=head1 NAME
Test::Stream::Plugin::Exception - Simple tools to help test exceptions.
=head1 DEPRECATED
B<This distribution is deprecated> in favor of L<Test2>, L<Test2::Suite>, and
L<Test2::Workflow>.
See L<Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2> for a conversion guide.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Loads Exception, we also need 'Core', so load that as well.
use Test::Stream qw/Core Exception/;
ok(lives { ... }, "codeblock did not die");
like(dies { die 'xxx' }, qr/xxx/, "codeblock threw expected exception");
=head1 EXPORTS
=over 4
=item $bool = lives { ... }
If the codeblock does not throw any exception this will return true. If the
codeblock does throw an exception this will return false, after printing the
exception as a warning.
ok(lives { ... }, "codeblock did not die");
=item $error = dies { ... }
This will return undef if the codeblock does not throw an exception, otherwise
it returns the exception. Note, if your exception is an empty string or 0 it is
your responsibility to check that the error is defined instead of using a
simple boolean check.
ok( defined dies { die 0 }, "died" );
like(dies { die 'xxx' }, qr/xxx/, "codeblock threw expected exception");
