Specs2 bindings for Scalaz

Usage

This library is currently available for Scala binary versions 2.10 and 2.11.

To use the latest version, include one of the following in your build.sbt:

// for Scalaz 7.1.x and specs2 2.4
libraryDependencies += "org.typelevel" %% "scalaz-specs2" % "0.3.0" % "test"

ScalazMatchers

With the ScalazMatchers trait you can use your Equal[T] typeclass instance to check the equality of 2 values:

• a must equal(b)

ValidationMatchers

With ValidationMatchers, you can check Validation instances for success or failure:

• 1.success must beSuccessful
• 1.fail must beFailing

You can verify what's the validated value:

• 1.success must beSuccessful (1)
• 1.success must not be successful (2)
• 1.fail must be failing (1)
• 1.fail must not be failing (2)

You can also pattern match on this value

• List(1, 2).success must beSuccessful.like { case 1 :: _ => ok }
• List(1, 2).fail must beFailing.like { case 1 :: _ => ok }

Spec

The following example illustrates how to verify type class instances for your own datatypes under the assumption that they are in scope.

class TryTest extends Spec {

  implicit def TryArbitrary[A](implicit a: Arbitrary[A]): Arbitrary[Try[A]] =
    // ...

  checkAll(monad.laws[Try])
  checkAll(traverse.laws[Try])
  checkAll(plus.laws[Try])
  checkAll(equal.laws[Try[Int]])

}

Internally, it uses ScalaCheck to generate input data.
