Play2: How to do execute piece of code before each test using specs2

Question

I have this code:

class AccountSpec extends Specification {


    def fakeApp = FakeApplication(additionalConfiguration = inMemoryDatabase())

    "Every account" should {

        "have a user" in running(fakeApp) {

            Account.create("Basic account", "username")
            ...
            etc...
        }
    }
}

If i try to run this spec I will get an error, because there is no user with a username "username". So what I would like to do is:

def before = { createTestUser() }

i have tried different approaches but havent found a solution yet.

Answer 1

Just extend from this trait org.specs2.mutable.BeforeAfter, it comes with before and after methods, implement them, here is a link to documentation docs
