7
9 Version 0.02
10
12 Test2::Suite dropped the "explain()" function that had been part of
13 Test::More. For those who miss it in Test2, you can use
14 Test2::Tools::Explain.
15
16 use Test2::Tools::Explain;
17
18 my $errors = fleeble_the_whatzit();
19 is( $errors, [], 'Should have no errors from fleebling' ) or diag explain( $errors );
20
22 All functions in this module are exported by default.
23
25 explain( @things_to_explain )
26 Will convert the contents of any references in a human readable format,
27 and return them as strings. Usually you want to pass this into "note"
28 or "diag".
29
30 Handy for things like:
31
32 is( $errors, [], 'Should have no errors' ) or diag explain( $errors );
33
34 Note that "explain" does NOT output anything.
