Hi David,
Thanks. I appreciate that. I was actually already planning to request
getting some ScalaTest examples in the Lift archetypes right after
ScalaTest 1.0 comes out (on Oct 12, if all goes as planned), and have
already arranged with David Bernard to put ScalaTest examples into
simple-archetype-simple.
I think it is great that we have three decent Scala-specific testing
tools already, specs, ScalaTest, and ScalaCheck, plus the trusty Java
tools JUnit and TestNG. People have a lot of choice, so it is good
that the archetypes would show some of the options. I would also
suggest we include a ScalaCheck example in the archetypes as well. I
can use ScalaCheck from one of the ScalaTest examples I submit if you
like that idea. The downside is that it would add one more dependency,
but really I think people should find out about ScalaCheck.
Bill
