Programmatically adding new tests via ScalaTest

Question

I have a set of input cases stored in a file.

I would like each case to be a specific scalatest "test", i.e., reported in the console as an individual test and failed individually.

Unfortunately, experimentation and Google suggest that this capability might not be present?

E.g., this seems to be the common case (eliding for simplicity)

class MyTestingGoop extends FunSuite {
   val input : Seq[SpecificTestCase] = ...
   test("input data test") {
      forAll(input) { case => ... } 
   }
   //...
}

Ideally, each case presents as a separate test. How can this be done with ScalaTest?

Answer 1

You can do this:

class MyTestingGoop extends FunSuite {
  val input : Seq[SpecificTestCase] = ...

  forAll(input) {
    test("testing input" + input) {
       // do something with the test
    }
  }
}

The only limit is that input has a unique toString.

Basically calling test in Funsuite registers the test and later runs it so as long as your test creation is done as part of the class construction and each test has a unique string, you should be fine.
