test-for
# ...
$test->for('name');

This framework provides a set of automated subtests based on the package specification, but not everything can be automated so it also provides you with powerful hooks into the framework for manual testing.

# ...
$test->for('synopsis', sub {
my ($tryable) = @_;
my $result = $tryable->result;
# must return truthy to continue
$result;
});

The code examples documented can be automatically evaluated (evaled) and returned using a callback you provide for further testing. Because the code examples are returned as Venus::Try objects this makes capturing and testing exceptions simple, for example:

# ...
$test->for('synopsis', sub {
my ($tryable) = @_;
# catch exception thrown by the synopsis
$tryable->catch('Path::Find::Error', sub {
return $_[0];
});
# test the exception
my $result = $tryable->result;
ok $result->isa('Path::Find::Error'), 'exception caught';
# must return truthy to continue
$result;
});

Additionally, another manual testing hook (with some automation) is the example method. This hook evaluates (evals) a given example and returns the result as a Venus::Try object. The first argument is the example ID (or number), for example:

# ...
$test->for('example', 1, 'children', sub {
my ($tryable) = @_;
my $result = $tryable->result;
# must return truthy to continue
$result;
});

Finally, the lesser-used but useful manual testing hook is the feature method. This hook evaluates (evals) a documented feature and returns the result as a Venus::Try object, for example:

# ...
$test->for('feature', 'export-path-make', sub {
my ($tryable) = @_;
ok my $result = $tryable->result, 'result ok';
# must return truthy to continue
$result;
});

The test automation and documentation generation enabled through this framework makes it easy to maintain source/test/documentation parity. This also increases reusability and reduces the need for complicated state and test setup.
