Too many arguments for constructor

Question

Trying to learn some Scala.

I have the following classes in my project:

package com.fluentaws

class AwsProvider(val accountId: String, val accountSecret: String) {

 def AwsAccount = new AwsAccount(accountId, accountSecret)

}

class AwsAccount(val accountId : String, val accountSecret : String) {

}

And the following test:

package com.fluentaws

import org.scalatest._

class AwsProvider extends FunSuite {

  test("When providing AwsProvider with AWS Credentials we can retrieve an AwsAccount with the same values") {

    val awsAccountId = "abc"
    val awsAccountSecret = "secret"

    val awsProvider = new AwsProvider(awsAccountId, awsAccountSecret)

    val awsAccount = awsProvider.AwsAccount

    assert(awsAccount.accountId == awsAccountId)
    assert(awsAccount.accountSecret == awsAccountSecret)
  }

}

When my test-suite runs, I get the compile-time error:

too many arguments for constructor AwsProvider: ()com.fluentaws.AwsProvider [error] val awsProvider = new AwsProvider(awsAccountId, awsAccountSecret) [error]

From the error message it looks like it sees a constructor with zero parameters ?

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong here ?

Answer 1

It was a typical rookie mistake. I fixed my test-class' name, because using the same name would shadow the original name, whereby I was actually testing my test's class:

package com.fluentaws

import org.scalatest._

class AwsProviderTestSuite extends FunSuite {

  test("When providing AwsProvider with AWS Credentials we can retrieve an AwsAccount with the same values") {

    val awsAccountId = "abc"
    val awsAccountSecret = "secret"

    val awsProvider = new AwsProvider(awsAccountId, awsAccountSecret)

    val awsAccount = awsProvider.AwsAccount

    assert(awsAccount.accountId == awsAccountId)
    assert(awsAccount.accountSecret == awsAccountSecret)
  }

}

Now it passes.
