BeWord

final class BeWord extends AnyRef

This class is part of the ScalaTest matchers DSL. Please see the documentation for Matchers or MustMatchers for an overview of the matchers DSL.

Class BeWord contains an apply method that takes a Symbol, which uses reflection to find and access a Boolean property and determine if it is true. If the symbol passed is 'empty, for example, the apply method will use reflection to look for a public Java field named "empty", a public method named "empty", or a public method named "isEmpty". If a field, it must be of type Boolean. If a method, it must take no parameters and return Boolean. If multiple candidates are found, the apply method will select based on the following algorithm:

Field	Method	"is" Method	Result
			Throws `TestFailedException`, because no candidates found
		`isEmpty()`	Invokes `isEmpty()`
	`empty()`		Invokes `empty()`
	`empty()`	`isEmpty()`	Invokes `empty()` (this can occur when `BeanProperty` annotation is used)
`empty`			Accesses field `empty`
`empty`		`isEmpty()`	Invokes `isEmpty()`
`empty`	`empty()`		Invokes `empty()`
`empty`	`empty()`	`isEmpty()`	Invokes `empty()` (this can occur when `BeanProperty` annotation is used)

def <[T](right: T)(implicit arg0: Ordering[T]): Matcher[T]
This method enables the following syntax:
This method enables the following syntax:
```
result should be < (7)
                 ^
```
Note that the less than operator will be invoked on be in this expression, not on a result of passing be to should, as with most other operators in the matchers DSL, because the less than operator has a higher precedence than should. Thus in the above case the first expression evaluated will be be < (7), which results in a matcher that is passed to should.
This method also enables the following syntax:
```
result should not (be < (7))
                      ^

This method enables the following syntax:
```

```
Note that the less than or equal to operator will be invoked on be in this expression, not on a result of passing be to should, as with most other operators in the matchers DSL, because the less than or equal to operator has a higher precedence than should. Thus in the above case the first expression evaluated will be be <= (7), which results in a matcher that is passed to should.
This method also enables the following syntax:
```
result should not (be <= (7))

Note that the greater than or equal to operator will be invoked on be in this expression, not on a result of passing be to should, as with most other operators in the matchers DSL, because the greater than or equal to operator has a higher precedence than should. Thus in the above case the first expression evaluated will be be >= (7), which results in a matcher that is passed to should.

Note: usually syntax will be removed after its deprecation period. This was left in because otherwise the syntax could in some cases still compile, but silently wouldn't work.
