org.scalatest.FunSuite

A suite of tests in which each test is represented as a function value. The “Fun” in FunSuite stands for “function.”

Recommended Usage: For teams coming from xUnit, FunSuite feels comfortable and familiar while still giving some benefits of BDD: FunSuite makes it easy to write descriptive test names, natural to write focused tests, and generates specification-like output that can facilitate communication among stakeholders.

Here's an example FunSuite:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class SetSuite extends FunSuite {

  test("An empty Set should have size 0") {
    assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
  }

  test("Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException") {
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
}

“test” is a method, defined in FunSuite, which will be invoked by the primary constructor of SetSuite. You specify the name of the test as a string between the parentheses, and the test code itself between curly braces. The test code is a function passed as a by-name parameter to test, which registers it for later execution.

A FunSuite's lifecycle has two phases: the registration phase and the ready phase. It starts in registration phase and enters ready phase the first time run is called on it. It then remains in ready phase for the remainder of its lifetime.

Tests can only be registered with the test method while the FunSuite is in its registration phase. Any attempt to register a test after the FunSuite has entered its ready phase, i.e., after run has been invoked on the FunSuite, will be met with a thrown TestRegistrationClosedException. The recommended style of using FunSuite is to register tests during object construction as is done in all the examples shown here. If you keep to the recommended style, you should never see a TestRegistrationClosedException.

Note: Trait FunSuite was in part inspired by Rehersal, an early test framework for Scala.

Ignored tests

To support the common use case of temporarily disabling a test, with the good intention of resurrecting the test at a later time, FunSuite provides registration methods that start with ignore instead of test. Here's an example: to temporarily

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.ignore

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class SetSuite extends FunSuite {

  ignore("An empty Set should have size 0") {
    assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
  }

  test("Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException") {
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
}

If you run this version of SetSuite with:

scala> new SetSuite execute

It will run only the second test and report that the first test was ignored:

SetSuite:
- An empty Set should have size 0 !!! IGNORED !!!
- Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException

If you wish to temporarily ignore an entire suite of tests, you can annotate the test class with @Ignore, like this:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.ignoreall

import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import org.scalatest.Ignore

@Ignore
class SetSuite extends FunSuite {

  test("An empty Set should have size 0") {
    assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
  }

  test("Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException") {
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
}

When you mark a test class with a tag annotation, ScalaTest will mark each test defined in that class with that tag. Thus, marking the SetSuite in the above example with the @Ignore tag annotation means that both tests in the class will be ignored. If you run the above SetSuite in the Scala interpreter, you'll see:

scala> new SetSuite execute
SetSuite:
- An empty Set should have size 0 !!! IGNORED !!!
- Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException !!! IGNORED !!!

Note that marking a test class as ignored won't prevent it from being discovered by ScalaTest. Ignored classes will be discovered and run, and all their tests will be reported as ignored. This is intended to keep the ignored class visible, to encourage the developers to eventually fix and “un-ignore” it. If you want to prevent a class from being discovered at all, use the DoNotDiscover annotation instead.

Informers

One of the parameters to FunSuite's run method is a Reporter, which will collect and report information about the running suite of tests. Information about suites and tests that were run, whether tests succeeded or failed, and tests that were ignored will be passed to the Reporter as the suite runs. Most often the reporting done by default by FunSuite's methods will be sufficient, but occasionally you may wish to provide custom information to the Reporter from a test. For this purpose, an Informer that will forward information to the current Reporter is provided via the info parameterless method. You can pass the extra information to the Informer via its apply method. The Informer will then pass the information to the Reporter via an InfoProvided event. Here's an example that shows both a direct use as well as an indirect use through the methods of GivenWhenThen:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.info

import collection.mutable
import org.scalatest._

class SetSuite extends FunSuite with GivenWhenThen {

  test("An element can be added to an empty mutable Set") {

    Given("an empty mutable Set")
    val set = mutable.Set.empty[String]

    When("an element is added")
    set += "clarity"

    Then("the Set should have size 1")
    assert(set.size === 1)

    And("the Set should contain the added element")
    assert(set.contains("clarity"))

    info("That's all folks!")
  }
}

If you run this FunSuite from the interpreter, you will see the following output:

scala> new SetSuite execute
SetSuite:
- an element can be added to an empty mutable Set
  + Given an empty mutable Set
  + When an element is added
  + Then the Set should have size 1
  + And the Set should contain the added element
  + That's all folks!

Pending tests

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, 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, has not yet been implemented.

