NAMETest::Builder::Tester − test testsuites that have been built with Test::Builder
SYNOPSIS use Test::Builder::Tester tests => 1;
use Test::More;
test_out("not ok 1 − foo");
test_fail(+1);
fail("foo");
test_test("fail works");
DESCRIPTIONA module that helps you test testing modules that are built with Test::Builder. The testing system is designed to be used by performing a three step process for each test you wish to test. This process starts with using test_out and test_err in advance to declare what the testsuite you are testing will output with Test::Builder to stdout and stderr. You then can run the test(s) from your test suite that call Test::Builder. At this point the output of Test::Builder is safely captured by Test::Builder::Tester rather than being interpreted as real test output. The final stage is to call test_test that will simply compare what you predeclared to what Test::Builder actually outputted, and report the results back with a ‟ok” or ‟not ok” (with debugging) to the normal output.
FunctionsThese are the six methods that are exported as default. test_out test_err Procedures for predeclaring the output that your test suite is expected to produce until test_test is called. These procedures automatically assume that each line terminates with ‟\n”. So test_out("ok 1","ok 2");
is the same as test_out("ok 1\nok 2");
which is even the same as test_out("ok 1");
test_out("ok 2");
Once test_out or test_err (or test_fail or test_diag) have been called, all further output from Test::Builder will be captured by Test::Builder::Tester. This means that you will not be able perform further tests to the normal output in the normal way until you call test_test (well, unless you manually meddle with the output filehandles) test_fail Because the standard failure message that Test::Builder produces whenever a test fails will be a common occurrence in your test error output, and because it has changed between Test::Builder versions, rather than forcing you to call test_err with the string all the time like so test_err("# Failed test ($0 at line ".line_num(+1).")");
test_fail exists as a convenience function that can be called instead. It takes one argument, the offset from the current line that the line that causes the fail is on. test_fail(+1);
This means that the example in the synopsis could be rewritten more simply as: test_out("not ok 1 − foo");
test_fail(+1);
fail("foo");
test_test("fail works");
test_diag As most of the remaining expected output to the error stream will be created by Test::Builder's diag function, Test::Builder::Tester provides a convenience function test_diag that you can use instead of test_err. The test_diag function prepends comment hashes and spacing to the start and newlines to the end of the expected output passed to it and adds it to the list of expected error output. So, instead of writing test_err("# Couldn't open file");
you can write test_diag("Couldn't open file");
Remember that Test::Builder's diag function will not add newlines to the end of output and test_diag will. So to check Test::Builder−>new−>diag("foo\n","bar\n");
You would do test_diag("foo","bar")
without the newlines. test_test Actually performs the output check testing the tests, comparing the data (with eq) that we have captured from Test::Builder against what was declared with test_out and test_err. This takes name/value pairs that effect how the test is run. title (synonym 'name', 'label') The name of the test that will be displayed after the ok or not ok. skip_out Setting this to a true value will cause the test to ignore if the output sent by the test to the output stream does not match that declared with test_out. skip_err Setting this to a true value will cause the test to ignore if the output sent by the test to the error stream does not match that declared with test_err. As a convenience, if only one argument is passed then this argument is assumed to be the name of the test (as in the above examples.) Once test_test has been run test output will be redirected back to the original filehandles that Test::Builder was connected to (probably STDOUT and STDERR,) meaning any further tests you run will function normally and cause success/errors for Test::Harness. line_num A utility function that returns the line number that the function was called on. You can pass it an offset which will be added to the result. This is very useful for working out the correct text of diagnostic functions that contain line numbers. Essentially this is the same as the _ _LINE_ _ macro, but the line_num(+3) idiom is arguably nicer. In addition to the six exported functions there exists one function that can only be accessed with a fully qualified function call. color When test_test is called and the output that your tests generate does not match that which you declared, test_test will print out debug information showing the two conflicting versions. As this output itself is debug information it can be confusing which part of the output is from test_test and which was the original output from your original tests. Also, it may be hard to spot things like extraneous whitespace at the end of lines that may cause your test to fail even though the output looks similar. To assist you test_test can colour the background of the debug information to disambiguate the different types of output. The debug output will have its background coloured green and red. The green part represents the text which is the same between the executed and actual output, the red shows which part differs. The color function determines if colouring should occur or not. Passing it a true or false value will enable or disable colouring respectively, and the function called with no argument will return the current setting. To enable colouring from the command line, you can use the Text::Builder::Tester::Color module like so: perl −Mlib=Text::Builder::Tester::Color test.t
Or by including the Test::Builder::Tester::Color module directly in the PERL5LIB.
BUGSTest::Builder::Tester does not handle plans well. It has never done anything special with plans. This means that plans from outside Test::Builder::Tester will effect Test::Builder::Tester, worse plans when using Test::Builder::Tester will effect overall testing. At this point there are no plans to fix this bug as people have come to depend on it, and Test::Builder::Tester is now discouraged in favor of Test2::API::intercept(). See <https://github.com/Test−More/test−more/issues/667> Calls Test::Builder−>no_ending turning off the ending tests. This is needed as otherwise it will trip out because we've run more tests than we strictly should have and it'll register any failures we had that we were testing for as real failures. The color function doesn't work unless Term::ANSIColor is compatible with your terminal. Additionally, Win32::Console::ANSI must be installed on windows platforms for color output. Bugs (and requests for new features) can be reported to the author though GitHub: <https://github.com/Test−More/test−more/issues>
