NAME
Test::Stream::DeepCheck::Meta - Base class for deep structure checks.
EXPERIMENTAL CODE WARNING
This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.
PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.
DESCRIPTION
This package lets you add meta-checks against a datastructure (what type it is, etc). This is used in addition to structure specific tests such as array elements, hash fields, object methods, etc.
METHODS
- $meta->add_meta($name, $check)
-
Add a meta check, the name is used for debugging, the check should be an instance of Test::Stream::DeepCheck::Check.
- $meta->verify_meta($got, $state)
-
Run the checks against
$gotusing the providedTest::Stream::DeepCheck::Stateobject to track things. - $arrayref = $meta->meta
-
Get the arrayref of meta-checks
- $dbg = $meta->debug
-
File+Line info for the state. This will be an Test::Stream::DebugInfo object.
