BehaveWord

class BehaveWord extends AnyRef

Class that supports shared test registration via instances referenced from the behave field of Specs, FlatSpecs, and WordSpecs as well as instance of their sister traits, FixtureSpec, FixtureFlatSpec, and FixtureWordSpec.

This class, via the behave field, enables syntax such as the following in Specs, FlatSpecs, FixtureSpecs, and FixtureFlatSpecs:

it should behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
          

It also enables syntax such as the following syntax in WordSpecs and FixtureWordSpecs:

behave like nonEmptyStack(lastValuePushed)

For more information and examples of the use of behave, see the Shared tests section in the main documentation for trait Spec, FlatSpec, or WordSpec.

Value Members

  1. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  2. def hashCode(): Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

  3. def like(unit: Unit): Unit

    Supports the registration of shared tests

    Supports the registration of shared tests.

    This method enables syntax such as the following in Specs, FlatSpecs, FixtureSpecs, and FixtureFlatSpecs:

    it should behave like nonFullStack(stackWithOneItem)
                     
    

    It also enables syntax such as the following syntax in WordSpecs and FixtureWordSpecs:

    behave like nonEmptyStack(lastValuePushed)
    

    This method just provides syntax sugar intended to make the intent of the code clearer. Because the parameter passed to it is type Unit, the expression will be evaluated before being passed, which is sufficient to register the shared tests. For more information and examples of the use of behave, see the Shared tests section in the main documentation for trait Spec, FlatSpec, or WordSpec.

  4. def toString(): String

    Returns a string representation of the object

    Returns a string representation of the object.

    The default representation is platform dependent.
