NAME

Test::Deep::NumberTolerant - A Test::Deep plugin for testing numbers within a tolerance range

VERSION

version 0.002

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Test::More;
use Test::Deep;
use Test::Deep::NumberTolerant;
cmp_deeply(
    {
        counter => 123,
    },
    {
        counter => within_tolerance(100, plus_or_minus => 50),
    },
    'counter field is 100 plus or minus 50',
);

DESCRIPTION

This is a Test::Deep plugin that provides the sub within_tolerance to indicate that the data being tested matches the equivalent tolerance(...) value from Number::Tolerant.

I wrote this because I found myself doing this a lot:


            

              
              
cmp_deeply(
    $thing,
    methods(
        delete_time => methods(epoch => code( sub { $_[0] == tolerance(time(), offset => (-2,0)) || (0, "got $_[0], expected ", time()) } )),
    ),
    'object has been deleted',
);

With this module, this can be simplified to the much more readable:


            

              
              
cmp_deeply(
    $thing,
    methods(
        delete_time => methods(epoch => within_tolerance(time(), offset => (-2,0))),
    ),
    'object has been deleted',
);

(Note that for the simple plus_or_minus case, you can also use "num" in Test::Deep.)

FUNCTIONS

within_tolerance

Exported by default; to be used within a Test::Deep comparison function such as cmp_deeply. Accepted arguments are the same as for "tolerance" in Number::Tolerant.
