of the
implicit conversion for === operator) is because if one of ScalaTest's implicit conversions clashes with an
implicit conversion used in the code you are trying to test, your program won't compile. Thus there is a chance that if you
are ever trying to use a library or test some code that also offers an implicit conversion involving a === operator,
you could run into the problem of a compiler error due to an ambiguous implicit conversion. If that happens, you can turn off
the implicit conversion offered by this convertToEqualizer method simply by overriding the method in your
Suite subclass, but not marking it as implicit:
// In your Suite subclass override def convertToEqualizer(left: Any) = new Equalizer(left)

Note: In ScalaTest, the terms "execute" and "run" basically mean the same thing and
can be used interchangably. The reason this convenience method and its three overloaded forms
aren't named run
is because junit.framework.TestCase declares a run method
that takes no arguments but returns a junit.framework.TestResult. That
run method would not overload with this method if it were named run,
because it would have the same parameters but a different return type than the one
defined in TestCase. To facilitate integration with JUnit 3, therefore,
these convenience "run" methods are named execute. In particular, this allows trait
org.scalatest.junit.JUnit3Suite to extend both org.scalatest.Suite and
junit.framework.TestCase, which enables the creating of classes that
can be run with either ScalaTest or JUnit 3.

Intercept and return an exception that's expected to

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.

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 Spec
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:
runNestedSuites(report, stopper, tagsToInclude, tagsToExclude, configMap, distributor)runTests(testName, report, stopper, tagsToInclude, tagsToExclude, configMap)If 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.)

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

If the passed distributor is defined, this trait's implementation

Suites appear in the List returned by nestedSuites, passing

passed to this method.
Implementations of this method are responsible for ensuring SuiteStarting events

This method takes a testName parameter that optionally specifies a test to invoke.
If testName is defined, 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 methodreporter - 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 Map passed to this method, or one that wraps and delegates to itThis method takes a Filter, which encapsulates an optional 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 run.
If tagsToInclude is None, all tests will be run
except those those belonging to tags listed in the tagsToExclude Set. If tagsToInclude is defined, only tests
belonging to tags mentioned in the tagsToInclude Set, and not mentioned in the tagsToExcludeSet
will be run. However, if testName is defined, 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. This trait's implementation
behaves this way, and it is part of the general contract of this method, so all overridden forms of this method should behave
this way as well. For more information on test tags, see the main documentation for this trait and for class Filter.
Note that this means that even if a test is marked as ignored, for example a test method in a Suite annotated with
org.scalatest.Ignore, if that test name is passed as testName to runTest, it will be invoked
despite the Ignore annotation.
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 run.
(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 run.)
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 Filter.
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 itIf a test is marked with the org.scalatest.Ignore tag, implementations
of this method are responsible for ensuring a TestIgnored event is fired for that test
and that runTest is not called for that test.

and suiteAborted methods of the Reporter.

A Map whose keys are String tag names with which tests in this Suite are marked, and
whose values are the Set of test names marked with each tag.
A Map whose keys are String tag names with which tests in this Suite are marked, and
whose values are the Set of test names marked with each tag. If this Suite contains no tags, this
method returns an empty Map.
This trait's implementation of this method uses Java reflection to discover any Java annotations attached to its test methods. The
fully qualified name of each unique annotation that extends TagAnnotation is considered a tag. This trait's
implementation of this method, therefore, places one key/value pair into to the
Map for each unique tag annotation name discovered through reflection. The mapped value for each tag name key will contain
the test method name, as provided via the testNames method.
Subclasses may override this method to define and/or discover tags in a custom manner, but overriding method implementations
should never return an empty Set as a value. If a tag has no tests, its name should not appear as a key in the
returned Map.
Note, the TagAnnotation annotation was introduced in ScalaTest 1.0, when "groups" were renamed
to "tags." In 1.0 and 1.1, the TagAnnotation will continue to not be required by an annotation on a Suite
method. Any annotation on a Suite method will be considered a tag until 1.2, to give users time to add
TagAnnotations on any tag annotations they made prior to the 1.0 release. From 1.2 onward, only annotations
themselves annotated by TagAnnotation will be considered tag annotations.
An Set of test names.
An Set of test names. If this Suite contains no tests, this method returns an empty Set.
This trait's implementation of this method uses Java reflection to discover all public methods whose name starts with "test",
which take either nothing or a single Informer as parameters. For each discovered test method, it assigns a test name
comprised of just the method name if the method takes no parameters, or the method name plus (Informer) if the
method takes a Informer. Here are a few method signatures and the names that this trait's implementation assigns them:
def testCat() {} // test name: "testCat"
def testCat(Informer) {} // test name: "testCat(Informer)"
def testDog() {} // test name: "testDog"
def testDog(Informer) {} // test name: "testDog(Informer)"
def test() {} // test name: "test"
def test(Informer) {} // test name: "test(Informer)"
This trait's implementation of this method returns an immutable Set of all such names, excluding the name
testNames. The iterator obtained by invoking elements on this
returned Set will produce the test names in their natural order, as determined by String's
compareTo method.
This trait's implementation of runTests invokes this method
and calls runTest for each test name in the order they appear in the returned Set's iterator.
Although this trait's implementation of this method returns a Set whose iterator produces String
test names in a well-defined order, the contract of this method does not required a defined order. Subclasses are free to
override this method and return test names in an undefined order, or in a defined order that's different from String's
natural order.
Subclasses may override this method to produce test names in a custom manner. One potential reason to override testNames is
to run tests in a different order, for example, to ensure that tests that depend on other tests are run after those other tests.
Another potential reason to override is allow tests to be defined in a different manner, such as methods annotated @Test annotations
(as is done in JUnitSuite and TestNGSuite) or test functions registered during construction (as is
done in FunSuite and Spec).

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
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, perform any clean
up needed after the test completes. Because the NoArgTest 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 FixtureSuite.
This trait's implementation of runTest invokes this method for each test, passing
in a NoArgTest whose apply method will execute the code of the test.
This trait's implementation of this method simply invokes the passed NoArgTest function.
