#NAME

Test2::Todo - TODO extension for Test2.

#DESCRIPTION

This is an object that lets you create and manage TODO states for tests. This is an extension, not a plugin or a tool. This library can be used by plugins and tools to manage todo states.

If you simply want to write a todo test then you should look at the todo function provided by Test2::Tools::Basic.

#SYNOPSIS

use Test2::Todo;

# Start the todo
my $todo = Test2::Todo->new(reason => 'Fix later');

# Will be considered todo, so suite still passes
ok(0, "oops");

# End the todo
$todo->end;

# TODO has ended, this test will actually fail.
ok(0, "oops");

#CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

#reason (required)

The reason for the todo, this can be any defined value.

#hub (optional)

The hub to which the TODO state should be applied. If none is provided then the current global hub is used.

#INSTANCE METHODS

#$todo->end

End the todo state.

#CLASS METHODS

#$count = Test2::Todo->hub_in_todo($hub)

If the hub has any todo objects this will return the total number of them. If the hub has no todo objects it will return 0.

#OTHER NOTES

#How it works

When an instance is created a filter sub is added to the Test2::Hub. This filter will set the todo and diag_todo attributes on all events as they come in. When the instance is destroyed, or end() is called, the filter is removed.

When a new hub is pushed (such as when a subtest is started) the new hub will inherit the filter, but it will only set diag_todo, it will not set todo on events in child hubs.

#$todo->end is called at destruction

If your $todo object falls out of scope and gets garbage collected, the todo will end.

#Can I use multiple instances?

Yes. The most recently created one that is still active will win.
