Returns an Alerter that during test execution will forward strings (and other objects) passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked while this AnyFunSpec is being executed, such as from inside a test function, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Supports shared test registration in AnyFunSpecs.

This field supports syntax such as the following:

it should behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
          ^

For more information and examples of the use of <cod>behave, see the Shared tests section in the main documentation for this trait.

Describe a “subject” being specified and tested by the passed function value. The passed function value may contain more describers (defined with describe) and/or tests (defined with it). This trait's implementation of this method will register the description string and immediately invoke the passed function.

Register a test to ignore, which has the given spec text, optional tags, and test function value that takes no arguments. This method will register the test for later ignoring via an invocation of one of the execute methods. This method exists to make it easy to ignore an existing test by changing the call to it to ignore without deleting or commenting out the actual test code. The test will not be executed, but a report will be sent that indicates the test was ignored. The name of the test will be a concatenation of the text of all surrounding describers, from outside in, and the passed spec text, with one space placed between each item. (See the documenation for testNames for an example.) The resulting test name must not have been registered previously on this AnyFunSpec instance.

Returns an Informer that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked from inside a scope, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked from inside a test function, it will record the information and forward it to the current reporter only after the test completed, as recordedEvents of the test completed event, such as TestSucceeded. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Supports test (and shared test) registration in AnyFunSpecs.

This field supports syntax such as the following:

it("should be empty")
^

 class="stExamples"
it should behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
^

Returns a Documenter that during test execution will forward strings passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked from inside a scope, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked from inside a test function, it will record the information and forward it to the current reporter only after the test completed, as recordedEvents of the test completed event, such as TestSucceeded. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Returns a Notifier that during test execution will forward strings (and other objects) passed to its apply method to the current reporter. If invoked in a constructor, it will register the passed string for forwarding later during test execution. If invoked while this AnyFunSpec is being executed, such as from inside a test function, it will forward the information to the current reporter immediately. If invoked at any other time, it will print to the standard output. This method can be called safely by any thread.

Run a test. This trait's implementation runs the test registered with the name specified by testName. Each test's name is a concatenation of the text of all describers surrounding a test, from outside in, and the test's spec text, with one space placed between each item. (See the documenation for testNames for an example.)

Run zero to many of this AnyFunSpec's tests.

A Map whose keys are String names of tagged tests and whose associated values are the Set of tags for the test. If this AnyFunSpec contains no tags, this method returns an empty Map.

This trait's implementation returns tags that were passed as strings contained in Tag objects passed to methods it and ignore.

In addition, this trait's implementation will also auto-tag tests with class level annotations. For example, if you annotate @Ignore at the class level, all test methods in the class will be auto-annotated with org.scalatest.Ignore.

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

This trait's implementation of this method will return a set that contains the names of all registered tests. The set's iterator will return those names in the order in which the tests were registered. Each test's name is composed of the concatenation of the text of each surrounding describer, in order from outside in, and the text of the example itself, with all components separated by a space. For example, consider this AnyFunSpec:

import org.scalatest.funspec.AnyFunSpec

class StackSpec extends AnyFunSpec {
  describe("A Stack") {
    describe("(when not empty)") {
      it("must allow me to pop") {}
    }
    describe("(when not full)") {
      it("must allow me to push") {}
    }
  }
}

Invoking testNames on this AnyFunSpec will yield a set that contains the following two test name strings:

"A Stack (when not empty) must allow me to pop"
"A Stack (when not full) must allow me to push"

Supports test (and shared test) registration in AnyFunSpecs.

This field supports syntax such as the following:

they("should be empty")
^

 class="stExamples"
it should behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
^

The styleName lifecycle method has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of ScalaTest.

This method was used to support the chosen styles feature, which was deactivated in 3.1.0. The internal modularization of ScalaTest in 3.2.0 will replace chosen styles as the tool to encourage consistency across a project. We do not plan a replacement for styleName.
