NAME

Kit - vars::i test kit

SYNOPSIS

Test helpers. These make it easier to trap undefined variables using string eval and use strict.

FUNCTIONS

eval_dies_ok

eval_dies_ok "Code string" [, "message"];

Runs the code string; tests that the code died. Any exception will be reported at the same line in the caller as the eval_dies_ok invocation.

eval_lives_ok

eval_lives_ok "Code string" [, "message"];

Runs the code string; tests that the code did not throw an exception.

eval_dies_like

eval_dies_like "Code string", qr/regex/ [, "message"];

Runs the code string; tests that the code threw an exception matching regex.

eval_is_var

eval_is_var '$Package::var', value [, "message"];

Tests that $Package::var exists, and that $Package::var eq value.

line_mark_string

Add a #line directive to a string. Usage:

my $str = line_mark_string <<EOT ;
$contents
EOT

or

my $str = line_mark_string __FILE__, __LINE__, <<EOT ;
$contents
EOT

In the first form, information from caller will be used for the filename and line number.

The #line directive will point to the line after the line_mark_string invocation, i.e., the first line of <C$contents>. Generally, $contents will be source code, although this is not required.

$contents must be defined, but can be empty.

import

Exports the functions using Exporter --- all functions are exported by default. Also loads Test::More into the caller.
