NAME

Data::Semantic::Test - Testing Data::Semantic objects

SYNOPSIS

Data::Semantic::Test->new;

DESCRIPTION

This class makes it easy to test new semantic data classes based on Data::Semantic. It uses the Test::CompanionClasses mechanism. So to test the subclass Data::Semantic::URI::http you would write a corresponding Data::Semantic::URI::http_TEST test class. In your test class you need to define the following structure:

use constant TESTDATA => (
    {
        args => {},
        valid => [ qw(
            http://localhost/
            http://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal?entry=12345
        ) ],
        invalid  => [ qw(
            news://localhost/
            http://?123
            https://localhost/
        ) ],
    },
    {
        args => { scheme => 'https?' },
        valid => [ qw(
            http://localhost/
            http://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal?entry=12345
            https://localhost/
            https://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal?entry=12345
        ) ],
        invalid  => [ qw(
            news://localhost/
            http://?123
        ) ],
    },
    {
        args => { scheme => 'https' },
        valid => [ qw(
            https://localhost/
            https://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal?entry=12345
        ) ],
        invalid  => [ qw(
            http://localhost/
            http://use.perl.org/~hanekomu/journal?entry=12345
            http://?123
            news://localhost/
        ) ],
    },
);

So you define one or more scenarios, each within its own hashref within the TESTDATA list. In each scenario you have a list of arguments to pass to the semantic data object constructor. Given those arguments, certain values will be considered valid and others invalid.

See Test::CompanionClasses for more information on how these tests are run.
