NAME

6       Test::Roo::Class - Base class for Test::Roo test classes
7

VERSION

9       version 1.004
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This module is the base class for Test::Roo test classes.  It provides
13       methods to run tests and anchor modifiers.  Generally, you should not
14       extend this class yourself, but use Test::Roo to do so instead.
15

ATTRIBUTES

17   description
18       A description for a subtest block wrapping all tests by the object.  It
19       is a 'lazy' attribute.  Test classes may implement their own
20       "_build_description" method to create a description from object
21       attributes.  Otherwise, the default is "testing with CLASS".
22

METHODS

24   run_tests
25           # as a class method
26           $class->run_tests();
27           $class->run_tests($description);
28           $class->run_tests($init_args);
29           $class->run_tests($description $init_args);
30
31           # as an object method
32           $self->run_tests();
33           $self->run_tests($description);
34
35       If called as a class method, this creates a test object using an
36       optional hash reference of initialization arguments.
37
38       When called as an object method, or after an object has been generated,
39       this method sets an optional description and runs tests.  It will call
40       the "setup" method (triggering any method modifiers), will run all
41       tests (triggering any method modifiers on "each_test") and will call
42       the "teardown" method (triggering any method modifiers).
43
44       If a description is provided, it will override any initialized or
45       generated "description" attribute.
46
47       The setup, tests and teardown will be executed in a Test::More subtest
48       block.
49
50   setup
51       This is an empty method used to anchor method modifiers.  It should not
52       be overridden by subclasses.
53
54   each_test
55       This method wraps the code references set by the "test" function from
56       Test::Roo or Test::Roo::Role in a Test::More subtest block.
57
58       It may also be used to anchor modifiers that should run before or after
59       each test block, though this can lead to brittle design as modifiers
60       will globally affect every test block, including composed ones.
61
62   teardown
63       This is an empty method used to anchor method modifiers.  It should not
64       be overridden by subclasses.
