Future, await and Specs2 3.5

[oze...@gmail.com]

Hi there, I have recently upgraded to specs2 v3.5 and I'm having some bad time trying to make some of my test code work when testing Futures.
Sorry, I'm not a scala guru so it may be that this is a scala syntax issue but I don't see how to solve this.

I've read in the user guide that to use the await method I need to have an implicit ExecutionEnvironment.

It works quite well when I have simple test such as this one:

...
import org.specs2.concurrent.ExecutionEnv
...
"MyTest" should {
    "succeed" in { implicit ee: ExecutionEnv =>
        Future.successful(true) must beTrue.await
    }
}
...

but how do you do when you have a Context/Scope object in a code similar to this one:

"MyTest" should {
    "succeed" in new ConfigObj with AnotherObj {
        Future.successful(true) must beTrue.await
    }
}

any clue ?
thanks in advance.
Cheers, ozb

Hi,

This will work

class TestMutableSpec extends mutable.Specification {

  "MyTest" should {

    "succeed" in { implicit ev: ExecutionEnv => new Scope {

      Future.successful(true) must beTrue.await

    }}

  }

}

However with the next release you will be able to write:

class TestMutableSpec(implicit ev: ExecutionEnv) extends mutable.Specification {

  "MyTest" should {

    "succeed" in new Scope {

      Future.successful(true) must beTrue.await

    }

  }

}

You can test that with 3.5-20150429005731-d441bf4.

Ok thanks a lot.
Looking forward to test the new syntax !
