Test::Stub::Generator - be able to generate stub (submodule and method) having check argument and control return value.

DESCRIPTION

Test::Stub::Generator is library for supports the programmer in wriring test code.

Functions

make_subroutine($expects_and_return_list, $opts)

simulate subroutine (do not receive $self)

make_method($expects_and_return_list, $opts)

simulate object method (receive $self)

Parameters

$expects_and_return_list(first arguments)

  my $method = make_method(
    [
      { expects => [1], return => 2 }
    ]
  );
expects

automaic checking $method_argument

    $method->(1); # ok xxxx- [stub] arguments are as You expected
return

control return_value

    my $return = $method->(1); # $return = 2;

$opts(second arguments)

  my $method = make_method(
    [
      { expects => [1], return => 2 }
    ],
    { display => "display name", is_repeat => 1 }
  );
display

change displayed name when testing

is_repeat

repeat mode ( repeating $expects_and_return_list->{0] )

Utility Method (second return_value method)

  my ($method, $util) = make_subroutine_utils($expects_and_return_list, $opts)
  my ($method, $util) = make_method_utils($expects_and_return_list, $opts)
$util->called_count

return a number of times that was method called

$util->has_next

return a boolean. if there are still more $expects_and_return_list, then true(1). if there are not, then false(0).

$util->is_repeat

return a value $opt->{is_repeat}

Setting Sheat

single value

    # { expects => [ 1 ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method(1);

    # { expects => xxxx, return => 1 }
    is_deeply( $obj->method($MEANINGLESS), 1, 'single' );

array value

    # { expects => [ ( 0, 1 ) ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method( 0, 1 );

    # { expects => xxxx, return => sub{ ( 0, 1 ) } }
    is_deeply( [$obj->method($MEANINGLESS)], [ ( 0, 1 ) ], 'array' );

hash value

    # { expects => [ a => 1 ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method(a => 1);

    # { expects => xxxx, return => sub{ a => 1 } }
    is_deeply( [$obj->method($MEANINGLESS)], [ a => 1 ], 'hash' );

array ref

    # { expects => [ [ 0, 1 ] ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method( [ 0, 1 ] );

    # { expects => xxxx, return => [ 0, 1 ] }
    is_deeply( $obj->method($MEANINGLESS), [ 0, 1 ], 'array_ref' );

hash ref

    # { expects => [ { a => 1 } ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method( { a => 1 } );

    # { expects => xxxx, return => { a => 1 } }
    is_deeply( $obj->method($MEANINGLESS), { a => 1 }, 'hash_ref' );

complex values

    # { expects => [ 0, [ 0, 1 ], { a => 1 } ], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method( 0, [ 0, 1 ], { a => 1 } );

    # { expects => xxxx, return => [ 0, [ 0, 1 ], { a => 1 } ] }
    is_deeply( $obj->method($MEANINGLESS), [ 0, [ 0, 1 ], { a => 1 } ], 'complex' );

dont check arguments (Test::Deep)

    # { expects => [ignore, 1], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method(sub{},1);

check argument using type (Test::Deep::Matcher)

    # { expects => [is_integer], return => xxxx }
    $obj->method(1);

    # { expects => [is_string],  return => xxxx }
    $obj->method("AAAA");
