=head1 DESCRIPTION
-If you're just getting started writing tests, have a look at
-Test::Simple first.
+B<STOP!> If you're just getting started writing tests, have a look at
+Test::Simple first. This is a drop in replacement for Test::Simple
+which you can switch to once you get the hang of basic testing.
-This module provides a very wide range of testing utilities. Various
-ways to say "ok", facilities to skip tests, test future features
-and compare complicated data structures.
+The purpose of this module is to provide a wide range of testing
+utilities. Various ways to say "ok" with better diagnostics,
+facilities to skip tests, test future features and compare complicated
+data structures. While you can do almost anything with a simple
+C<ok()> function, it doesn't provide good diagnostic output.
=head2 I love it when a plan comes together
how many tests your script is going to run to protect against premature
failure.
-The prefered way to do this is to declare a plan when you C<use Test::More>.
+The preferred way to do this is to declare a plan when you C<use Test::More>.
- use Test::More tests => $Num_Tests;
+ use Test::More tests => 23;
There are rare cases when you will not know beforehand how many tests
your script is going to run. In this case, you can declare that you
use Test::More qw(no_plan);
+B<NOTE>: using no_plan requires a Test::Harness upgrade else it will
+think everything has failed. See L<CAVEATS and NOTES>).
+
In some cases, you'll want to completely skip an entire testing script.
- use Test::More qw(skip_all);
+ use Test::More skip_all => $skip_reason;
+
+Your script will declare a skip with the reason why you skipped and
+exit immediately with a zero (success). See L<Test::Harness> for
+details.
+
+If you want to control what functions Test::More will export, you
+have to use the 'import' option. For example, to import everything
+but 'fail', you'd do:
+
+ use Test::More tests => 23, import => ['!fail'];
+
+Alternatively, you can use the plan() function. Useful for when you
+have to calculate the number of tests.
-Your script will declare a skip and exit immediately with a zero
-(success). L<Test::Harness> for details.
+ use Test::More;
+ plan tests => keys %Stuff * 3;
+
+or for deciding between running the tests at all:
+
+ use Test::More;
+ if( $^O eq 'MacOS' ) {
+ plan skip_all => 'Test irrelevant on MacOS';
+ }
+ else {
+ plan tests => 42;

simple example) and uses that to determine if the test succeeded or
failed. A true expression passes, a false one fails. Very simple.
Should an ok() fail, it will produce some diagnostics:

- # Failed test 18 (foo.t at line 42)

So why use these? They produce better diagnostics on failure. ok()
cannot know what you are testing for (beyond the name), but is() and
isnt() know what the test was and why it failed. For example this
- test:
+test:
my $foo = 'waffle'; my $bar = 'yarblokos';
is( $foo, $bar, 'Is foo the same as bar?' );
Will produce something like this:
not ok 17 - Is foo the same as bar?
- # Failed test 1 (foo.t at line 139)
+ # Failed test 'Is foo the same as bar?'
+ # in foo.t at line 139.
# got: 'waffle'
# expected: 'yarblokos'
however do not be tempted to use them to find out if something is
true or false!
- # XXX BAD! $pope->isa('Catholic') eq 1
- is( $pope->isa('Catholic'), 1, 'Is the Pope Catholic?' );
+ # XXX BAD!
+ is( exists $brooklyn{tree}, 1, 'A tree grows in Brooklyn' );

You usually want to test if the module you're testing loads ok, rather
=item B<use_ok>
-=item B<require_ok>
-
BEGIN { use_ok($module); }
- require_ok($module);
+ BEGIN { use_ok($module, @imports); }
+
+These simply use the given $module and test to make sure the load
+happened ok. It's recommended that you run use_ok() inside a BEGIN
+block so its functions are exported at compile-time and prototypes are
+properly honored.
+
+If @imports are given, they are passed through to the use. So this:
+
+ BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module', qw(foo bar)) }
+
+is like doing this:
+
+ use Some::Module qw(foo bar);
+
+Version numbers can be checked like so:
+
+ # Just like "use Some::Module 1.02"
+ BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module', 1.02) }
+
+Don't try to do this:
+
+ BEGIN {
+ use_ok('Some::Module');
+
+ ...some code that depends on the use...
+ ...happening at compile time...
+ }
+
+because the notion of "compile-time" is relative. Instead, you want:
+
+ BEGIN { use_ok('Some::Module') }
+ BEGIN { ...some code that depends on the use... }
-These simply use or require the given $module and test to make sure

+ # Since there's no foo, check that /etc/bar is set up right.
+
+You might remember C<ok() or diag()> with the mnemonic C<open() or

