[ANN] ScalaTest 1.0 Released

Why in this case private field for "str"
class Foo(str: String) {
val len = str.length
def getLen = len
def getStr = str
}

will be generated

public class Foo implements ScalaObject
{
private final int len;
private final String str;
public Foo(String str)
{
this.str = str;
super();
len = str.length();
}

public String getStr()
{
return str;
}

public int getLen()
{
return len();
}

public int len()
{
return len;
}
...
}

But in this case
class Foo(str: String) {
val len = str.length
def getLen = len
}

will not be generated

public class Foo implements ScalaObject
{

private final int len;

public Foo(String str)
{
len = str.length();
}

public int getLen()
{
return len();
}

public int len()
{
return len;
}
...
}

Why it is allowed to point to constructor's parameters from some method?
Why there is no compile-time error in the first example on the next
line?
def getStr = str

Congrats. Great job. ScalaTest is my first choice.

Because it's extremely convenient?

Congrats. BTW, does it also work under Scala-2.8.0 ?

Because getStr needs to evaluate str whenever it is called. That
seems a reasonable use of a field to me.

>    val len = str.length

Because the value of it would never be read.

> Why it is allowed to point to constructor's parameters from some method?

Because those are parameters to the class, and are thus in scope for the class.

> Why there is no compile-time error in the first example on the next

> def getStr = str

Because str is in scope.

The real question is probably why Scala has this feature. The feature
removes a lot of repetitive code.

Congrats. BTW, does it also work under Scala-2.8.0 ?

Hi Caoyuan,

Yes, there's a SNAPSHOT of ScalaTest 1.0 for Scala 2.8.0. I forgot to
include the info on how to get that SNAPSHOT on the download page.
I'll add it. You have to get it from the scala-tools.org Maven
repository:

group id: org.scalatest
artifact id: scalatest
version: 1.0-for-scala-2.8.0-SNAPSHOT

Thanks.

Bill

Is there a version of scalacheck that works as well with 2.8.0?

Hi Eric,

I have one that I compile against, but it needs to be updated. I think
Rickard has made new ones since then. I've CC'd him. Rickard, can you
point us to the most recent ScalaCheck build for Scala 2.8?

Thanks.

Bill

Hi,

The current 2.8 branch of ScalaCheck does not build with the current
Scala trunk, since there was a change in Scala's array implementation,
but I will fix this ASAP (hopefully tonight, CEST). I will then
publish ScalaCheck 1.7-SNAPSHOT on
http://scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots :

group id: org.scala-tools.testing
artifact id: scalacheck_2.8.0-SNAPSHOT
version: 1.7-SNAPSHOT

Regards,
Rickard

Hi Bill,

this looks and sounds great, but it's not compatible with Scala 2.8, is it?

Hi Philip,

There's a snapshot for 2.8. Here's the info:

group id: org.scalatest
artifact id: scalatest
version: 1.0-for-scala-2.8.0-SNAPSHOT

It is for this nightly build:

scala-2.8.0.r18997-b20091009021954

I will be adding the revision to the SNAPSHOT name soon, and also put
this info on the download page of the scalatest.org website (I forgot
to do this yesterday).

Thanks.

And on which repo? It's not on Central, of course ...

Hi Philip,

Sorry, forgot to include the repo. It is on scala-tools.org, but in
the snapshots area:

http://www.scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots/org/scalatest/scalatest/1.0-fo...

Thanks.
