package Test::Builder::Tester; use strict; our $VERSION = "1.22"; use Test::Builder; use Symbol; use Carp; =head1 NAME Test::Builder::Tester - test testsuites that have been built with Test::Builder =head1 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"); =head1 DESCRIPTION A module that helps you test testing modules that are built with B. 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 C and C in advance to declare what the testsuite you are testing will output with B to stdout and stderr. You then can run the test(s) from your test suite that call B. At this point the output of B is safely captured by B rather than being interpreted as real test output. The final stage is to call C that will simply compare what you predeclared to what B actually outputted, and report the results back with a "ok" or "not ok" (with debugging) to the normal output. =cut #### # set up testing #### my $t = Test::Builder->new; ### # make us an exporter ### use Exporter; our @ISA = qw(Exporter); our @EXPORT = qw(test_out test_err test_fail test_diag test_test line_num); sub import { my $class = shift; my(@plan) = @_; my $caller = caller; $t->exported_to($caller); $t->plan(@plan); my @imports = (); foreach my $idx ( 0 .. $#plan ) { if( $plan[$idx] eq 'import' ) { @imports = @{ $plan[ $idx + 1 ] }; last; } } __PACKAGE__->export_to_level( 1, __PACKAGE__, @imports ); } ### # set up file handles ### # create some private file handles my $output_handle = gensym; my $error_handle = gensym; # and tie them to this package my $out = tie *$output_handle, "Test::Builder::Tester::Tie", "STDOUT"; my $err = tie *$error_handle, "Test::Builder::Tester::Tie", "STDERR"; #### # exported functions #### # for remembering that we're testing and where we're testing at my $testing = 0; my $testing_num; # remembering where the file handles were originally connected my $original_output_handle; my $original_failure_handle; my $original_todo_handle; my $original_test_number; my $original_harness_state; my $original_harness_env; # function that starts testing and redirects the filehandles for now sub _start_testing { # even if we're running under Test::Harness pretend we're not # for now.

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 C or C (or C or C) have been called, all further output from B will be captured by B. This means that you will not be able perform further tests to the normal output in the normal way until you call C (well, unless you manually meddle with the output filehandles) =cut sub test_out { # do we need to do any setup? _start_testing() unless $testing; $out->expect(@_); } sub test_err { # do we need to do any setup? _start_testing() unless $testing; $err->expect(@_); } =item test_fail Because the standard failure message that B 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 C with the string all the time like so test_err("# Failed test ($0 at line ".line_num(+1).")"); C 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"); =cut sub test_fail { # do we need to do any setup? _start_testing() unless $testing; # work out what line we should be on my( $package, $filename, $line ) = caller; $line = $line + ( shift() || 0 ); # prevent warnings # expect that on stderr $err->expect("# Failed test ($0 at line $line)"); } =item test_diag As most of the remaining expected output to the error stream will be created by Test::Builder's C function, B provides a convenience function C that you can use instead of C. The C 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 B'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. =cut sub test_diag { # do we need to do any setup? _start_testing() unless $testing; # expect the same thing, but prepended with "# " local $_; $err->expect( map { "# $_" } @_ ); } =item test_test Actually performs the output check testing the tests, comparing the data (with C) that we have captured from B against that that was declared with C and C. This takes name/value pairs that effect how the test is run. =over =item title (synonym 'name', 'label') The name of the test that will be displayed after the C or C. =item 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 C. =item 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 C. =back 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 C has been run test output will be redirected back to the original filehandles that B was connected to (probably STDOUT and STDERR,) meaning any further tests you run will function normally and cause success/errors for B. =cut sub test_test { # decode the arguments as described in the pod my $mess; my %args; if( @_ == 1 ) { $mess = shift } else { %args = @_; $mess = $args{name} if exists( $args{name} ); $mess = $args{title} if exists( $args{title} ); $mess = $args{label} if exists( $args{label} ); } # er, are we testing? croak "Not testing. You must declare output with a test function first." unless $testing; # okay, reconnect the test suite back to the saved handles $t->output($original_output_handle); $t->failure_output($original_failure_handle); $t->todo_output($original_todo_handle); # restore the test no, etc, back to the original point $t->current_test($testing_num); $testing = 0; # re-enable the original setting of the harness $ENV{HARNESS_ACTIVE} = $original_harness_env; # check the output we've stashed unless( $t->ok( ( $args{skip_out} || $out->check ) && ( $args{skip_err} || $err->check ), $mess ) ) { # print out the diagnostic information about why this # test failed local $_; $t->diag( map { "$_\n" } $out->complaint ) unless $args{skip_out} || $out->check; $t->diag( map { "$_\n" } $err->complaint ) unless $args{skip_err} || $err->check; } } =item 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 C<__LINE__> macro, but the C idiom is arguably nicer. =cut sub line_num { my( $package, $filename, $line ) = caller; return $line + ( shift() || 0 ); # prevent warnings } =back In addition to the six exported functions there exists one function that can only be accessed with a fully qualified function call. =over 4 =item color When C is called and the output that your tests generate does not match that which you declared, C 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 C 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 C 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 C 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 B module like so: perl -Mlib=Text::Builder::Tester::Color test.t Or by including the B module directly in the PERL5LIB. =cut my $color; sub color { $color = shift if @_; $color; } =back =head1 BUGS Calls C<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 B is compatible with your terminal.
