NAME
Test::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable - utilities to aid in testing of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable modules
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More;
use Test::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable;
my $bot = Test::Bot::BasicBot->new();
$bot->load('MyModule');
is ( $bot->tell_direct('foo'), 'bar');
is ( $bot->tell_indirect('foo'), 'bar');
is ( $bot->tell_private('foo'), 'bar');
DESCRIPTION
Test::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable was written to provide a minimalistic testing bot in order to write cleaner unit tests for Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable modules.
SUBROUTINES/METHODS
new
Creates a new Test::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable object, which is basically just a subclass of Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable with a few special methods. The default nickname is 'test_bot' and it contains a in-memory store instead of sqlite. It takes the same arguments as Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable.
INSTANCE METHODS
tell_direct
Sends the provided string to the bot like it was send directly to the bot in a public channel. The channel is called '#test' and the sending user 'test_user'.
test_user@#test> test_bot: foo
tell_indirect
Sends the provided string to the bot like it was send to a public channel without addressing. The channel is called '#test' and the sending user 'test_user'.
test_user@#test> foo
tell_private
Sends the provided string to the bot like it was send in a private channel. The sending user 'test_user'.
test_user@test_bot> foo
tell
This is the working horse of Test::Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable. It basically builds a message hash as argument to the bots said() function. You should never have to call it directly.
connect
Dispatch the connected event to all loaded modules without actually connecting to anything.
DESTROY
The special subrouting is explicitly overriden with an empty subroutine as otherwise AUTOLOAD in Bot::BasicBot will be called for it.
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
There are no methods to test join, part and emote.
