SYNOPSIS

12        package MyTest;
13
14        use Test::Able;
15        use Test::More;
16
17        startup         some_startup  => sub { ... };
18        setup           some_setup    => sub { ... };
19        test plan => 1, foo           => sub { ok( 1 ); };
20        test            bar           => sub {
21            my @runtime_list = 1 .. 42;
22            $_[ 0 ]->meta->current_method->plan( scalar @runtime_list );
23            ok( 1 ) for @runtime_list;
24        };

DESCRIPTION

31       An xUnit style testing framework inspired by Test::Class and built
32       using Moose.  It can do all the important things Test::Class can do and
33       more.  The prime advantages of using this module instead of Test::Class
34       are flexibility and power.  Namely, Moose.
35
36       This module was created for a few of reasons:
37
38       •   To address perceived limitations in, and downfalls of, Test::Class.
39
40       •   To leverage existing Moose expertise for testing.
41
42       •   To bring Moose to the Perl testing game.
43

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

45       In addition to exporting for Moose, Test::Able will export a handful of
46       functions that can be used to declare test-related methods.
47
48       startup/setup/test/teardown/shutdown
49           A more Moose-like way to do method declaration.  The syntax is
50           similar to "has" in Moose except its for test-related methods.
51
52           These start with one of startup/setup/test/teardown/shutdown
53           depending on what type of method you are defining.  Then comes any
54           attribute name/value pairs to set in the
55           Test::Able::Role::Meta::Method-based method metaclass object.  The
56           last pair must always be the method name and the coderef.  This is
57           to disambiguate between the method name/code pair and any another
58           attribute in the method metaclass that happens to take a coderef.
59           See the synopsis or the tests for examples.

Overview

62       1. Build some test classes: a, b, & c.  The classes just have to be
63       based on Test::Able.
64
65       2. Fire up an instance of any of them to be the runner object.  Any
66       test object can serve as the test_runner_object including itself.
67
68        my $b_obj = b->new;
69
70       3. Setup the test_objects in the test_runner_object.
71
72        $b_obj->test_objects( [
73            a->new,
74            $b_obj,
75            c->new,
76        ] );
77
78       4. Do the test run.  The test_objects will be run in order.
79
80        $b_obj->run_tests;