Although pending tests may be used more often in specification-style suites, such as org.scalatest.FunSpec, you can also use it in FunSuite, like this:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.pending

import org.scalatest._

class SetSuite extends FunSuite {

  test("An empty Set should have size 0") (pending)

  test("Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException") {
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
}

(Note: "(pending)" is the body of the test. Thus the test contains just one statement, an invocation of the pending method, which throws TestPendingException.) If you run this version of SetSuite with:

scala> new SetSuite execute

It will run both tests, but report that first test is pending. You'll see:

SetSuite:
- An empty Set should have size 0 (pending)
- Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException

One difference between an ignored test and a pending one is that an ignored test is intended to be used during a significant refactorings of the code under test, when tests break and you don't want to spend the time to fix all of them immediately. You can mark some of those broken tests as ignored temporarily, so that you can focus the red bar on just failing tests you actually want to fix immediately. Later you can go back and fix the ignored tests. In other words, by ignoring some failing tests temporarily, you can more easily notice failed tests that you actually want to fix. By contrast, a pending test is intended to be used before a test and/or the code under test is written. Pending indicates you've decided to write a test for a bit of behavior, but either you haven't written the test yet, or have only written part of it, or perhaps you've written the test but don't want to implement the behavior it tests until after you've implemented a different bit of behavior you realized you need first. Thus ignored tests are designed to facilitate refactoring of existing code whereas pending tests are designed to facilitate the creation of new code.

One other difference between ignored and pending tests is that ignored tests are implemented as a test tag that is excluded by default. Thus an ignored test is never executed. By contrast, a pending test is implemented as a test that throws TestPendingException (which is what calling the pending method does). Thus the body of pending tests are executed up until they throw TestPendingException. The reason for this difference is that it enables your unfinished test to send InfoProvided messages to the reporter before it completes abruptly with TestPendingException, as shown in the previous example on Informers that used the GivenWhenThen trait.

Tagging tests

A FunSuite's tests may be classified into groups by tagging them with string names. As with any suite, when executing a FunSuite, groups of tests can optionally be included and/or excluded. To tag a FunSuite's tests, you pass objects that extend class org.scalatest.Tag to methods that register tests. Class Tag takes one parameter, a string name. If you have created tag annotation interfaces as described in the Tag documentation, then you will probably want to use tag names on your test functions that match. To do so, simply pass the fully qualified names of the tag interfaces to the Tag constructor. For example, if you've defined tag annotation interfaces with fully qualified names, com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest and com.mycompany.tags.DbTest, then you could create matching tags for FunSuites like this:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.tagging

import org.scalatest.Tag

object SlowTest extends Tag("com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest")
object DbTest extends Tag("com.mycompany.tags.DbTest")

Given these definitions, you could place FunSuite tests into groups like this:

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class SetSuite extends FunSuite {

  test("An empty Set should have size 0", SlowTest) {
    assert(Set.empty.size === 0)
  }

  test("Invoking head on an empty Set should produce NoSuchElementException",
       SlowTest, DbTest) {
    intercept[NoSuchElementException] {
      Set.empty.head
    }
  }
}

This code marks both tests with the com.mycompany.tags.SlowTest tag, and the second test with the com.mycompany.tags.DbTest tag.

The run method takes a Filter, whose constructor takes an optional Set[String] called tagsToInclude and a Set[String] called tagsToExclude. 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 tagsToExclude, will be run.

It is recommended, though not required, that you create a corresponding tag annotation when you create a Tag object. A tag annotation allows you to tag all the tests of a FunSuite in one stroke by annotating the class. For more information and examples, see the documentation for class Tag.

Shared fixtures

A test fixture is composed of the objects and other artifacts (files, sockets, database connections, etc.) tests use to do their work. When multiple tests need to work with the same fixtures, it is important to try and avoid duplicating the fixture code across those tests. The more code duplication you have in your tests, the greater drag the tests will have on refactoring the actual production code. ScalaTest recommends several techniques to eliminate such code duplication, and provides several traits to help. Each technique is geared towards helping you reduce code duplication without introducing instance vars, shared mutable objects, or other dependencies between tests. Eliminating shared mutable state across tests will make your test code easier to reason about and more amenable for parallel test execution.

The following sections describe these techniques, including explaining the recommended usage for each. But first, here's a table summarizing the options:

Technique	Recommended uses
get-fixture methods	Use when you need the same mutable fixture objects in multiple tests, and don't need to clean up after.
fixture-context objects	Use when you need different combinations of mutable fixture objects in different tests, and don't need to clean up after.
`OneInstancePerTest`	Use when porting JUnit tests to ScalaTest, or if you prefer JUnit's approach to test isolation: running each test in its own instance of the test class.
`withFixture(NoArgTest)`	Use when you need to perform side effects at the beginning and end of all or most tests, or want to stack traits that perform such side-effects.
loan-fixture methods	Use when different tests need different fixtures that must be cleaned up afterwords.
`withFixture(OneArgTest)`	Use when all or most tests need the same fixtures that must be cleaned up afterwords.
`BeforeAndAfter`	Use when you need to perform the same side-effects before and/or after tests, rather than at the beginning or end of tests.
`BeforeAndAfterEach`	Use when you want to stack traits that perform the same side-effects before and/or after tests, rather than at the beginning or end of tests.

