Inside Tests

Now let's look at a simple test:

package com.packt.courseware.l1
import org.scalatest.FunSuite

class ExampleSpec extends FunSuite {

  test("example test  should pass") {
     assert(1==1)
  }

}

Here, we define a class which is inherited from scalatest FunSuite.

The test expression is called. When the FunSuite class is initialized and added to a set of tests, the test with name example test should pass and assert an expression as an argument. For now, this looks like magic, but we will show you how to build such DSLs in the next chapter.

Let's run our test with the help of sbt:

sbt test

This command will run all tests and evaluate the test expression.

Now, we'll add another test.