=head2 Conditional tests
Sometimes running a test under certain conditions will cause the
test script to die. A certain function or method isn't implemented
(such as fork() on MacOS), some resource isn't available (like a
-net connection) or a module isn't available. In these cases its
-necessary to skip test, or declare that they are supposed to fail
+net connection) or a module isn't available. In these cases it's
+necessary to skip tests, or declare that they are supposed to fail
but will work in the future (a todo test).
-For more details on skip and todo tests, L<Test::Harness>.
+For more details on the mechanics of skip and todo tests see
+L<Test::Harness>.
+
+The way Test::More handles this is with a named block. Basically, a
+block of tests which can be skipped over or made todo. It's best if I
+just show you...
=over 4
-=item B<skip> * UNIMPLEMENTED *
+=item B<SKIP: BLOCK>
+
+ SKIP: {
+ skip $why, $how_many if $condition;
+
+ ...normal testing code goes here...
+ }
- skip BLOCK $how_many, $why, $if;
+This declares a block of tests that might be skipped, $how_many tests
+there are, $why and under what $condition to skip them. An example is
+the easiest way to illustrate:
-B<NOTE> Should that be $if or $unless?
+ SKIP: {
+ eval { require HTML::Lint };
-This declares a block of tests to skip, why and under what conditions
-to skip them. An example is the easiest way to illustrate:
+ skip "HTML::Lint not installed", 2 if $@;
- skip {
- ok( head("http://www.foo.com"), "www.foo.com is alive" );
- ok( head("http://www.foo.com/bar"), " and has bar" );
- } 2, "LWP::Simple not installed",
- !eval { require LWP::Simple; LWP::Simple->import; 1 };
+ my $lint = new HTML::Lint;
+ isa_ok( $lint, "HTML::Lint" );
-The $if condition is optional, but $why is not.
+ $lint->parse( $html );
+ is( $lint->errors, 0, "No errors found in HTML" );
+ }
+
+If the user does not have HTML::Lint installed, the whole block of
+code I<won't be run at all>. Test::More will output special ok's
+which Test::Harness interprets as skipped, but passing, tests.
+
+It's important that $how_many accurately reflects the number of tests
+in the SKIP block so the # of tests run will match up with your plan.
+If your plan is C<no_plan> $how_many is optional and will default to 1.
+
+It's perfectly safe to nest SKIP blocks. Each SKIP block must have
+the label C<SKIP>, or Test::More can't work its magic.
+
+You don't skip tests which are failing because there's a bug in your
+program, or for which you don't yet have code written. For that you
+use TODO. Read on.

+
+ my $spoon;
+ URI::Geller->bend_spoon;
+ is( $spoon, 'bent', "Spoon bending, that's original" );
+ }
+
+With a todo block, the tests inside are expected to fail. Test::More
+will run the tests normally, but print out special flags indicating
+they are "todo". Test::Harness will interpret failures as being ok.
+Should anything succeed, it will report it as an unexpected success.
+You then know the thing you had todo is done and can remove the
+TODO flag.
+
+The nice part about todo tests, as opposed to simply commenting out a
+block of tests, is it's like having a programmatic todo list. You know
+how much work is left to be done, you're aware of what bugs there are,
+and you'll know immediately when they're fixed.
+
+Once a todo test starts succeeding, simply move it outside the block.
+When the block is empty, delete it.
+
+B<NOTE>: TODO tests require a Test::Harness upgrade else it will
+treat it as a normal failure. See L<CAVEATS and NOTES>).

-=head1 BUGS and CAVEATS
-The eq_* family have some caveats.
+=head1 EXIT CODES
+
+If all your tests passed, Test::Builder will exit with zero (which is
+normal). If anything failed it will exit with how many failed. If
+you run less (or more) tests than you planned, the missing (or extras)
+will be considered failures. If no tests were ever run Test::Builder
+will throw a warning and exit with 255. If the test died, even after
+having successfully completed all its tests, it will still be
+considered a failure and will exit with 255.
+
+So the exit codes are...
+
+ 0 all tests successful
+ 255 test died or all passed but wrong # of tests run
+ any other number how many failed (including missing or extras)
+
+If you fail more than 254 tests, it will be reported as 254.

+=over 4
+
+=item Backwards compatibility
+
+Test::More works with Perls as old as 5.004_05.
+
+
+=item Overloaded objects
+
+String overloaded objects are compared B<as strings> (or in cmp_ok()'s
+case, strings or numbers as appropriate to the comparison op). This
+prevents Test::More from piercing an object's interface allowing
+better blackbox testing. So if a function starts returning overloaded
+objects instead of bare strings your tests won't notice the
+difference. This is good.
-todo() and skip() are unimplemented.
+However, it does mean that functions like is_deeply() cannot be used to
+test the internals of string overloaded objects. In this case I would
+suggest Test::Deep which contains more flexible testing functions for
+complex data structures.
