21 # This block defines the HashTester package. It's a Test::Routine, meaning
22 # it's a role. We define state that the test will need to keep and any
23 # requirements we might have.
24 #
25 # Before we can run this test, we'll need to compose the role into a class so
26 # that we can make an instance.
27 package HashTester;
28 use Test::Routine;
29 # We import stuff from Test::More because, well, who wants to re-write all
31 # those really useful test routines that exist out there? Maybe somebody,
32 # but not me.
33 use Test::More;
34 # ...but then we use namespace::autoclean to get rid of the routines once
36 # we've bound to them. This is just standard Moose practice, anyway, right?
37 use namespace::autoclean;
38 # Finally, some state! Every test will get called as method on an instance,
40 # and it will have this attribute. Here are some points of interest:
41 #
42 # - We're giving this attribute a builder, so it will try to get built with a
43 # call to $self->build_hash_to_test -- so each class that composes this
44 # role can provide means for these attributes (fixtures) to be generated as
45 # needed.
46 #
47 # - We are not adding "requires 'build_hash_to_test'", because then we can
48 # apply this role to Moose::Object and instantiate it with a given value
49 # in the constructor. There will be an example of this below. This lets
50 # us re-use these tests in many variations without having to write class
51 # after class.
52 #
53 # - We don't use lazy_build because it would create a clearer. If someone
54 # then cleared our lazy_build fixture, it could not be re-built in the
55 # event that we'd gotten it explicitly from the constructor!
56 #
57 # Using Moose attributes for our state and fixtures allows us to get all of
58 # their powerful behaviors like types, delegation, traits, and so on, and
59 # allows us to decompose shared behavior into roles.

68 # get installed as a method with a name that won't get clobbered easily. The
69 # method will be found later by run_tests so we can find and execute all
70 # tests on an instance.
71 #
72 # There is nothing magical about this method! Calling this method is
73 # performed in a Test::More subtest block. A TAP plan can be issued with
74 # "plan", and we can issue TODO or SKIP directives the same way. There is
75 # none of the return-to-skip magic that we find in Test::Class.
76 #
77 # The string after "test" is used as the method name -- which means we're
78 # getting a method name with spaces in it. This can be slightly problematic
79 # if you try to use, say, ::, in a method name. For the most part, it works
80 # quite well -- but look at the next test for an example of how to give an
