beforeAll() called only AFTER all tests

[Markus Kahl]

Hey,

I've got the problem, that beforeAll() is not called before all at all.

Here's how my codes looks:

    trait IntegrationTest extends BeforeAndAfterEach with BeforeAndAfterAll { self: Suite => ... }

    trait ApiSpec extends FunSpec with IntegrationTest with ApiAccess with Matchers { ... }

    class UsersSpec extends ApiSpec {

      describe("A") { ... }

      describe("B") { ... }

    }

Now when I run UsersSpec what I would expect is that #beforeAll() is called before A and B.

What happens, though, is that A and B are run and only after that is #beforeAll() called.

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Markus,

The beforeAll code will execute before all tests. But in a FunSpec, tests are defined with it, not describe. Describe defines a "scope" that groups tests. The body of the describe clauses run when the test class is instantiated, so that happens first. Any it clauses that it contains will cause tests to be registered at construction time, but those bodies aren't executed until later when run is called. Later, when run is called, beforeAll will be executed before all of the tests. This is I think what you're looking for:

trait IntegrationTest extends BeforeAndAfterEach with BeforeAndAfterAll { self: Suite => ... }

    trait ApiSpec extends FunSpec with IntegrationTest with ApiAccess with Matchers { ... }

    class UsersSpec extends ApiSpec {

      it("A") { ... }

      it("B") { ... }

    }
