This version adds new features on top of 1.8.2:

  • isolated specifications where each example is executed in its own copy of the specification so that all local variables are re-initialized (an example here)
  • improved the documentation showing that DataTables can be displayed as examples
  • improved the performance of the beMatching matchers by compiling the regex only once
  • added an AllExpectations trait to collect all the expectations of an example instead of stopping after the first failure
  • Mockito can now be used with methods having by-name arguments or implicitly converted arguments
  • added some helper functions and conversions to verify function/partial function parameters with Mockito. Note: the specs2 jar needs to be placed before the Mockito jar on the classpath
  • a Notifier/Exporter can now be specified as an argument for custom reporting of the specification
  • mutable specifications can now be used as acceptance specifications with: paragraphs and formatting fragments, auto-examples, given/when/then style
  • reworked the User Guide titles for better readability and structure
  • the exact type of an exception happening during the execution of an example is now kept for better reporting
  • ScalaCheck properties can now be used inside contexts in a mutable specification
  • added haveKeys and haveValues matchers for Maps
  • added a showAs method to totally control how values are displayed in failure messages. This is especially useful for filtering and displaying large collections or maps: longList.showAs(_.filter(_.startsWith("hi")).mkString("\n")) must have size(100)
  • added a stopOnSkip argument to stop the execution of a specification after the first skipped value
  • added a skipAllIf(condition) argument to skip all the examples if a condition is verified
  • added a checkUrl argument to check that urls in the produced html files are indeed accessible
  • added a confliciting implicit with a method name explaining what is happening if an operator is forgotten for an Example. When trying to compile: "this example won't work" { ko }, the compiler will raise an implicit conflict error with including this message ***If you see this message this means that you've forgotten an operator after the description string: you should write "example" >> result ***

And some fixes:

  • fixed issue 61: proper timing of specifications when examples are executed concurrently
  • fixed issue 63: improper inference for ParserMatchers
  • fixed issue 64: display of the >> operator in the User Guide
  • fixed issue 65: result of and-ed DataTables
  • fixed issue 69: use of aka in matcher adaptation
  • fixed issue 70: used a threadsafe JSON parser for JSON matchers
