ParallelTestExecution

trait ParallelTestExecution extends OneInstancePerTest

Trait that causes that the tests of any suite it is mixed into to be run in parallel if a Distributor is passed to runTests.

ScalaTest's normal approach for running suites of tests in parallel is to run different suites in parallel, but the tests of any one suite sequentially. This approach should provide sufficient distribution of the work load in most cases, but some suites may encapsulate multiple long-running tests. Such suites may dominate the execution time of the run. If so, mixing in this trait into just those suites will allow their long-running tests to run in parallel with each other, thereby helping to reduce the total time required to run an entire run.

Because this trait extends OneInstancePerTest, each test will be run its own instance of the suite's class. This trait overrides the runTests method. If no Distributor is passed to runTests, this trait's implementation simply invokes its supertrait OneInstancePerTest's implementation of runTests, which will run each test in its own instance sequentially. If a Distributor is passed, however, this traits' implementation of runTests will, for each test, wrap a new instance of the suite in a special wrapper suite that will invoke just that one test, and passes the wrapper suites to the Distributor. The thread or entity that takes a wrapper suite from the Distributor will invoke run on the wrapper suite, which will run just one test. In this way, different tests of a suite that mixes in ParallelTestExecution will run in parallel.

    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.

    Subclasses may implement 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.

    An Set of test names. If this Suite contains no tests, this method returns an empty Set.

    Although subclass and subtrait implementations of this method may return 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 implement this method and return test names in either a defined or undefined order.

  9. def withFixture (test: NoArgTest): Unit

    Runs the passed test function with a fixture established by this method.

    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 fixture.Suite.

    test

    the no-arg test function to run with a fixture

  15. def newInstance : Suite

    Construct a new instance of this Suite.

    Construct a new instance of this Suite.

    This trait's implementation of runTests invokes this method to create a new instance of this Suite for each test. This trait's implementation of this method uses reflection to call this.getClass.newInstance. This approach will succeed only if this Suite's class has a public, no-arg constructor. In most cases this is likely to be true, because to be instantiated by ScalaTest's Runner a Suite needs a public, no-arg constructor. However, this will not be true of any Suite defined as an inner class of another class or trait, because every constructor of an inner class type takes a reference to the enclosing instance. In such cases, and in cases where a Suite class is explicitly defined without a public, no-arg constructor, you will need to override this method to construct a new instance of the Suite in some other way.

    Here's an example of how you could override newInstance to construct a new instance of an inner class:

    import org.scalatest.Suite
    
    class Outer { class InnerSuite extends Suite with OneInstancePerTest { def testOne() {} def testTwo() {} override def newInstance = new InnerSuite } }
