LegacyTripleEquals

trait LegacyTripleEquals extends TripleEqualsSupport

Provides === and !== operators that return Boolean, delegate the equality determination to an Equality type class, and require no relationship between the types of the two values compared.

Recommended Usage: Trait LegacyTripleEquals is useful (in test, not production, code) when you need to determine equality for a type of object differently than its equals method: either you can't change the equals method, or the equals method is sensible generally, but you are in a special situation where you need something else. If you also want a compile-time type check, however, you should use one of LegacyTripleEquals sibling traits: ConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals or TypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals.

Note: This trait is extended by org.scalatest.Assertions, because it provides the same kind of === operator that was historically provided by Assertions. The purpose of this trait is to maintain compatibility with existing ScalaTest code that uses the original === operator. After ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, the “legacy” triple equals traits will be deprecated and eventually removed. Good error messages will be obtained for both == and === through assert macros. In the transition phase, you can in production code use regular triple equals traits, whose === operators return Boolean, and in test code use "legacy" triple equals traits, whose === operators return Option[String].

This trait will override or hide implicit methods defined by its sibling traits, ConversionCheckedLegacyTripleEquals or TypeCheckedLegacyTripleEquals, and can therefore be used to temporarily turn off type checking in a limited scope. Because the methods in LegacyTripleEquals (and its siblings) override all the methods defined in supertype TripleEqualsSupport, you can achieve the same kind of nested tuning of equality constraints whether you mix in traits, import from companion objects, or use some combination of both.

In short, you should be able to select a primary constraint level via either a mixin or import, then change that in nested scopes however you want, again either through a mixin or import, without getting any implicit conversion ambiguity. The innermost constraint level in scope will always be in force.

Deprecated

org.scalactic.LegacyTripleEquals has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version of ScalaTest. If you need this, please copy the source code into your own trait instead.

  1. class CheckingEqualizer[L] extends AnyRef

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable two objects to be compared with === and !== with a Boolean result and an enforced type constraint between two object types.

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable two objects to be compared with === and !== with a Boolean result and an enforced type constraint between two object types. For example:

    assert(a === b)
    assert(c !== d)
    

    You can also check numeric values against another with a tolerance. Here are some examples:

    assert(a === (2.0 +- 0.1))
    assert(c !== (2.0 +- 0.1))

  3. class LegacyCheckingEqualizer[L] extends AnyRef

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable any two objects to be compared with === and !== with an Option[String] result and an enforced type constraint between two object types.

    Class used via an implicit conversion to enable any two objects to be compared with === and !== with an Option[String] result and an enforced type constraint between two object types. For example:

    assert(a === b)
    assert(c !== d)
    

    You can also check numeric values against another with a tolerance. Here are some examples:

    assert(a === (2.0 +- 0.1))
    assert(c !== (2.0 +- 0.1))
    

    The benefit of using assert(a === b) rather than assert(a == b) in ScalaTest code is that a TestFailedException produced by the former will include the values of a and b in its detail message.

    Note: This class has "Legacy" in its name because its approach to error messages will eventually be replaced by macros. Once ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, this class will be deprecated in favor of class Equalizer. Instead of obtaining nice error messages via the Option[String] returned by the methods of this class, the error messages will be obtained by a macro. The "legacy" approach to good error messages will continue to be used, however, until ScalaTest no longer supports Scala 2.9, since macros were introduced to Scala (in experimental form) in 2.10.

    The primary constructor takes one object, left, whose type is being converted to Equalizer. The left value may be a null reference, because this is allowed by Scala's == operator.
