How can I force the specs2 tests to stop right after one of the tests failed

Question

I'm testing a play2 project by using specs2. How can I force the test to stop right after one of the tests failed?

Answer 1

You can place args(stopOnFail=true) in your Specification, which will cause all other tests within the spec to be skipped after the first failure. Note that this will only skip remaining tests within the Specification, and not all of the specs.

object TestSpec extends Specification {

    args(stopOnFail=true)

    // fails
    "must fail" in {
        true must beFalse
    }

    // is skipped
    "must be arbitrary" in {
        1 must equalTo(0)
    }
}

I'm not aware of any way to skip all specs after failure. Here's a references for the above: Specs2 Runners
