NAME

6       Test2::Plugin - Documentation for plugins
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Plugins are packages that cause behavior changes, or other side effects
10       for the test file that loads them. They should not export any
11       functions, or provide any tools. Plugins should be distinct units of
12       functionality.
13
14       If you wish to combine behavior changes with tools then you should
15       write a Plugin, a Tools module, and a bundle that loads them both.

FAQ

18       Should I subclass Test2::Plugin?
19           No. Currently this class is empty. Eventually we may want to add
20           behavior, in which case we do not want anyone to already be
21           subclassing it.

HOW DO I WRITE A PLUGIN?

24       Writing a plugin is not as simple as writing an Test2::Bundle, or
25       writing Test2::Tools. Plugins alter behavior, or cause desirable side-
26       effects. To accomplish this you typically need a custom import() method
27       that calls one or more functions provided by the Test2::API package.
28
29       If you want to write a plugin you should look at existing plugins, as
30       well as the Test2::API and Test2::Hub documentation. There is no
31       formula for a Plugin, they are generally unique, however consistent
32       rules are that they should not load other plugins, or export any
33       functions.
