Scala IDE: object scalatest is not a member of package org


I'm trying to use Scala IDE. I'm totally new to Scala.

HelloSpec.scala:

import org.scalatest._

class HelloSpec extends FlatSpec with Matchers {
  "The Hello object" should "say hello" in {
    Hello.greeting shouldEqual "hello"
  }
}

import org.scalatest._ is marked by an error:

object scalatest is not a member of package org

I've tried to google it a lot but still don't understand what's wrong. My project structure looks right:

src/main/scala:
----Hello.scala
src/test/scala:
----HelloSpec.scala
build.sbt
plugins.sbt

build.sbt:

import Dependencies._

ThisBuild / scalaVersion     := "2.12.8"
ThisBuild / version          := "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
ThisBuild / organization     := "com.example"
ThisBuild / organizationName := "example"

lazy val root = (project in file("."))
  .settings(
    name := "$name$",
    libraryDependencies += scalaTest % Test
  )

plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbteclipse" % "sbteclipse-plugin" % "4.0.0")

I haven't build the project BTW. Is that could be the reason? I don't know how to build the project from Scala IDE, and if I build it from Windows Command Prompt then it doesn't influence Scala IDE.


Solution

  • I assume your project structure is as below,

    src/
      main/
        resources/
           <files to include in main jar here>
        scala/
           <main Scala sources>
      test/
        resources
           <files to include in test jar here>
        scala/
           <test Scala sources>
    build.sbt
    plugins.sbt
    

    This is simple hello class

    object Hello {
      def greeting: String = {
        "hello"
      }
    }
    

    I created the unit testing as below

    import org.scalatest._
    
    class HelloSpec extends FlatSpec with Matchers {
      "The Hello object" should "say hello" in {
        Hello.greeting shouldEqual "hello"
      }
    }
    

    So, you need just to add scala test in dependcies. Below is simply sbt file

    name := "Hello Test"
    version := "0.1"
    scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
    libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
      "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.0.6" % "test")
