scalatest-maven-plugin: Ignore aborted?

[imre...@knowit.no]

Hi,
I have some tests that need a database connection, so I put

before {
  assume(databaseAvailable)
}

in my suite. This correctly aborts that suite, but results in a failed build. At the same time, I don't want the build to succeed when I have actual failing tests. Is there something like testFailureIgnore, but which only ignores aborted tests, and not failed ones?

Hi,

Yes, instead of using a before clause, override withFixture. This will cause a test to be canceled instead of the suite aborted.

The difference between before/after code and withFixture is before code happens *before* the test. Whereas withFixture allows you to insert setup code *at the beginning (or end) of a test. So the test has already started by the time withFixture is invoked, thus you can just cancel that test with an assume. Since the test has *not* yet started when before code is executed, there is no test execution yet to invoke, so the suite aborts instead.

override def withFixture(test: NoArgTest): Outcome = {

  assume(databaseAvailable)

  test()
}
