NAME
HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Hooks - Provides callbacks called during test run
SYNOPSIS
plugins = ( ::Hooks )
test_name = Name1
....
# do some test initialization
on_request = { My::init() }
end_test
test_name = Name2
....
# define custom test
on_response = ( { My::test() ? 'yes' : 'no' } => 'My test' )

test_name = Name3
....
# call finalization code with returning any test results
on_response = { My::finalize(); return [] }
end_testDESCRIPTION
This plugin module adds test parameters which values are evaluated at specific time of HTTP::WebTest test run. It can be used to do some initialization before doing test request, to do some finalization when test response is received or to implement user defined tests without need to write separate plugin module.
TEST PARAMETERS
on_request
Value of this test parameter is ignored. However it is evaluted before test request to web page is done so it is useful to do some initalization before the request.
on_response
This is a list parameter which is treated as test result. It is evaluted when response for the test request is received.
It can be useful to define custom tests without writting new plugins and/or it can be useful to run some code when response for the test request is received.
Allowed values
( YESNO1, COMMENT1
YESNO2, COMMENT2
....
YESNON, COMMENTN )Here YESNO, COMMENT - is a test result. YESNO - is either yes if test is successful or no if it is not. COMMENT is a text of comment associated with this test.
Example
See example in HTTP::WebTest::Cookbook.