Calling get-fixture methods

If you need to create the same mutable fixture objects in multiple tests, and don't need to clean them up after using them, the simplest approach is to write one or more get-fixture methods. A get-fixture method returns a new instance of a needed fixture object (or an holder object containing multiple fixture objects) each time it is called. You can call a get-fixture method at the beginning of each test that needs the fixture, storing the returned object or objects in local variables. Here's an example:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.getfixture

import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite {

  def fixture =
    new {
      val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
      val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]
    }

  test("Testing should be easy") {
    val f = fixture
    f.builder.append("easy!")
    assert(f.builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
    assert(f.buffer.isEmpty)
    f.buffer += "sweet"
  }

  test("Testing should be fun") {
    val f = fixture
    f.builder.append("fun!")
    assert(f.builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
    assert(f.buffer.isEmpty)
  }
}

The “f.” in front of each use of a fixture object provides a visual indication of which objects are part of the fixture, but if you prefer, you can import the the members with “import f._” and use the names directly.

If you need to configure fixture objects differently in different tests, you can pass configuration into the get-fixture method. For example, if you could pass in an initial value for a mutable fixture object as a parameter to the get-fixture method.

Instantiating fixture-context objects

An alternate technique that is especially useful when different tests need different combinations of fixture objects is to define the fixture objects as instance variables of fixture-context objects whose instantiation forms the body of tests. Like get-fixture methods, fixture-context objects are only appropriate if you don't need to clean up the fixtures after using them.

To use this technique, you define instance variables intialized with fixture objects in traits and/or classes, then in each test instantiate an object that contains just the fixture objects needed by the test. Traits allow you to mix together just the fixture objects needed by each test, whereas classes allow you to pass data in via a constructor to configure the fixture objects. Here's an example in which fixture objects are partitioned into two traits and each test just mixes together the traits it needs:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.fixturecontext

import collection.mutable.ListBuffer
import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite {

  trait Builder {
    val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
  }

  trait Buffer {
    val buffer = ListBuffer("ScalaTest", "is")
  }

  // This test needs the StringBuilder fixture
  test("Testing should be productive") {
    new Builder {
      builder.append("productive!")
      assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is productive!")
    }
  }

  // This test needs the ListBuffer[String] fixture
  test("Test code should be readable") {
    new Buffer {
      buffer += ("readable!")
      assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "readable!"))
    }
  }

  // This test needs both the StringBuilder and ListBuffer
  test("Test code should be clear and concise") {
    new Builder with Buffer {
      builder.append("clear!")
      buffer += ("concise!")
      assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
      assert(buffer === List("ScalaTest", "is", "concise!"))
    }
  }
}

Mixing in `OneInstancePerTest`

If every test method requires the same set of mutable fixture objects, and none require cleanup, one other approach you can take is make them simply vals and mix in trait OneInstancePerTest. If you mix in OneInstancePerTest, each test will be run in its own instance of the Suite, similar to the way JUnit tests are executed. Here's an example:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.oneinstancepertest

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

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite with OneInstancePerTest {

  val builder = new StringBuilder("ScalaTest is ")
  val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]

  test("Testing should be easy") {
    builder.append("easy!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "sweet"
  }

  test("Testing should be fun") {
    builder.append("fun!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
  }
}

One way to think of OneInstancePerTest is that the entire Suite instance is like a fixture-context object, but with the difference that the test code doesn't run during construction as it does with the real fixture-context object technique. Because this trait emulates JUnit's manner of running tests, this trait can be helpful when porting JUnit tests to ScalaTest. The primary intended use of OneInstancePerTest is to serve as a supertrait for ParallelTestExecution and the path traits, but you can also mix it in directly to help you port JUnit tests to ScalaTest or if you prefer JUnit's approach to test isolation.

Overriding `withFixture(NoArgTest)`

Although the get-fixture method, fixture-context object, and OneInstancePerTest approaches take care of setting up a fixture at the beginning of each test, they don't address the problem of cleaning up a fixture at the end of the test. If you just need to perform a side-effect at the beginning or end of a test, and don't need to actually pass any fixture objects into the test, you can override withFixture(NoArgTest), one of ScalaTest's lifecycle methods defined in trait Suite.

Trait Suite's implementation of runTest passes a no-arg test function to withFixture(NoArgTest). It is withFixture's responsibility to invoke that test function. Suite's implementation of withFixture simply invokes the function, like this:

// Default implementation in trait Suite
protected def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
  test()
}

You can, therefore, override withFixture to perform setup before and/or cleanup after invoking the test function. If you have cleanup to perform, you should invoke the test function inside a try block and perform the cleanup in a finally clause, because the exception that causes a test to fail will propagate through withFixture back to runTest. (In other words, if the test fails, the test function invoked by withFixture will throw an exception.)

