NAME

Test::Approvals::Core::FileApprover - Verify two files are the same

VERSION

This documentation refers to Test::Approvals::Core::FileApprover version v0.0.4

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Approvals::Core::FileApprover qw(verify);
use Test::Approvals::Namers::DefaultNamer;
use Test::Approvals::Writers::TextWriter;
use Test::Approvals::Reporters;

my $w = Test::Approvals::Writers::TextWriter->new( result => 'Hello' );
my $r = Test::Approvals::Reporters::DiffReporter->new();
my $n = Test::Approvals::Namers::DefaultNamer->new( name => 'Hello Test' );

ok verify( $w, $n, $r ), $n->name;

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the low level routines that actually compare two files for equality, and take the appropriate actions when the files don't match (ie. launch the reporter) and when the files do match (ie. clean up the received file).

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

verify

ok verify( $writer, $namer, $rerporter ), $namer->name;

Low level method to verify that the result data matches the approved data (stored in a file). Returns a value indicating whether the data matches and invokes the reporter when needed.

verify_files

my $failure = verify_files('r.txt', 'a.txt');
if(defined $failure) {
    print "Verification failed because: $failure";
}
else {
    pring "Verification success!";
}

Compare two files and return a message if they are not the same. When they are the same, return null.
