-If you're just getting started writing tests, have a look at
+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;
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;

+ # Failed test (foo.t at line 12)
+ # '23'
+ # &&
+ # undef
+
+It's also useful in those cases where you are comparing numbers and

+=head2 Diagnostics

+messages which are safer than just C<print STDERR>.

+ not ok 42 - There's a foo user
+ # Failed test (foo.t at line 52)

+You might remember C<ok() or diag()> with the mnemonic C<open() or

=head2 Conditional tests
-B<WARNING!> The following describes an I<experimental> interface that
-is subject to change B<WITHOUT NOTICE>! Use at your peril.
-
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
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 };
- my $pig = Pigs->new;
- $pig->takeoff;
+ skip "HTML::Lint not installed", 2 if $@;
- ok( $pig->altitude > 0, 'Pig is airborne' );
- ok( $pig->airspeed > 0, ' and moving' );
+ my $lint = new HTML::Lint;
+ isa_ok( $lint, "HTML::Lint" );
+
+ $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.
-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.

The nice part about todo tests, as opposed to simply commenting out a

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

+unified backend for any test library to use. This means two test
+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,

+with.
- my_ok( 2 + 2 == 5, 'Basic addition' );

-since ok() takes it's arguments as scalars, it will see the length of

=head1 HISTORY
This is a case of convergent evolution with Joshua Pritikin's Test
-module. I was largely unware of its existence when I'd first
+module. I was largely unaware of its existence when I'd first
written my own ok() routines. This module exists because I can't
figure out how to easily wedge test names into Test's interface (along
with a few other problems).

+some tests. You can upgrade to Test::More later (it's forward
compatible).
-L<Test> for a similar testing module.
+L<Test::Differences> for more ways to test complex data structures.
+And it plays well with Test::More.

+L<Test> is the old testing module. Its main benefit is that it has

L<Test::Unit> describes a very featureful unit testing interface.

L<SelfTest> is another approach to embedded testing.