The withFixture method is designed to be stacked, and to enable this, you should always call the super implementation of withFixture, and let it invoke the test function rather than invoking the test function directly. In other words, instead of writing “test()”, you should write “super.withFixture(test)”, like this:

// Your implementation
override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
  // Perform setup
  try super.withFixture(test) // Invoke the test function
  finally {
    // Perform cleanup
  }
}

Here's an example in which withFixture(NoArgTest) is used to take a snapshot of the working directory if a test fails, and and send that information to the reporter:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.noargtest

import java.io.File
import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite {

  override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {

    try super.withFixture(test)
    catch {
      case e: Exception =>
        val currDir = new File(".")
        val fileNames = currDir.list()
        info("Dir snapshot: " + fileNames.mkString(", "))
        throw e
    }
  }

  test("This test should succeed") {
    assert(1 + 1 === 2)
  }

  test("This test should fail") {
    assert(1 + 1 === 3)
  }
}

Running this version of ExampleSuite in the interpreter in a directory with two files, hello.txt and world.txt would give the following output:

scala> new ExampleSuite execute
ExampleSuite:
- this test should succeed
- this test should fail *** FAILED ***
  2 did not equal 3 (<console>:33)
  + Dir snapshot: hello.txt, world.txt

Note that the NoArgTest passed to withFixture, in addition to an apply method that executes the test, also includes the test name and the config map passed to runTest. Thus you can also use the test name and configuration objects in your withFixture implementation.

Calling loan-fixture methods

If you need to both pass a fixture object into a test and perform cleanup at the end of the test, you'll need to use the loan pattern. If different tests need different fixtures that require cleanup, you can implement the loan pattern directly by writing loan-fixture methods. A loan-fixture method takes a function whose body forms part or all of a test's code. It creates a fixture, passes it to the test code by invoking the function, then cleans up the fixture after the function returns.

The following example shows three tests that use two fixtures, a database and a file. Both require cleanup after, so each is provided via a loan-fixture method. (In this example, the database is simulated with a StringBuffer.)

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.loanfixture

import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap

object DbServer { // Simulating a database server
  type Db = StringBuffer
  private val databases = new ConcurrentHashMap[String, Db]
  def createDb(name: String): Db = {
    val db = new StringBuffer
    databases.put(name, db)
    db
  }
  def removeDb(name: String) {
    databases.remove(name)
  }
}

import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import DbServer._
import java.util.UUID.randomUUID
import java.io._

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite {

  def withDatabase(testCode: Db => Any) {
    val dbName = randomUUID.toString
    val db = createDb(dbName) // create the fixture
    try {
      db.append("ScalaTest is ") // perform setup
      testCode(db) // "loan" the fixture to the test
    }
    finally removeDb(dbName) // clean up the fixture
  }

  def withFile(testCode: (File, FileWriter) => Any) {
    val file = File.createTempFile("hello", "world") // create the fixture
    val writer = new FileWriter(file)
    try {
      writer.write("ScalaTest is ") // set up the fixture
      testCode(file, writer) // "loan" the fixture to the test
    }
    finally writer.close() // clean up the fixture
  }

  // This test needs the file fixture
  test("Testing should be productive") {
    withFile { (file, writer) =>
      writer.write("productive!")
      writer.flush()
      assert(file.length === 24)
    }
  }

  // This test needs the database fixture
  test("Test code should be readable") {
    withDatabase { db =>
      db.append("readable!")
      assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is readable!")
    }
  }

  // This test needs both the file and the database
  test("Test code should be clear and concise") {
    withDatabase { db =>
      withFile { (file, writer) => // loan-fixture methods compose
        db.append("clear!")
        writer.write("concise!")
        writer.flush()
        assert(db.toString === "ScalaTest is clear!")
        assert(file.length === 21)
      }
    }
  }
}

As demonstrated by the last test, loan-fixture methods compose. Not only do loan-fixture methods allow you to give each test the fixture it needs, they allow you to give a test multiple fixtures and clean everything up afterwords.

Also demonstrated in this example is the technique of giving each test its own "fixture sandbox" to play in. When your fixtures involve external side-effects, like creating files or databases, it is a good idea to give each file or database a unique name as is done in this example. This keeps tests completely isolated, allowing you to run them in parallel if desired.

Overriding `withFixture(OneArgTest)`

If all or most tests need the same fixture, you can avoid some of the boilerplate of the loan-fixture method approach by using a fixture.Suite and overriding withFixture(OneArgTest). Each test in a fixture.Suite takes a fixture as a parameter, allowing you to pass the fixture into the test. You must indicate the type of the fixture parameter by specifying FixtureParam, and implement a withFixture method that takes a OneArgTest. This withFixture method is responsible for invoking the one-arg test function, so you can perform fixture set up before, and clean up after, invoking and passing the fixture into the test function.

To enable the stacking of traits that define withFixture(NoArgTest), it is a good idea to let withFixture(NoArgTest) invoke the test function instead of invoking the test function directly. To do so, you'll need to convert the OneArgTest to a NoArgTest. You can do that by passing the fixture object to the toNoArgTest method of OneArgTest. In other words, instead of writing “test(theFixture)”, you'd delegate responsibility for invoking the test function to the withFixture(NoArgTest) method of the same instance by writing:

withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture))

