  • trait OptionValues extends AnyRef

    Trait that provides an implicit conversion that adds a value method to Option, which will return the value of the option if it is defined, or throw TestFailedException if not.

    Trait that provides an implicit conversion that adds a value method to Option, which will return the value of the option if it is defined, or throw TestFailedException if not.

    This construct allows you to express in one statement that an option should be defined and that its value should meet some expectation. Here's an example:

    opt.value should be > 9
    

    Or, using an assertion instead of a matcher expression:

    assert(opt.value > 9)
    

    Were you to simply invoke get on the Option, if the option wasn't defined, it would throw a NoSuchElementException:

    val opt: Option[Int] = None
    
    opt.get should be > 9 // opt.get throws NoSuchElementException

    The NoSuchElementException would cause the test to fail, but without providing a stack depth pointing to the failing line of test code. This stack depth, provided by TestFailedException (and a few other ScalaTest exceptions), makes it quicker for users to navigate to the cause of the failure. Without OptionValues, to get a stack depth exception you would need to make two statements, like this:

    val opt: Option[Int] = None
    
    opt should be ('defined) // throws TestFailedException opt.get should be > 9

    The OptionValues trait allows you to state that more concisely:

    val opt: Option[Int] = None
    
    opt.value should be > 9 // opt.value throws TestFailedException
