NAME

6       "Test::Future::Deferred" - a future which completes later
7
8        my $future = Test::Future::Deferred->done_later( 1, 2, 3 );
9
10        # Future is not ready yet
11
12        my @result = $future->get;

DESCRIPTION

15       This subclass of Future provides two new methods and an implementation
16       of the "await" interface, which allows the futures to appear pending at
17       first, but then to complete when "get" is called at the toplevel on one
18       of them.
19
20       This behaviour is useful in unit tests to check that behaviour of a
21       module under test is correct even with non-immediate futures, as it
22       allows a future to easily be constructed that will complete "soon", but
23       not yet, without needing an event loop.
24
25       Because these futures provide their own "await" method, they shouldn't
26       be mixed in the same program with other kinds of futures from real
27       event systems or similar.

METHODS

30   done_later
31          $f->done_later( @args )
32
33       Equivalent to invoking the regular "done" method as part of the "await"
34       operation called on the toplevel future. This makes the future complete
35       with the given result, but only when "get" is called.
36
37   fail_later
38          $f->fail_later( $message, $category, @details )
39
40       Equivalent to invoking the regular "fail" method as part of the "await"
41       operation called on the toplevel future. This makes the future complete
42       with the given failure, but only when "get" is called. As the "failure"
43       method also waits for completion of the future, then it will return the
44       failure message given here also.