Here's a complete example:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.oneargtest

import org.scalatest.fixture
import java.io._

class ExampleSuite extends fixture.FunSuite {

  case class F(file: File, writer: FileWriter)
  type FixtureParam = F

  def withFixture(test: OneArgTest) {

    // create the fixture
    val file = File.createTempFile("hello", "world")
    val writer = new FileWriter(file)
    val theFixture = F(file, writer)

    try {
      writer.write("ScalaTest is ") // set up the fixture
      withFixture(test.toNoArgTest(theFixture)) // "loan" the fixture to the test
    }
    finally writer.close() // clean up the fixture
  }

  test("Testing should be easy") { f =>
    f.writer.write("easy!")
    f.writer.flush()
    assert(f.file.length === 18)
  }

  test("Testing should be fun") { f =>
    f.writer.write("fun!")
    f.writer.flush()
    assert(f.file.length === 17)
  }
}

In this example, the tests actually required two fixture objects, a File and a FileWriter. In such situations you can simply define the FixtureParam type to be a tuple containing the objects, or as is done in this example, a case class containing the objects. For more information on the withFixture(OneArgTest) technique, see the documentation for fixture.Suite.

Mixing in `BeforeAndAfter`

In all the shared fixture examples shown so far, the activities of creating, setting up, and cleaning up the fixture objects have been performed during the test. This means that if an exception occurs during any of these activities, it will be reported as a test failure. Sometimes, however, you may want setup to happen before the test starts, and cleanup after the test has completed, so that if an exception occurs during setup or cleanup, the entire suite aborts and no more tests are attempted. The simplest way to accomplish this in ScalaTest is to mix in trait BeforeAndAfter. With this trait you can denote a bit of code to run before each test with before and/or after each test each test with after, like this:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.beforeandafter

import org.scalatest.FunSuite
import org.scalatest.BeforeAndAfter
import collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite with BeforeAndAfter {

  val builder = new StringBuilder
  val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]

  before {
    builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
  }

  after {
    builder.clear()
    buffer.clear()
  }

  test("testing should be easy") {
    builder.append("easy!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "sweet"
  }

  test("testing should be fun") {
    builder.append("fun!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
  }
}

Note that the only way before and after code can communicate with test code is via some side-effecting mechanism, commonly by reassigning instance vars or by changing the state of mutable objects held from instance vals (as in this example). If using instance vars or mutable objects held from instance vals you wouldn't be able to run tests in parallel in the same instance of the test class unless you synchronized access to the shared, mutable state. This is why ScalaTest's ParallelTestExecution trait extends OneInstancePerTest. By running each test in its own instance of the class, each test has its own copy of the instance variables, so you don't need to synchronize. If you mixed ParallelTestExecution into the ExampleSuite above, the tests would run in parallel just fine without any synchronization needed on the mutable StringBuilder and ListBuffer[String] objects.

Although BeforeAndAfter provides a minimal-boilerplate way to execute code before and after tests, it isn't designed to enable stackable traits, because the order of execution would be non-obvious. If you want to factor out before and after code that is common to multiple test suites, you should use trait BeforeAndAfterEach instead, as shown later in the next section, composing fixtures by stacking traits.

Composing fixtures by stacking traits

In larger projects, teams often end up with several different fixtures that test classes need in different combinations, and possibly initialized (and cleaned up) in different orders. A good way to accomplish this in ScalaTest is to factor the individual fixtures into traits that can be composed using the stackable trait pattern. This can be done, for example, by placing withFixture methods in several traits, each of which call super.withFixture. Here's an example in which the StringBuilder and ListBuffer[String] fixtures used in the previous examples have been factored out into two stackable fixture traits named Builder and Buffer:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.composingwithfixture

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

trait Builder extends SuiteMixin { this: Suite =>

  val builder = new StringBuilder

  abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
    builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
    try super.withFixture(test) // To be stackable, must call super.withFixture
    finally builder.clear()
  }
}

trait Buffer extends SuiteMixin { this: Suite =>

  val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]

  abstract override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest) {
    try super.withFixture(test) // To be stackable, must call super.withFixture
    finally buffer.clear()
  }
}

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite with Builder with Buffer {

  test("Testing should be easy") {
    builder.append("easy!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "sweet"
  }

  test("Testing should be fun") {
    builder.append("fun!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "clear"
  }
}

By mixing in both the Builder and Buffer traits, ExampleSuite gets both fixtures, which will be initialized before each test and cleaned up after. The order the traits are mixed together determines the order of execution. In this case, Builder is “super” to Buffer. If you wanted Buffer to be “super” to Builder, you need only switch the order you mix them together, like this:

class Example2Suite extends Suite with Buffer with Builder

And if you only need one fixture you mix in only that trait:

class Example3Suite extends Suite with Builder

Another way to create stackable fixture traits is by extending the BeforeAndAfterEach and/or BeforeAndAfterAll traits. BeforeAndAfterEach has a beforeEach method that will be run before each test (like JUnit's setUp), and an afterEach method that will be run after (like JUnit's tearDown). Similarly, BeforeAndAfterAll has a beforeAll method that will be run before all tests, and an afterAll method that will be run after all tests. Here's what the previously shown example would look like if it were rewritten to use the BeforeAndAfterEach methods instead of withFixture:

