6 Test2::Tools::Defer - Write tests that get executed at a later time
7
9 Sometimes you need to test things BEFORE loading the necessary
10 functions. This module lets you do that. You can write tests, and then
11 have them run later, after "Test2" is loaded. You tell it what test
12 function to run, and what arguments to give it. The function name and
13 arguments will be stored to be executed later. When ready, run do_def()
14 to kick them off once the functions are defined.

20 use Test2::Tools::Defer;
21
22 BEGIN {
23 def ok => (1, 'pass');
24 def is => ('foo', 'foo', 'runs is');
25 ...
26 }
27
28 use Test2::Tools::Basic;
29
30 do_def(); # Run the tests
31
32 # Declare some more tests to run later:
33 def ok => (1, "another pass");
34 ...
35
36 do_def(); # run the new tests
37
38 done_testing;
39
41 def function => @args;
42 This will store the function name, and the arguments to be run
43 later. Note that each package has a separate store of tests to run.
44
45 do_def()
46 This will run all the stored tests. It will also reset the list to
47 be empty so you can add more tests to run even later.
