How to run specifications sequentially

Question

I want to create few specifications that interoperate with database.

class DocumentSpec extends mutable.Specification with BeforeAfterExample {
  sequential

  d         


        

Answer 1

If you want to run single Specification in specs2 sequentially just add sequential method call at the beginning of your Specification. For example:

class MyTest extends Specification {
  // Set sequential execution
  sequential

  // This tests will be executed sequentially
  "my test" should {
    "add numbers" in {
      (1 + 1) should be equalTo 2
    }

    "multiply numbers" in {
      (2 * 2) should be equalTo 4
    }
  }
} 

UPDATE: As @jsears correctly mentioned in the comments, this will make tests to run sequentially in a single spec! Other specs may still run in parallel.
