Run specs2 in sbt console

Is it possible to run and try out specs2 in an sbt console? I tried === but that did not work because I assume it is a method in Specification class. I also tried: 

class A extends Specification{ "b" should{ "do" in{ 3 === 4 } } }; (new A).toResult(true)

I'm suspecting the above should work if I know the right method to call, values?

Ideally I'd like it if I can execute single statements but if that is not possible, is there a way to run blocks of this sort?

PS: Is there a non-Fluent interface to specs2?

Solution

  • You can do the following to run expectations in the console:

    import org.specs2._, matcher.MustMatchers._, execute._

def t[R:AsResult](r: =>R) = specs2.run(new Specification { def is = p^s2"test $r" })

// then
t(1 === 2)

[info] Specification
[info]
[error] x test
[error]  '1' is not equal to '2' (file:1)
[info]
[info] Total for specification Specification
[info] Finished in 5 ms
       1 example, 1 failure, 0 error
