NAME

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

DESCRIPTION

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

SYNOPSIS

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

my $iterator = CGI::Wiki::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.

METHODS

new_wiki_maker

my $iterator = CGI::Wiki::TestLib->new_wiki_maker;
while ( my $wiki = $iterator->new_wiki ) {
    # put some test data in
    # run some tests
}

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

number

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

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

CAVEATS

If you have the Search::InvertedIndex backend configured (see CGI::Wiki::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.
