Running specs from in a Scala 'script'

[crankydillo]

Hi,

I know it sounds crazy, but I'm trying to run specs as a script, e.g.
scala -cp specs.jar MyScript. The specifications are defined within
MyScript.

object Spec1 extends Specification {
"a" should {
"b" in {} // this works fine if by itself
"c" in {} // now it goes crazy and runs my Spec1 a bunch of
times

}
val specs = List(Spec1)
val runner = new ConsoleRunner();
runner.report(specs)

It also happens if I add "d" should {}.

Any ideas on how to get this to work nicely is greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm not sure which version you're using, can you please make sure
you're trying the latest version?

Otherwise, specifications can be executed right away to the Console

because they have a main method. So you should be able to write:

object Spec1 extends Specification {
"a" should {
"b" in {}

"c" in {}
}

Spec1.main(Array[String]())

Eric.

I've tried 1.6.5 and 1.6.7. I'll look for a newer version and try
your case tomorrow. Many thanks!

Cool, I didn't know that.

I tried this and got the same behavior. I used Scala 2.8.1 and specs
1.6.7. Did you try your snippet using:

> scala -cp lib\* SpecScript

?

I've already got compile -> run going, so I'm not overly concerned. I
was just trying to show off how Scala could be used as a scripting
tool.

Yes, I confirm what you saw. I guess it has to do with the way new
instances are instantiated in the interpreter because when I add
"shareVariables" at the beginning of the specification it works fine.
