An example for using the Outside and AroundOutside traits

gistfile1.scala

/**
 * This object provides a http request to be passed to examples
 */
object http extends Outside[HttpReq] {
  // prepare a valid HttpRequest
  def outside: HttpReq = createRequest
}

/**
 * It is used like that, with the apply method provided by the Outside trait. 
 * The apply method takes a function with one parameter returning a Result
 */
"this is a first example where the code executes uses a http request" ! http((request: HttpReq) => success)
"and another one"                                                     ! http((request: HttpReq) => success)

/**
 * This is not real magic but the apply method takes care of anything that could go wrong during the creation of the
 * "outside" object and will return an Error if an Exception is raised or a Skipped message
 * if a Skipped exception was thrown. Then the rest of the code is not executed
 */ 

/**
 * There is also a combining trait to have both an object being passed to each example but also code executed around
 * each example:
 */ 
 object http extends AroundOutside[HttpReq] {
      // prepare the global environment
      // each example will be executed in that environment
      def around[R <% Result](r: =>R): Result = {
        createNewDatabase
        // execute the code inside a databaseSession
        inDatabaseSession { r }
      }
      // prepare a valid HttpRequest
      def outside: HttpReq = createRequest
    }
