Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

My New Custom Test::More

[ #32614 ]

I've finally gotten around to customizing my Test::More a bit more:

package My::Test::More;

use Test::Builder::Module;
@ISA = qw(Test::Builder::Module);
use Test::More;
use Test::Differences;
use Test::Exception;

INIT {
    unless ( exists $INC{'Test/Class.pm'} ) {

        # NoWarnings doesn't play well with Test::Class
        eval "use Test::NoWarnings";
    }
}

@EXPORT = (
    @Test::More::EXPORT,
    @Test::Differences::EXPORT,
    @Test::Exception::EXPORT,
);

$ENV{RUNNING_TESTS} = 1;

1;

I use Test::Differences and Test::Exception constantly and I was getting tired of "use"ing them in every test program, so now I don't have to. Using this means you automatically get an extra test from Test::NoWarnings, but now you can't forget to have it :)

I should write some code to avoid function name conflicts in @EXPORT. Maybe even to rename or exclude them. Think 'traits' for functions :)

Loading... please wait.
  • for getting me started on doing this. :-)

    [repeated from the qa list]

    I think it was you or someone else who got me started on this in Handel
    and my other DBIC based dists where I needed both Test::More and custom
    sqlite t/var initializer junk:

    Yup, in fact, you're still in the comments... :-)

    package DBIC::Test;
    use strict;
    use warnings;
     
    BEGIN {
        # little trick by Ovid to pretend to subclass+exporter Test

    • You know, up until this post, I never realized that you and Chris Laco were one and the same. How the hell did I miss that? :)

  • @EXPORT = (
        @Test::More::EXPORT,
        @Test::Differences::EXPORT,
        @Test::Exception::EXPORT,
    );
    I've wanted a re-exporting solution before, but had never seen or thought of something this simple and clear. Thanks for sharing that!

    • I love moments like that. You get so knee deep in perl, oop, orms, forms, code and such. Then along comes a few lines of dead obvious code and the light bulb goes on.