package org.scalatest.examples.funsuite.composingbeforeandaftereach

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

trait Builder extends BeforeAndAfterEach { this: Suite =>

  val builder = new StringBuilder

  override def beforeEach() {
    builder.append("ScalaTest is ")
    super.beforeEach() // To be stackable, must call super.beforeEach
  }

  override def afterEach() {
    try {
      super.afterEach() // To be stackable, must call super.afterEach
    }
    finally builder.clear()
  }
}

trait Buffer extends BeforeAndAfterEach { this: Suite =>

  val buffer = new ListBuffer[String]

  override def afterEach() {
    try {
      super.afterEach() // To be stackable, must call super.afterEach
    }
    finally buffer.clear()
  }
}

class ExampleSuite extends FunSuite with Builder with Buffer {

  test("Testing should be easy") {
    builder.append("easy!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is easy!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "sweet"
  }

  test("Testing should be fun") {
    builder.append("fun!")
    assert(builder.toString === "ScalaTest is fun!")
    assert(buffer.isEmpty)
    buffer += "clear"
  }
}

To get the same ordering as withFixture, place your super.beforeEach call at the end of each beforeEach method, and the super.afterEach call at the beginning of each afterEach method, as shown in the previous example. It is a good idea to invoke super.afterEach in a try block and perform cleanup in a finally clause, as shown in the previous example, because this ensures the cleanup code is performed even if super.afterEach throws an exception.

The difference between stacking traits that extend BeforeAndAfterEach versus traits that implement withFixture is that setup and cleanup code happens before and after the test in BeforeAndAfterEach, but at the beginning and end of the test in withFixture. Thus if a withFixture method completes abruptly with an exception, it is considered a failed test. By contrast, if any of the beforeEach or afterEach methods of BeforeAndAfterEach complete abruptly, it is considered an aborted suite, which will result in a SuiteAborted event.

Shared tests

Sometimes you may want to run the same test code on different fixture objects. In other words, you may want to write tests that are "shared" by different fixture objects. To accomplish this in a FunSuite, you first place shared tests in behavior functions. These behavior functions will be invoked during the construction phase of any FunSuite that uses them, so that the tests they contain will be registered as tests in that FunSuite. For example, given this stack class:

import scala.collection.mutable.ListBuffer

class Stack[T] {

  val MAX = 10
  private val buf = new ListBuffer[T]

  def push(o: T) {
    if (!full)
      buf.prepend(o)
    else
      throw new IllegalStateException("can't push onto a full stack")
  }

  def pop(): T = {
    if (!empty)
      buf.remove(0)
    else
      throw new IllegalStateException("can't pop an empty stack")
  }

  def peek: T = {
    if (!empty)
      buf(0)
    else
      throw new IllegalStateException("can't pop an empty stack")
  }

  def full: Boolean = buf.size == MAX
  def empty: Boolean = buf.size == 0
  def size = buf.size

  override def toString = buf.mkString("Stack(", ", ", ")")
}

You may want to test the Stack class in different states: empty, full, with one item, with one item less than capacity, etc. You may find you have several tests that make sense any time the stack is non-empty. Thus you'd ideally want to run those same tests for three stack fixture objects: a full stack, a stack with a one item, and a stack with one item less than capacity. With shared tests, you can factor these tests out into a behavior function, into which you pass the stack fixture to use when running the tests. So in your FunSuite for stack, you'd invoke the behavior function three times, passing in each of the three stack fixtures so that the shared tests are run for all three fixtures.

You can define a behavior function that encapsulates these shared tests inside the FunSuite that uses them. If they are shared between different FunSuites, however, you could also define them in a separate trait that is mixed into each FunSuite that uses them. For example, here the nonEmptyStack behavior function (in this case, a behavior method) is defined in a trait along with another method containing shared tests for non-full stacks:

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

trait FunSuiteStackBehaviors { this: FunSuite =>

  def nonEmptyStack(createNonEmptyStack: => Stack[Int], lastItemAdded: Int) {

    test("empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: " + createNonEmptyStack.toString) {
      val stack = createNonEmptyStack
      assert(!stack.empty)
    }

    test("peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: " + createNonEmptyStack.toString) {
      val stack = createNonEmptyStack
      val size = stack.size
      assert(stack.peek === lastItemAdded)
      assert(stack.size === size)
    }

    test("pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: " + createNonEmptyStack.toString) {
      val stack = createNonEmptyStack
      val size = stack.size
      assert(stack.pop === lastItemAdded)
      assert(stack.size === size - 1)
    }
  }

  def nonFullStack(createNonFullStack: => Stack[Int]) {

    test("full is invoked on this non-full stack: " + createNonFullStack.toString) {
      val stack = createNonFullStack
      assert(!stack.full)
    }

    test("push is invoked on this non-full stack: " + createNonFullStack.toString) {
      val stack = createNonFullStack
      val size = stack.size
      stack.push(7)
      assert(stack.size === size + 1)
      assert(stack.peek === 7)
    }
  }
}

Given these behavior functions, you could invoke them directly, but FunSuite offers a DSL for the purpose, which looks like this:

testsFor(nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed))
testsFor(nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem))

