6 Test2::Todo - TODO extension for Test2.
7
9 This is an object that lets you create and manage TODO states for
10 tests. This is an extension, not a plugin or a tool. This library can
11 be used by plugins and tools to manage todo states.
12
13 If you simply want to write a todo test then you should look at the
14 "todo" function provided by Test2::Tools::Basic.
15
17 use Test2::Todo;
18
19 # Start the todo
20 my $todo = Test2::Todo->new(reason => 'Fix later');
21
22 # Will be considered todo, so suite still passes
23 ok(0, "oops");
24
25 # End the todo
26 $todo->end;
27
28 # TODO has ended, this test will actually fail.
29 ok(0, "oops");
30
32 reason (required)
33 The reason for the todo, this can be any defined value.
34
35 hub (optional)
36 The hub to which the TODO state should be applied. If none is
37 provided then the current global hub is used.
38
40 $todo->end
41 End the todo state.
42
44 $count = Test2::Todo->hub_in_todo($hub)
45 If the hub has any todo objects this will return the total number
46 of them. If the hub has no todo objects it will return 0.

49 How it works
50 When an instance is created a filter sub is added to the Test2::Hub.
51 This filter will set the "todo" and "diag_todo" attributes on all
52 events as they come in. When the instance is destroyed, or "end()" is
53 called, the filter is removed.
54
55 When a new hub is pushed (such as when a subtest is started) the new
56 hub will inherit the filter, but it will only set "diag_todo", it will
57 not set "todo" on events in child hubs.
58
59 $todo->end is called at destruction
60 If your $todo object falls out of scope and gets garbage collected, the
61 todo will end.
62
63 Can I use multiple instances?
64 Yes. The most recently created one that is still active will win.
