Approving case classes in ScalaTest

Question

I see Option support there, but what about custom class classes?

I kind of want to do this:

result match { case SuccessCase(values) => { values.foo should be ("bar") } case FailureCase => // should fail test, but how to say this in ScalaTest? } 

Answer 1

You can use fail () to specifically reject testing, as in the case of FailureCase => fail ("err msg"), but I'm not sure I understand what you are after. Perhaps you can show more code or develop to clarify the question?

Answer 2

DesiredCase this work if you want you to do this DesiredCase ?

 result match { case DesiredCase(values) => {  values.foo should be ("bar") } case _ => { fail("Not DesiredCase") } } 

Answer 3

Bill Venners also suggested writing special matches if you often write such tests:
