Hi All,
Several people have been waiting for a revised ScalaTest 1.0 snapshot
for the 2.8 nightly build. Martin Odersky lept over the tall stack
trace that was thwarting me before with a single bound, and today's
nightly build included that fix. With a few more changes I was able to
get all to compile. I had a bit of trouble running the tests, because
of a missing class from the fork-join library that the actors are
using now. To run it I had to install the 1.6 JVM, which I wasn't yet
using, and then run on the command line using java, not scala. (The
problem there was that I couldn't get ant, scala, etc., to use Java
1.6 for some reason.) So if you see something like:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/util/concurrent/RunnableFuture
Then you'll know you need Java 1.6. I've asked in an earlier email to
the Scala list if there's a library that people using Java 1.5 could
use in the meantime to resolve this dependency.
Anyway, those of you waiting for this need not wait any longer. You
can download it from the usual scala-tools.org Maven repository:
group id: org.scalatest
artifact id: scalatest
version: 1.0-for-scala-2.8.0-SNAPSHOT
This is compiled with today's nightly build:
scala-2.8.0.r18997-b20091009021954
Thanks.
Bill
