NAME

Email::Sender::Transport::Test - deliver mail in memory for testing

VERSION

version 1.500

DESCRIPTION

This transport is meant for testing email deliveries in memory. It will store a record of any delivery made so that they can be inspected afterward.

PERL VERSION SUPPORT

This module has a long-term perl support period. That means it will not require a version of perl released fewer than five years ago.

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

ATTRIBUTES

deliveries

By default, the Test transport will not allow partial success and will always succeed. It can be made to fail predictably, however, if it is extended and its recipient_failure or delivery_failure methods are overridden. These methods are called as follows:

$self->delivery_failure($email, $envelope);

$self->recipient_failure($to);

If they return true, the sending will fail. If the transport was created with a true allow_partial_success attribute, recipient failures can cause partial success to be returned.

For more flexible failure modes, you can override more aggressively or can use Email::Sender::Transport::Failable.

This attribute stores an arrayref of all the deliveries made via the transport. The clear_deliveries method returns a list of them.

Each delivery is a hashref, in the following format:

{
  email     => $email,
  envelope  => $envelope,
  successes => \@ok_rcpts,
  failures  => \@failures,
}

Both successful and failed deliveries are stored.

A number of methods related to this attribute are provided:

  • delivery_count

  • clear_deliveries

  • shift_deliveries
