NAME

Test::Module::Runnable - A runnable framework on Moose for running tests

SYNOPSIS

package YourTestSuite;
use Moose;
use Test::More 0.96;

extends 'Test::Module::Runnable';

sub helper { } # Not called

sub testExample { } # Automagically called due to 'test' prefix.

package main;

my $tester = new YourTestSuite;
plan tests => $tester->testCount;
foreach my $name ($tester->testMethods) {
  subtest $name => $tester->$name;
}

alternatively...

my $tester = new YourTestSuite;
return $tester->run;

DESCRIPTION

A test framework based on Moose introspection to automagically call all methods matching a user-defined pattern. Supports per-test setup and tear-down routines and easy early "BAIL_OUT" in Test::Builder using Test::More.

ATTRIBUTES

sut

System under test - a generic slot for an object you are testing, which could be re-initialized under the setUp routine, but this entry may be ignored.

PRIVATE ATTRIBUTES

__unique_default_domain

The internal default domain value. This is used when unique is called without a domain, because a key cannot be undef in Perl.

__unique

Tracks the counter returned by unique. Always contains the previous value returned, or zero before any calls. A hash is used to support multiple domains.

__random

Hash of random numbers already given out.

METHODS

setUpBeforeClass

Placeholder method called before any test method is called, in order for you to initialize your tests.

unique

Returns a unique, integer ID, which is predictable.

An optional $domain can be specified, which is a discrete sequence, isolated from anhy other domain. If not specified, a default domain is used. The actual name for this domain is opaque, and is specified by "__unique_default_domain".

A special domain; rand can be used for random numbers which will not repeat.

pattern

The pattern which defines which user-methods are considered tests. Defaults to ^test Methods matching this pattern will be returned from "methodNames"

logger

A generic slot for a loggger, to be initialized with your logging framework, or a mock logging system.

This slot is not touched by this package, but might be passed on to your "sut", or you may wish to clear it between tests by sub-classing this package.

mocker

This slot can be used during "setUpBeforeClass" to set up a Test::MockModule for the sut class being tested. If set, mocker-unmock_all()> will be called automagically, just after each test method is executed. This will allow different methods to to be mocked, which are not directly relevant to the test method being executed.

By default, this slot is undef

methodNames

Returns a list of all names of test methods which should be called by subtest, ie. all method names beginning with 'test', or the user-defined pattern.

If you use run, this is handled automagically.

methodCount

Returns the number of tests to pass to plan If you use run, this is handled automagically.

run

Executes all of the tests, in a random order An optional override may be passed with the tests parameter.

* tests
  An ARRAY ref which contains the inclusive list of all tests
  to run.  If not passed, all tests are run. If an empty list
  is passed, no tests are run.  If a test does not exist, C<confess>
  is called.

* n
  Number of times to iterate through the tests.
  Defaults to 1.  Setting to a higher level is useful if you want to
  prove that the random ordering of tests does not break, but you do
  not want to type 'make test' many times.

Returns: The return value is always EXIT_SUCCESS, which you can pass straight to exit

debug

Call Test::Builder::diag with a user-defined message, if and only if the TEST_VERBOSE environment variable is set.

mock($class, $method, $return)

This mocks the given method on the specified class, with the specified return value, described below. Additionally, stores internally a log of all method calls, and their arguments. Note that the first argument is not saved, i.e. the object on which the method was called, as this is rarely useful in a unit test comparison.

The return value, $return, may be specified in one of two ways:

A CODE reference

In which case the code reference is simply called each time, with all arguments as passed to the mocked function, and the return value passed as-is to the caller. Note that care is taken that if the mocked method is called in array context, the code reference is called in array context, and likewise for scalar context.

An ARRAY reference

In which case, a value is shifted from the front of the array. If the value removed is itself a CODE ref the code reference is called, and its return value returned, as described above, otherwise the value is returned as-is.

Note that you cannot return a list by adding it to an array, so if you need to use the array form, and also return a list, you will need to add a CODE reference into the array:

 $self->mock($class, $method, [
   1,                       # first call returns scalar '1'
   [2,3,4],                 # second call returns array reference
   sub { return (5,6,7) },  # third call returns a list
]);

If no value is specified, or if the specified array is exhaused, then either undef or an empty array is returned, depending on context.

Calls including arguments and return values are passed to the debug() method.

unmock([class], [$method])

Clears all mock objects.

If no arguments are specified clearMocks is called.

Is a class is specified, only that class is cleared.

If a method is specified too, only that method of that mocked class is cleared (not methods by the same name under other classes).

It is not legal to unmock a method in many or unspecified classes, doing so will invoke die().

The reference to the the tester is returned.

_mockdump

Helper method for dumping arguments and return values from mock function.

mockCalls($class, $method)

Return a reference to an array of the calls made to the specified mocked function. Each entry in the arrayref is an arrayref of the arguments to that call, excluding the object reference itself (i.e. $self).

mockCallsWithObject($class, $method)

Return a reference to an array of the calls made to the specified mocked function. Each entry in the arrayref is an arrayref of the arguments to that call, including the object reference itself (i.e. $self).

This method is strongly encouraged in preference to "mockCalls($class, $method)" if your test constructs multiple instances of the same class, so that you know that the right method calls were actually made on the right object.

Normal usage:

cmp_deeply($self->mockCallsWithObject($class, $method), [
  [ shallow($instance1), $arg1, $arg2 ],
  [ shallow($instance2), $otherArg1, $otherArg2 ],
  ...
], 'correct method calls');
clearMocks

Forcibly clear all mock objects, if required e.g. in tearDown.

__mockCalls

Helper method used by "mockCalls($class, $method)" and "mockCallsWithObject($class, $method)".
