When running SBT tests, what is the meaning of the different stats?

Question

When running Scalatest and JUnit tests in SBT I receive a short summary at the end:

Passed: Total 1359, Failed 0, Errors 0, Passed 1358, Skipped 1, Ignored 13, Pending 1

I understand the meaning of the Total count, passed and ignored tests. But what is the meaning of:

• Skipped?. It looks like Ignored but there must be some difference.
• Pending?. Aren't all the tests processed when the summary is given?
• Difference between Failed and Errors?

Answer 1

Here is an explanation:

• Passed means the test has run successfully.

• Ignored means the test has been tagged as ignored, probably because it needs to be fixed.

• Skipped means the assume condition is not satisfied, and the test is not run. More information

• Pending, the test needs to be written. More information.

• Difference between failed/error: I'm not sure, but a failed test is a test that has a failed assertion (TestFailedException when using ScalaTest), whereas an error is an unexpected exception.

• Total count is the sum of:

  • Passed
  • Pending
  • Failed
  • Error
