NAME

Config::Model::Tester::Setup - Common test setup functions for Config::Model

VERSION

version 4.007

SYNOPSIS

# in t/some_test.t
use warnings;
use strict;

use Config::Model::Tester::Setup qw/init_test setup_test_dir/;

my ($model, $trace) = init_test();

# pseudo root where config files are written by config-model as setup
# by init_test
my $wr_root = setup_test_dir();

DESCRIPTION

This module provide 2 functions to setup a test environment that can be used in most test involving Config::Model.

FUNCTIONS

init_test

Scan test command line options and initialise a Config::Model object.

Returns a list containing a Config::Model object, a boolean and a hash. The boolean is true if option --trace was used on the command line.

Default command options are:

  • --error: When set, error handled by Config::Model::Exception shows a strack trace when dying.

  • --log: When set, Log::Log4perl uses the config from file ~/.log4config-model or the default config provided by Config::Model. By default, only Error level and above are shown. Note that log tests are disabled when this option is set, so you may see a lot of harmless Warning messages during tests (which depend on the tests to be run). Experimental.

More options can be passed to init_test using option definitions like the one defined in Getopt::Long . The value of the command line options are returned in the 3rd returned value.

For instance, for a test named t/my_test.t calling :

init_test('foo', 'bar=s')

The test file can be run with:

perl t/my_test.t --foo --bar=baz --log --trace

init_test returns:

($model, 1, { foo => 1, bar => 'baz', log => 1 , trace => 1, error => 0 })

setup_test_dir

Cleanup and create a test directory in wr_root/test-script-name. For instance this function creates directory wr_root/foo for test t/foo.t

Returns a Path::Tiny object of the test directory or a string if setup_test_dir is called with stringify => 1.
