SYNOPSIS

12           use Test::More;
13           use Log::Any::Test;    # should appear before 'use Log::Any'!
14           use Log::Any qw($log);
15
16           # ...
17           # call something that logs using Log::Any
18           # ...
19
20           # now test to make sure you logged the right things
21
22           $log->contains_ok(qr/good log message/, "good message was logged");
23           $log->does_not_contain_ok(qr/unexpected log message/, "unexpected message was not logged");
24           $log->empty_ok("no more logs");
25
26           # or
27
28           my $msgs = $log->msgs;
29           cmp_deeply($msgs, [{message => 'msg1', level => 'debug'}, ...]);

DESCRIPTION

32       "Log::Any::Test" is a simple module that allows you to test what has
33       been logged with Log::Any. Most of its API and implementation have been
34       taken from Log::Any::Dispatch.
35
36       Using "Log::Any::Test" signals "Log::Any" to send all subsequent log
37       messages to a single global in-memory buffer and to make the log proxy
38       provide a number of testing functions.  To use it, load
39       "Log::Any::Test" before anything that loads "Log::Any".  To actually
40       use the test methods, you need to load "Log::Any" and get a log object
41       from it, as shown in the "SYNOPSIS".

METHODS

44       The test_name is optional in the *_ok methods; a reasonable default
45       will be provided.
46
47       msgs ()
48           Returns the current contents of the global log buffer as an array
49           reference, where each element is a hash containing a category,
50           level, and message key.  e.g.
51
52             {
53               category => 'Foo',
54               level => 'error',
55               message => 'this is an error'
56             },
57             {
58               category => 'Bar::Baz',
59               level => 'debug',
60               message => 'this is a debug'
61             }
62
63       contains_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
64           Tests that a message in the log buffer matches $regex. On success,
65           the message is removed from the log buffer (but any other matches
66           are left untouched).
67
68       does_not_contain_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
69           Tests that no message in the log buffer matches $regex.
70
71       category_contains_ok ($category, $regex[, $test_name])
72           Tests that a message in the log buffer from a specific category
73           matches $regex. On success, the message is removed from the log
74           buffer (but any other matches are left untouched).
75
76       category_does_not_contain_ok ($category, $regex[, $test_name])
77           Tests that no message from a specific category in the log buffer
78           matches $regex.
79
80       empty_ok ([$test_name])
81           Tests that there is no log buffer left. On failure, the log buffer
82           is cleared to limit further cascading failures.
83
84       contains_only_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
85           Tests that there is a single message in the log buffer and it
86           matches $regex. On success, the message is removed.
87
88       clear ()
89           Clears the log buffer.
