NAME

Test::Specio - Test helpers for Specio

VERSION

version 0.28

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Specio qw( test_constraint :vars );

test_constraint(
    t('Foo'), {
        accept => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
        reject => [ 42,    {}, $EMPTY_STRING, $HASH_REF ],
    }
);

DESCRIPTION

This package provides some helper functions and variables for testing Specio types.

EXPORTS

This module provides the following exports:

test_constraint( $type, $tests, [ $describer ] )

This subroutine accepts two arguments. The first should be a Specio type object. The second is hashref which can contain the keys accept and reject. Each key should contain an arrayref of values which the type accepts or rejects.

The third argument is optional. This is a sub reference which will be called to generate a description of the value being tested. This defaults to calling this package's describe sub, but you can provide your own.

describe($value)

Given a value, this subroutine returns a string describing that value in a useful way for test output. It know about the various classes used for the variables exported by this package and will do something intelligent when such a variable.

Variables

This module also exports many variables containing values which are useful for testing constraints. Note that references are always empty unless stated otherwise. You can import these variables individually or import all of them with the :vars import tag.

  • $ZERO

  • $ONE

  • $INT

    An arbitrary positive integer.

  • $NEG_INT

    An arbitrary negative integer.

  • $NUM

    An arbitrary positive non-integer number.

  • $NEG_NUM

    An arbitrary negative non-integer number.

  • $EMPTY_STRING

  • $STRING

    An arbitrary non-empty string.

  • $NUM_IN_STRING

    An arbitrary string which contains a number.

  • $INT_WITH_NL1

    An string containing an integer followed by a newline.

  • $INT_WITH_NL2

    An string containing a newline followed by an integer.

  • $SCALAR_REF

  • $SCALAR_REF_REF

    A reference containing a reference to a scalar.

  • $ARRAY_REF

  • $HASH_REF

  • $CODE_REF

  • $GLOB_REF

  • $FH

    An opened filehandle.

  • $FH_OBJECT

    An opened IO::File object.

  • $REGEX

    A regex created with qr//.

  • $REGEX_OBJ

    A regex created with qr// that was then blessed into class.

  • $FAKE_REGEX

    A non-regex blessed into the Regexp class which Perl uses internally for qr// objects.

  • $OBJECT

    An arbitrary object.

  • $UNDEF

  • $CLASS_NAME

    A string containing a loaded package name.

  • $BOOL_OVERLOAD_TRUE

    An object which overloads boolification to return true.

  • $BOOL_OVERLOAD_FALSE

    An object which overloads boolification to return false.

  • $STR_OVERLOAD_EMPTY

    An object which overloads stringification to return an empty string.

  • $STR_OVERLOAD_FULL

    An object which overloads stringification to return a non-empty string.

  • $STR_OVERLOAD_CLASS_NAME

    An object which overloads stringification to return a loaded package name.

  • $NUM_OVERLOAD_ZERO

  • $NUM_OVERLOAD_ONE

  • $NUM_OVERLOAD_NEG

  • $NUM_OVERLOAD_DECIMAL

  • $NUM_OVERLOAD_NEG_DECIMAL

  • $CODE_OVERLOAD

  • $SCALAR_OVERLOAD

    An object which overloads scalar dereferencing to return a non-empty string.

  • $ARRAY_OVERLOAD

    An object which overloads array dereferencing to return a non-empty array.

  • $HASH_OVERLOAD

    An object which overloads hash dereferencing to return a non-empty hash.

_T::GlobOverload package

This package is defined when you load Test::Specio so you can create your own glob overloading objects. Such objects cannot be exported because the glob they return does not transfer across packages properly.

You can create such a variable like this:

local *FOO;
my $GLOB_OVERLOAD = _T::GlobOverload->new( \*FOO );

If you want to create a glob overloading object that returns filehandle, do this:

local *BAR;
open BAR, '<', $0 or die "Could not open $0 for the test";
my $GLOB_OVERLOAD_FH = _T::GlobOverload->new( \*BAR );
