NAME

DBICx::TestDatabase::Subclass - a DBICx::TestDatabase you can add your own methods to

SYNOPSIS

Your test database subclass:

            

              
              
package MyApp::TestDatabase
use base qw(DBICx::TestDatabase::Subclass MyApp::Schema);
sub foo { 
   my $self = shift;
   return $self->resultset('Foo')->create({ foo => 'bar' });
}
            
          

Later:

            

              
              
use MyApp::TestDatabase;
my $schema = MyApp::TestDatabase->connect;
my $foo_row = $schema->foo; # MyApp::TestDatabase::foo
my $bars = $schema->resultset('Bar'); # MyApp::Schema::resultset
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes DBICx::TestDatabase doesn't give you enough control over the object returned. This module lets you create a custom test database class.

METHODS

connect

This method creates the temporary database and returns the connection. If your subclass needs to change the way connect works, do something like this:

            

              
              
sub connect {
    my ($class) = @_;
    say 'This happens before we create the test database.';
    my $schema = $class->next::method;
    say '$schema is the temporary test database';
    
    return $schema;
}
            
          

SEE ALSO

If you want a simple test database based on a DBIC schema, just use DBICx::TestDatabase.
