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()
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)

filter

and Set()
for tagsToExclude

- the configMap

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.

Note that the type specified as this method's type parameter may represent any subtype of

Scala, exceptions can be caught based on traits they implement, so it may at times make sense

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.
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.

, which encapsulates an optional Set
of tag names that should be included
(tagsToInclude

of this Suite
's tests to run.
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 the tagsToExclude
Set
will be run. However, if testName
is defined, tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
are essentially ignored.
Only if testName
is None
will tagsToInclude
and tagsToExclude
be consulted to
determine which of the tests named in the testNames
Set
should be run. This trait's implementation
behaves this way, and it is part of the general contract of this method, so all overridden forms of this method should behave
this way as well. For more information on test tags, see the main documentation for this trait and for class Filter
.
Note that this means that even if a test is marked as ignored, for example a test method in a Suite
annotated with
org.scalatest.Ignore
, if that test name is passed as testName
to runTest
, it will be invoked
despite the Ignore
annotation.
If testName

Each suite reported during a run will commonly be an instance of a different Suite

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

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.

Trap and return any thrown exception that would normally cause a ScalaTest test to fail, or create and return a new RuntimeException
indicating no exception is thrown.
Trap and return any thrown exception that would normally cause a ScalaTest test to fail, or create and return a new RuntimeException
indicating no exception is thrown.
This method is intended to be used in the Scala interpreter to eliminate large stack traces when trying out ScalaTest assertions and
matcher expressions. It is not intended to be used in regular test code. If you want to ensure that a bit of code throws an expected
exception, use intercept
, not trap
. Here's an example interpreter session without trap
:
scala> import org.scalatest._ import org.scalatest._ scala> import Matchers._ import Matchers._ scala> val x = 12 a: Int = 12 scala> x shouldEqual 13 org.scalatest.exceptions.TestFailedException: 12 did not equal 13 at org.scalatest.Assertions$class.newAssertionFailedException(Assertions.scala:449) at org.scalatest.Assertions$.newAssertionFailedException(Assertions.scala:1203) at org.scalatest.Assertions$AssertionsHelper.macroAssertTrue(Assertions.scala:417) at .<init>(<console>:15) at .<clinit>(<console>) at .<init>(<console>:7) at .<clinit>(<console>) at $print(<console>) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain$ReadEvalPrint.call(IMain.scala:731) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain$Request.loadAndRun(IMain.scala:980) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain.loadAndRunReq$1(IMain.scala:570) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain.interpret(IMain.scala:601) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.IMain.interpret(IMain.scala:565) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.reallyInterpret$1(ILoop.scala:745) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.interpretStartingWith(ILoop.scala:790) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.command(ILoop.scala:702) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.processLine$1(ILoop.scala:566) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.innerLoop$1(ILoop.scala:573) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.loop(ILoop.scala:576) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop$$anonfun$process$1.apply$mcZ$sp(ILoop.scala:867) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop$$anonfun$process$1.apply(ILoop.scala:822) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop$$anonfun$process$1.apply(ILoop.scala:822) at scala.tools.nsc.util.ScalaClassLoader$.savingContextLoader(ScalaClassLoader.scala:135) at scala.tools.nsc.interpreter.ILoop.process(ILoop.scala:822) at scala.tools.nsc.MainGenericRunner.runTarget$1(MainGenericRunner.scala:83) at scala.tools.nsc.MainGenericRunner.process(MainGenericRunner.scala:96) at scala.tools.nsc.MainGenericRunner$.main(MainGenericRunner.scala:105) at scala.tools.nsc.MainGenericRunner.main(MainGenericRunner.scala)
That's a pretty tall stack trace. Here's what it looks like when you use trap
:
scala> trap { x shouldEqual 13 } res1: Throwable = org.scalatest.exceptions.TestFailedException: 12 did not equal 13
Much less clutter. Bear in mind, however, that if no exception is thrown by the
passed block of code, the trap
method will create a new NormalResult
(a subclass of Throwable
made for this purpose only) and return that. If the result was the Unit
value, it
will simply say that no exception was thrown:
scala> trap { x shouldEqual 12 } res2: Throwable = No exception was thrown.
If the passed block of code results in a value other than Unit
, the NormalResult
's toString
will print the value:
scala> trap { "Dude!" } res3: Throwable = No exception was thrown. Instead, result was: "Dude!"
Although you can access the result value from the NormalResult
, its type is Any
and therefore not
very convenient to use. It is not intended that trap
be used in test code. The sole intended use case for trap
is decluttering
Scala interpreter sessions by eliminating stack traces when executing assertion and matcher expressions.
Executes the block of code passed as the second parameter, and, if it
completes abruptly with a ModifiableMessage
exception,
prepends the "clue" string passed as the first parameter to the beginning of the detail message
of that thrown exception, then rethrows it.
Executes the block of code passed as the second parameter, and, if it
completes abruptly with a ModifiableMessage
exception,
prepends the "clue" string passed as the first parameter to the beginning of the detail message
of that thrown exception, then rethrows it. If clue does not end in a white space
character, one space will be added
between it and the existing detail message (unless the detail message is
not defined).
This method allows you to add more information about what went wrong that will be reported when a test fails. Here's an example:
withClue("(Employee's name was: " + employee.name + ")") { intercept[IllegalArgumentException] { employee.getTask(-1) } }
If an invocation of intercept
completed abruptly with an exception, the resulting message would be something like:
(Employee's name was Bob Jones) Expected IllegalArgumentException to be thrown, but no exception was thrown
NullArgumentException
if the passed clue
is null
Run the passed test function in the context of a fixture established by this method.
Run the passed test function in the context of 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 var
s in this Suite
or initializing
a globally accessible external database. If you want to avoid reassigning instance var
s
you can use fixture.Suite.
This trait's implementation of runTest
invokes this method for each test, passing
in a NoArgTest
whose apply
method will execute the code of the test.
This trait's implementation of this method simply invokes the passed NoArgTest
function.

