BeforeAndAfter

trait BeforeAndAfter extends AbstractSuite

Trait that can be mixed into suites that need code executed before and after running each test. This trait facilitates a style of testing in which mutable fixture objects held in instance variables are replaced or reinitialized before each test or suite. Here's an example:

import org.scalatest._
import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class MySuite extends FunSuite with BeforeAndAfter {

// Fixtures as reassignable variables and mutable objects var sb: StringBuilder = _ val lb = new ListBuffer[String]

before { sb = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ") lb.clear() }

def testEasy() { sb.append("easy!") assert(sb.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!") assert(lb.isEmpty) lb += "sweet" }

def testFun() { sb.append("fun!") assert(sb.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!") assert(lb.isEmpty) } }

Because this trait invokes super.runTest to run each test, you will need to mix it in after a core suite trait to get the desired behavior. For example, this won't compile, because BeforeAndAfter is "super" to FunSuite:

class MySuite extends BeforeAndAfter with FunSuite

You'd need to turn it around, so that FunSuite is "super" to BeforeAndAfter, like this:

class MySuite extends FunSuite with BeforeAndAfter

The before and after methods can each only be called once per Suite, and cannot be invoked after run has been invoked.

Note: The advantage this trait has over BeforeAndAfterEach is that its syntax is more concise. The main disadvantage is that it is not stackable, whereas BeforeAndAfterEach is. I.e., you can write several traits that extend BeforeAndAfterEach and provide beforeEach methods that include a call to super.beforeEach, and mix them together in various combinations. By contrast, only one call to the before registration function is allowed in a suite or spec that mixes in BeforeAndAfter. In addition, BeforeAndAfterEach allows you to access the config map in its beforeEach and afterEach methods, whereas BeforeAndAftergives you no access to the config map.

    Registers code to be executed after each of this suite's tests.

    This trait's implementation of runTest executes the code passed to this method after running each test. Thus the code passed to this method can be used to tear down a test fixture needed by each test.

  9. def asInstanceOf [T0] : T0

    This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    This method is used to cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expressionList(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

    returns

    the receiver object.

  12. def eq (arg0: AnyRef) : Boolean

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    This method is used to test whether the argument (arg0) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on non-null instances of AnyRef: * It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(x) returns true. * It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, x.eq(y) returns true if and only if y.eq(x) returns true. * It is transitive: for any non-null instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.eq(y) returns true and y.eq(z) returns true, then x.eq(z) returns true.

    Additionally, the eq method has three other properties. * It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false. * For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. * null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for reference equality.

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

    definition classes: AnyRef
  13. def equals (arg0: Any) : Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation]: * It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true. * It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true. * It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  17. def hashCode () : Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

    returns

    the hash code value for the object.

  18. def isInstanceOf [T0] : Boolean

    This method is used to test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the test result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested typed.

    Run a test surrounded by calls to the code passed to before and after, if any.

    This trait's implementation of this method ("this method") invokes the function registered with before, if any, before running each test and the function registered with after, if any, after running each test. It runs each test by invoking super.runTest, passing along the five parameters passed to it.

    If any invocation of the function registered with before completes abruptly with an exception, this method will complete abruptly with the same exception. If any call tosuper.runTest completes abruptly with an exception, this method will complete abruptly with the same exception, however, before doing so, it will invoke the function registered with after, if any. If the function registered with afteralso completes abruptly with an exception, this method will nevertheless complete abruptly with the exception previously thrown by super.runTest. If super.runTest returns normally, but the function registered with after completes abruptly with an exception, this method will complete abruptly with the exception thrown by the function registered with after.

    Runs the passed test function with 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.