If you prefer to use an imperative style to change fixtures, for example by mixing in BeforeAndAfterEach and reassigning a stack var in beforeEach, you could write your behavior functions in the context of that var, which means you wouldn't need to pass in the stack fixture because it would be in scope already inside the behavior function. In that case, your code would look like this:

testsFor(nonEmptyStack) // assuming lastValuePushed is also in scope inside nonEmptyStack
testsFor(nonFullStack)

The recommended style, however, is the functional, pass-all-the-needed-values-in style. Here's an example:

import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class StackFunSuite extends FunSuite with FunSuiteStackBehaviors {

  // Stack fixture creation methods
  def emptyStack = new Stack[Int]

  def fullStack = {
    val stack = new Stack[Int]
    for (i <- 0 until stack.MAX)
      stack.push(i)
    stack
  }

  def stackWithOneItem = {
    val stack = new Stack[Int]
    stack.push(9)
    stack
  }

  def stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity = {
    val stack = new Stack[Int]
    for (i <- 1 to 9)
      stack.push(i)
    stack
  }

  val lastValuePushed = 9

  test("empty is invoked on an empty stack") {
    val stack = emptyStack
    assert(stack.empty)
  }

  test("peek is invoked on an empty stack") {
    val stack = emptyStack
    intercept[IllegalStateException] {
      stack.peek
    }
  }

  test("pop is invoked on an empty stack") {
    val stack = emptyStack
    intercept[IllegalStateException] {
      emptyStack.pop
    }
  }

  testsFor(nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed))
  testsFor(nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem))

  testsFor(nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity, lastValuePushed))
  testsFor(nonFullStack(stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity))

  test("full is invoked on a full stack") {
    val stack = fullStack
    assert(stack.full)
  }

  testsFor(nonEmptyStack(fullStack, lastValuePushed))

  test("push is invoked on a full stack") {
    val stack = fullStack
    intercept[IllegalStateException] {
      stack.push(10)
    }
  }
}

If you load these classes into the Scala interpreter (with scalatest's JAR file on the class path), and execute it, you'll see:

scala> new StackFunSuite execute
StackFunSuite:
- empty is invoked on an empty stack
- peek is invoked on an empty stack
- pop is invoked on an empty stack
- empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)
- peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)
- pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)
- full is invoked on this non-full stack: Stack(9)
- push is invoked on this non-full stack: Stack(9)
- empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- full is invoked on this non-full stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- push is invoked on this non-full stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- full is invoked on a full stack
- empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
- peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
- pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0)
- push is invoked on a full stack

One thing to keep in mind when using shared tests is that in ScalaTest, each test in a suite must have a unique name. If you register the same tests repeatedly in the same suite, one problem you may encounter is an exception at runtime complaining that multiple tests are being registered with the same test name. In a FunSuite there is no nesting construct analogous to FunSpec's describe clause. Therefore, you need to do a bit of extra work to ensure that the test names are unique. If a duplicate test name problem shows up in a FunSuite, you'll need to pass in a prefix or suffix string to add to each test name. You can pass this string the same way you pass any other data needed by the shared tests, or just call toString on the shared fixture object. This is the approach taken by the previous FunSuiteStackBehaviors example.

Given this FunSuiteStackBehaviors trait, calling it with the stackWithOneItem fixture, like this:

testsFor(nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItem, lastValuePushed))

yields test names:

empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)
peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)
pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9)

Whereas calling it with the stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity fixture, like this:

testsFor(nonEmptyStack(stackWithOneItemLessThanCapacity, lastValuePushed))

yields different test names:

empty is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
peek is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
pop is invoked on this non-empty stack: Stack(9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)

implicit def convertToEqualizer (left: Any): Equalizer

Implicit conversion from Any to Equalizer, used to enable assertions with === comparisons.
Implicit conversion from Any to Equalizer, used to enable assertions with === comparisons.
For more information on this mechanism, see the documentation for Equalizer.
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)