Wrapper
Suite
that passes an instance of the config map to the constructor of the wrappedSuite
whenrun
is invoked.ConfigMapWrapperSuite
is primarily intended to be used with the "path" traits, which can't use the usual approaches to accessing the config map because of the eager manner in which they run tests.Each time
run
is invoked on an instance ofConfigMapWrapperSuite
, this suite will create a new instance of the suite to wrap, passing to the constructor the config map passed torun
. This way, if the sameConfigMapWrapperSuite
instance is run multiple times, each time with a different config map, an instance of the wrapped suite will be created for each config map. In addition to being passed to the wrapped suite's constructor, the config map passed to theConfigMapWrapperSuite
'srun
method will also be passed to therun
method of the newly created wrapped suite instance.The config map is accessible inside a
Suite
in many ways. It is passed torun
,runNestedSuites
,runTests
, andrunTest
. It is also passed towithFixture
, accessible via a method onNoArgTest
andOneArgTest
. It is passed to an overloaded forms of thebeforeEach
andafterEach
methods of traitBeforeAndAfterEach
, as well as overloaded forms of thebeforeAll
andafterAll
methods of traitBeforeAndAfterAll
. Tests themselves can have information taken from the config map, or the entire config map, through various means. The config map may be passed into the test via aConfigMapFixture
, for example. ClassConfigMapWrapperSuite
represents one more way to get at the config map inside a suite of test:ConfigMapWrapperSuite
will pass the config map to the constructor of your suite class, bringing it easily into scope for tests and helper methods alike.Having the config map passed to the suite constructor might be more convenient in some cases, but in the case of the
org.scalatest.path
traits, it is necessary if a test needs information from a config map. The reason is that in a path trait, the test code is executed eagerly, beforerun
is invoked. The results of the tests are registered when the tests are executed, and those results are merely reported oncerun
is invoked. Thus by the timerun
has been invoked, it is too late to get the config map to the tests, which have already been executed. Using aConfigMapWrapperSuite
solves that problem. By passing the config map to the constructor, it is available early enough for the running tests to use it. Here's an example:
