6 Test2::Compare::Object - Representation of an object during deep
7 comparison.
8
10 This class lets you specify an expected object in a deep comparison.
11 You can check the fields/elements of the underlying reference, call
12 methods to verify results, and do meta checks for object type and ref
13 type.
14
16 $class = $obj->meta_class
17 The meta-class to be used when checking the object type. This is
18 mainly listed because it is useful to override for specialized
19 object subclasses.
20
21 This normally just returns Test2::Compare::Meta.
22
23 $class = $obj->object_base
24 The base-class to be expected when checking the object type. This
25 is mainly listed because it is useful to override for specialized
26 object subclasses.
27
28 This normally just returns 'UNIVERSAL'.
29
30 $obj->add_prop(...)
31 Add a meta-property to check, see Test2::Compare::Meta. This method
32 just delegates.
33
34 $obj->add_field(...)
35 Add a hash-field to check, see Test2::Compare::Hash. This method
36 just delegates.
37
38 $obj->add_item(...)
39 Add an array item to check, see Test2::Compare::Array. This method
40 just delegates.
41
42 $obj->add_call($method, $check)
43 $obj->add_call($method, $check, $name)
44 $obj->add_call($method, $check, $name, $context)
45 Add a method call check. This will call the specified method on
46 your object and verify the result. $method may be a method name, an
47 array ref, or a coderef.
48
49 If it's an arrayref, the first element must be the method name, and
50 the rest are arguments that will be passed to it.
51
52 In the case of a coderef it can be helpful to provide an alternate
53 name. When no name is provided the name is either $method or the
54 string '\&CODE'.
55
56 If $context is 'list', the method will be invoked in list context,
57 and the result will be an arrayref.
58
59 If $context is 'hash', the method will be invoked in list context,
60 and the result will be a hashref (this will warn if the method
61 returns an odd number of values).
