NAME
App::SimpleScan::Plugin::Snapshot - Allow tests to snapshot results
VERSION
This document describes App::SimpleScan::Plugin::Snapshot version 0.01
SYNOPSIS
use App::SimpleScan;
my $app = new App::SimpleScan;
$app->go; # plugin loaded automatically hereDESCRIPTION
Supports the %%snapshot_dir and %%snapshot pragmas plus the --snapshot_dir and --snap_all and -snap_errors options.
INTERFACE
pragmas
Installs the pragmas into App::SimpleScan.
options
Installs the command line options into App::SimpleScan.
snapshots_to
Accessor allowing pragmas and command line options to share the variable containing the current value for this combined option.
snapshot
Accessor allowing pragmas and command line options to share the variable containing the current value for this combined option.
snap_prefix
Accessor allowing pragmas and command line options to share the variable containing the current value for this combined option.
snap_layout
Accessor allowing pragmas and command line options to share the variable containing the current value for this combined option.
snapshot_dir_pragma
Actually implements the %%snapshot_dir pragma, stacking the necessary code.
snapshot_pragma
Sets the current snapshotting: 'on' (snapshot everything), or 'error' (only snapshot on errors).
snap_layout_pragma
Sets the current snapshot format: 'vertical' (framed page, divided vertically), 'horizontal' (framed page, divided horizontally), or 'popup' (page containing the debug info as an IFRAME, with a link to pop up the original page in a new window - good for XML, since IE and Firefox don't render XML properly in a subframe).
snap_prefix_pragma
Set the current snapshot "prefix" - substituted for the directory that the snapshots are stored in when the snapshot frame file name is printed. This makes it possible to do things like transform a filename into a URL so that you can link to snapshots from a report.
validate_options
Standard App::SimpleScan callback: validates the command-line arguments, calling the appropriate pragma methods as necessary.
filters
Standard App::SimpleScan callback: returns the list of filters for code that will be stacked by stack_test().
filter
Implements the snapshotting. Add code after every test that either snapshots every transaction (snapshot 'on') or only after an error occurs (snapshot 'error').
DIAGNOSTICS
Invalid snapshot type '%s'; 'error' assume-
You supplied a snapshot type other than 'on' or 'error'. The plugin assumes 'error', but chides you about it. You'd be better off to pick either 'on' or 'error' instead.
See snapshot %s-
A snapshot was taken and is located in the file shown.
