=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
Test2::Tools - Documentation for Tools.
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Tools are packages that export test functions, typically all related to a
|
|
specific aspect of testing. If you have a couple different categories of
|
|
exports then you may want to break them into separate modules.
|
|
|
|
Tools should export testing functions. Loading tools B<should not> have side
|
|
effects, or alter the behavior of other tools. If you want to alter behaviors
|
|
or create side effects then you probably want to write a L<Test2::Plugin>.

|
=item Why is it called Test2::Tools, and not Test2::Tool?
|
|
|
|
This question arises since Tools is the only namespace in the plural. This is
|
|
because each Plugin should be a distinct unit of functionality, but a Tools
|
|
dist can (and usually should) export several tools. A bundle is also typically
|
|
described as a single unit. Nobody would like Test2::Bundles::Foo.
|
|
|
|
=item Should my tools subclass Test2::Tools?
|
|
|
|
No. Currently this class is empty. Eventually we may want to add behavior, in
|
|
which case we do not want anyone to already be subclassing it.

=head1 HOW DO I WRITE A 'TOOLS' MODULE?
|
|
|
|
It is very easy to write tools:
|
|
|
|
package Test2::Tools::Mine
|
|
use strict;
|
|
use warnings;
|
|
|
|
# All tools should use the context() function.
|
|
use Test2::API qw/context/;
|
|
|
|
our @EXPORTS = qw/ok plan/;
|
|
use base 'Exporter';
|
|
|
|
sub ok($;$) {
|
|
my ($bool, $name) = @_;
|
|
|
|
# All tool functions should start by grabbing a context
|
|
my $ctx = context();
|
|
|
|
# The context is the primary interface for generating events
|
|
$ctx->ok($bool, $name);
|
|
|
|
# When you are done you release the context
|
|
$ctx->release;
|
|
|
|
return $bool ? 1 : 0;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
sub plan {
|
|
my ($max) = @_;
|
|
my $ctx = context();
|
|
$ctx->plan($max);
|
|
$ctx->release;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
1;
|
|
|
|
See L<Test2::API::Context> for documentation on what the C<$ctx> object can do.
