Spec trait of ScalaTest

Posted: Sep 12, 2008 2:08 PM

Section 14.5 (page 287 onwards) describes a trait called Spec that supports behaviour-driven development. However I can't find this in ScalaTest.

Have I missed something?

Hi Daniel,

Easy to miss. There's a note in the Preface that some of the ScalaTest stuff in the Unit testing chapter will not be released until after the book goes to the printer. It is in the trunk, but not in the current release. Sorry. The problem is if I take a week to do the next ScalaTest release, the book will be delayed by another week. If you want to play with it before then you can grab it from the trunk:

Hi Bill,

I must say that the book is awesome and certainly one of the more accessible technical books that I've come across. I'll get myself a dev-build of ScalaTest to try Spec out. It does look like a good example of how adaptable and expressive Scala can be.

With thanks

Daniel Sheppard
