NAME

Batch::Interpreter::TestSupport - support code for testing Batch::Interpreter

SYNOPSIS

The output of runbat is compared with the output of CMD.EXE. On systems with CMD.EXE the batch files can be run with CMD.EXE to store the expected output. The switch --complete combines both steps.

METHODS

->get_test_attr()

Read @ARGV to generate a $test_attr HashRef, that is returned for (possibly modified) use in ->compare_output().

read_file($filename)

Read $filename in the same way as compare_output() reads it (including possible decoding) and return the content as a binary string.

compare_output($test_attr, $subtest_name, @commandline)

Compare the output of running @commandline with CMD.EXE and Batch::Interpreter.

$subtest_name can be given as undef, in which case the subtests are simply numbered.

Attributes that can be added to $test_attr are:

verbose

Be verbose.

filter_log

A callback CodeRef, that is used to filter the output, which is called as

$content = $attr->{filter_log}->($type, $stream, $content)

$type can be 'cmd' or 'lib', $stream can be 'stdout' or 'stderr'.

unix_nl

Normalize the data to unix newlines before comparison. Note 'before comparison' includes the point in time the CMD.EXE output is saved.

skip_stderr

Only STDOUT is compared, not STDERR.

in_dir

The command is run in the given directory.
