32 Warnings are an important part of any application. Your web application
33 should warn the user when something is amiss.
34
35 Almost as importantly, we want to be able to test that the web
36 application gracefully copes with bad input, the back button, and all
37 other aspects of the user experience.
38
39 Unfortunately, tests seldom cover what happens when things go poorly.
40 Are you "sure" that your application checks authorization for that
41 action? Are you "sure" it will tomorrow?
42
43 This module lets you retrieve the warnings that your forked server
44 throws. That way you can test that your application continues to throw
45 warnings when it makes sense. Catching the warnings also keeps your
46 test output tidy. Finally, you'll be able to see when your application
47 throws new, unexpected warnings.
48
50 The way this module works is it catches warnings and makes them
51 available on a special URL (which must be defined by you in the
52 "test_warning_path" method). You can use "WWW::Mechanize" (or
53 whichever HTTP agent you prefer) to download the warnings. The warnings
54 will be serialized. Use decode_warnings to get the list of warnings
55 seen so far (since last request anyway).
56
57 Warnings are encoded using Storable by default, but your subclass may
58 override the "encode_warnings" and "decode_warnings" methods.
59
61 Setting the "TEST_VERBOSE" environment variable to a true value will
62 cause warnings to be displayed immediately, even if they would be
63 captured and tested later.
