NAME

Test::FailWarnings - Add test failures if warnings are caught

VERSION

version 0.008

SYNOPSIS

Test file:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
use Test::FailWarnings;

ok( 1, "first test" );
ok( 1 + "lkadjaks", "add non-numeric" );

done_testing;

Output:

ok 1 - first test
not ok 2 - Test::FailWarnings should catch no warnings
#   Failed test 'Test::FailWarnings should catch no warnings'
#   at t/bin/main-warn.pl line 7.
# Warning was 'Argument "lkadjaks" isn't numeric in addition (+) at t/bin/main-warn.pl line 7.'
ok 3 - add non-numeric
1..3
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.

DESCRIPTION

This module hooks $SIG{__WARN__} and converts warnings to Test::More fail() calls. It is designed to be used with done_testing, when you don't need to know the test count in advance.

Just as with Test::NoWarnings, this does not catch warnings if other things localize $SIG{__WARN__}, as this is designed to catch unhandled warnings.

USAGE

Overriding $SIG{__WARN__}

On import, $SIG{__WARN__} is replaced with Test::FailWarnings::handler.

use Test::FailWarnings;  # global

If you don't want global replacement, require the module instead and localize in whatever scope you want.

require Test::FailWarnings;

{
    local $SIG{__WARN__} = \&Test::FailWarnings::handler;
    # ... warnings will issue fail() here
}

When the handler reports on the source of the warning, it will look past any calling packages starting with Carp or warnings to try to detect the real origin of the warning.

Allowing warnings from dependencies

If you want to ignore failures from outside your own code, you can set $Test::FailWarnings::ALLOW_DEPS to a true value. You can do that on the use line with -allow_deps.

use Test::FailWarnings -allow_deps => 1;

When true, warnings will only be thrown if they appear to originate from a filename matching qr/^(?:t|xt|lib|blib)/

Allowing warnings from specific modules

If you want to white-list specific modules only, you can add their package names to @Test::NoWarnings::ALLOW_FROM. You can do that on the use line with -allow_from.

use Test::FailWarnings -allow_from => [ qw/Annoying::Module/ ];

SEE ALSO

  • Test::NoWarnings -- catches warnings and reports in an END block. Not (yet) friendly with done_testing.

  • Test::Warnings -- a replacement for Test::NoWarnings that works with done_testing

  • Test::Warn -- test for warnings without triggering failures from this modules
