NAME

Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib - Utilities for writing Wiki::Toolkit tests.

DESCRIPTION

When 'perl Makefile.PL' is run on a Wiki::Toolkit distribution, information will be gathered about test databases etc that can be used for running tests. Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib gives convenient access to this information.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib;
use Test::More;

my $iterator = Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib->new_wiki_maker;
plan tests => ( $iterator->number * 6 );

while ( my $wiki = $iterator->new_wiki ) {
    # put some test data in
    # run six tests
}

Each time you call ->next on your iterator, you will get a fresh blank wiki object. The iterator will iterate over all configured search and storage backends.

The Lucy search backend will be configured to index three metadata fields: address, category, and locale.

METHODS

new_wiki_maker

my $iterator = Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib->new_wiki_maker;

number

use Test::More;
my $iterator = Wiki::Toolkit::TestLib->new_wiki_maker;
plan tests => ( $iterator->number * 6 );

Returns the number of new wikis that your iterator will be able to give you.

new_wiki

my $wiki = $iterator->new_wiki;

Returns a fresh blank wiki object, or false if you've used up all the configured search and storage backends.

configured_databases

my @configured_databases = $iterator->configured_databases;

Returns the @configured_databases array detailing configured test databases.
Useful for very low-level testing only.

CAVEATS

If you have the Search::InvertedIndex backend configured (see Wiki::Toolkit::Search::SII) then your tests will raise warnings like

(in cleanup) Search::InvertedIndex::DB::Mysql::lock() -
  testdb is not open. Can't lock.
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Search/InvertedIndex.pm line 1348

or

(in cleanup) Can't call method "sync" on an undefined value
  at /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/Tie/DB_File/SplitHash.pm line 331
  during global destruction.

in unexpected places. I don't know whether this is a bug in me or in Search::InvertedIndex.
