Doing something before or after all Scalatest tests

Question

I have a suite of scalatest tests that test different endpoints of a RESTful API. I really want them separated into different files for best organization.

My problem

Ok, found a way. It seems (unless someone here can correct me) that Scalatest does not have the facility of a "master" suite. But... you can kinda build one.

You can compose a suite from traits. So using my endpoint example:

class EndpointTests extends FunSpec with MustMatchers with BeforeAndAfterAll 
      with Foo with Bar {
        override def beforeAll(configMap: Map[String, Any]) {
            println("Before!")  // start up your web server or whatever
        }

        override def afterAll(configMap: Map[String, Any]) {
            println("After!")  // shut down the web server
        }   
}

Ok, but what about the tests? Notice the with Foo with Bar. I'm bringing the dependent tests in as traits. See here:

trait Foo extends FunSpec with MustMatchers {
    describe("Message here...") {
        it("Must do something") {  }
        it("Must be ok") {  }
    }
}

trait Bar extends FunSpec with MustMatchers { 
    describe("Hello you...") {
        it("One more!") {  }
    }
}
