+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

-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>.

use Test::More tests => $Num_Tests;
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 skip_all => $skip_reason;
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.
+
+ 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;

- # Failed test 1 (foo.t at line 139)

true or false!

+ # Failed test in foo.t at line 12.

+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.
use Some::Module qw(foo bar);
+Version numbers can be checked like so:

+=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
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 see 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
...normal testing code goes here...
}
-This declares a block of tests to skip, $how_many tests there are,
-$why and under what $condition to skip them. An example is the
-easiest way to illustrate:
+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:
SKIP: {
- skip "Pigs don't fly here", 2 unless Pigs->can('fly');
+ eval { require HTML::Lint };
+
+ skip "HTML::Lint not installed", 2 if $@;
- my $pig = Pigs->new;
- $pig->takeoff;
+ my $lint = new HTML::Lint;
+ isa_ok( $lint, "HTML::Lint" );
- ok( $pig->altitude > 0, 'Pig is airborne' );
- ok( $pig->airspeed > 0, ' and moving' );
+ $lint->parse( $html );
+ is( $lint->errors, 0, "No errors found in HTML" );
}
-If pigs cannot fly, the whole block of tests will be skipped
-completely. Test::More will output special ok's which Test::Harness
-interprets as skipped tests. Its important to include $how_many tests
-are in the block so the total number of tests comes out right (unless
-you're using C<no_plan>).
+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.
-You'll typically use this when a feature is missing, like an optional
-module is not installed or the operating system doesn't have some
-feature (like fork() or symlinks) or maybe you need an Internet
-connection and one isn't available.
+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.
-=for _Future
-See L</Why are skip and todo so weird?>
+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.

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 programatic todo list. You know
+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.

+=head2 Extending and Embedding Test::More

+Sometimes the Test::More interface isn't quite enough. Fortunately,

+libraries which both use Test::Builder B<can be used together in the
+same program>.
+
+If you simply want to do a little tweaking of how the tests behave,
+you can access the underlying Test::Builder object like so:
+
+=over 4
+

+

+
+Returns the Test::Builder object underlying Test::More for you to play
+with.

-=head1 NOTES
-Test::More is B<explicitly> tested all the way back to perl 5.004.
+=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...
-=head1 BUGS and CAVEATS
+ 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.