def execute : Unit

Executes this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
Executes this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
This method, which simply invokes the other overloaded form of execute with default parameter values, is intended for use only as a mini-DSL for the Scala interpreter. It allows you to execute a Suite in the interpreter with a minimum of finger typing:
```
scala> new SetSpec execute
An empty Set
- should have size 0
- should produce NoSuchElementException when head is invoked !!! IGNORED !!!
```
If you do ever want to invoke execute outside the Scala interpreter, it is best style to invoke it with empty parens to indicate it has a side effect, like this:
```
// Use empty parens form in regular code (outside the Scala interpreter)
(new ExampleSuite).execute()

def execute (testName: String = null, configMap: Map[String, Any] = Map(), color: Boolean = true, durations: Boolean = false, shortstacks: Boolean = false, fullstacks: Boolean = false, stats: Boolean = false): Unit

Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
Executes one or more tests in this Suite, printing results to the standard output.
This method invokes run on itself, passing in values that can be configured via the parameters to this method, all of which have default values. This behavior is convenient when working with ScalaTest in the Scala interpreter. Here's a summary of this method's parameters and how you can use them:
The testName parameter
If you leave testName at its default value (of null), this method will pass None to the testName parameter of run, and as a result all the tests in this suite will be executed. If you specify a testName, this method will pass Some(testName) to run, and only that test will be run. Thus to run all tests in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you can write:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute
```
(The above syntax actually invokes the overloaded parameterless form of execute, which calls this form with its default parameter values.) To run just the test named "my favorite test" in a suite from the Scala interpreter, you would write:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute ("my favorite test")
```
Or:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (testName = "my favorite test")
```
The configMap parameter
If you provide a value for the configMap parameter, this method will pass it to run. If not, the default value of an empty Map will be passed. For more information on how to use a config map to configure your test suites, see the config map section in the main documentation for this trait. Here's an example in which you configure a run with the name of an input file:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (configMap = Map("inputFileName" -> "in.txt")
```
The color parameter
If you leave the color parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to print to the standard output in color (via ansi escape characters). If you don't want color output, specify false for color, like this:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (color = false)
```
The durations parameter
If you leave the durations parameter unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to not print durations for tests and suites to the standard output. If you want durations printed, specify true for durations, like this:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (durations = true)
```
The shortstacks and fullstacks parameters
If you leave both the shortstacks and fullstacks parameters unspecified, this method will configure the reporter it passes to run to not print stack traces for failed tests if it has a stack depth that identifies the offending line of test code. If you prefer a short stack trace (10 to 15 stack frames) to be printed with any test failure, specify true for shortstacks:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (shortstacks = true)
```
For full stack traces, set fullstacks to true:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (fullstacks = true)
```
If you specify true for both shortstacks and fullstacks, you'll get full stack traces.
The stats parameter
If you leave the stats parameter unspecified, this method will not fire RunStarting and either RunCompleted or RunAborted events to the reporter it passes to run. If you specify true for stats, this method will fire the run events to the reporter, and the reporter will print the expected test count before the run, and various statistics after, including the number of suites completed and number of tests that succeeded, failed, were ignored or marked pending. Here's how you get the stats:
```
scala> new ExampleSuite execute (stats = true)
```
To summarize, this method will pass to run:
- testName - None if this method's testName parameter is left at its default value of null, else Some(testName).
- reporter - a reporter that prints to the standard output
- stopper - a Stopper whose apply method always returns false
- filter - a Filter constructed with None for tagsToInclude and Set() for tagsToExclude
- configMap - the configMap passed to this method
- distributor - None
- tracker - a new Tracker
Note: In ScalaTest, the terms "execute" and "run" basically mean the same thing and can be used interchangably. The reason this method isn't named run is that it takes advantage of default arguments, and you can't mix overloaded methods and default arguments in Scala. (If named run, this method would have the same name but different arguments than the main run method that takes seven arguments. Thus it would overload and couldn't be used with default argument values.)
Design note: This method has two "features" that may seem unidiomatic. First, the default value of testName is null. Normally in Scala the type of testName would be Option[String] and the default value would be None, as it is in this trait's run method. The null value is used here for two reasons. First, in ScalaTest 1.5, execute was changed from four overloaded methods to one method with default values, taking advantage of the default and named parameters feature introduced in Scala 2.8. To not break existing source code, testName needed to have type String, as it did in two of the overloaded execute methods prior to 1.5. The other reason is that execute has always been designed to be called primarily from an interpeter environment, such as the Scala REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop). In an interpreter environment, minimizing keystrokes is king. A String type with a null default value lets users type suite.execute("my test name") rather than suite.execute(Some("my test name")), saving several keystrokes.
The second non-idiomatic feature is that shortstacks and fullstacks are all lower case rather than camel case. This is done to be consistent with the Shell, which also uses those forms. The reason lower case is used in the Shell is to save keystrokes in an interpreter environment. Most Unix commands, for example, are all lower case, making them easier and quicker to type. In the ScalaTest Shell, methods like shortstacks, fullstacks, and nostats, etc., are designed to be all lower case so they feel more like shell commands than methods.

def pending : PendingNothing

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 FunSpec 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.

def pendingUntilFixed (f: ⇒ Unit): Unit

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.
f

def run (testName: Option[String], args: Args): Status

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.)

A string ID for this Suite that is intended to be unique among all suites reported during a run.
This trait's implementation of this method returns the fully qualified name of this object's class. Each suite reported during a run will commonly be an instance of a different Suite class, and in such cases, this default implementation of this method will suffice. However, in special cases you may need to override this method to ensure it is unique for each reported suite. For example, if you write a Suite subclass that reads in a file whose name is passed to its constructor and dynamically creates a suite of tests based on the information in that file, you will likely need to override this method in your Suite subclass, perhaps by appending the pathname of the file to the fully qualified class name. That way if you run a suite of tests based on a directory full of these files, you'll have unique suite IDs for each reported suite.
The suite ID is intended to be unique, because ScalaTest does not enforce that it is unique. If it is not unique, then you may not be able to uniquely identify a particular test of a particular suite. This ability is used, for example, to dynamically tag tests as having failed in the previous run when rerunning only failed tests.
