Bundling the Test::Unit::Lite as a part of package distribution¶

The Test::Unit::Lite framework can be bundled to the package distribution. Then the Test::Unit::Lite module is copied to the inc directory of the source directory for the package distribution.

Test::Unit::TestCase¶

This is a base class for single unit test module. The user's unit test module can override the default methods that are simple stubs.

The MESSAGE argument is optional and is included to the default error message when the assertion is false.

new

The default constructor which just bless an empty anonymous hash reference.

set_up

This method is called at the start of each test unit processing. It is empty method and can be overridden in derived class.

tear_down

This method is called at the end of each test unit processing. It is empty method and can be overridden in derived class.

list_tests

Returns the list of test methods in this class and base classes.

fail([MESSAGE])

Immediate fail the test.

assert(ARG [, MESSAGE])

Checks if ARG expression returns true value.

assert_null(ARG [, MESSAGE])

assert_not_null(ARG [, MESSAGE])

Checks if ARG is defined or not defined.

assert_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

assert_not_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

Checks if ARG1 and ARG2 are equals or not equals. If ARG1 and ARG2 look like numbers then they are compared with '==' operator, otherwise the string 'eq' operator is used.

assert_num_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

assert_num_not_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

Force numeric comparison.

assert_str_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

assert_str_not_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

Force string comparison.

assert(qr/PATTERN/, ARG [, MESSAGE])

assert_matches(qr/PATTERN/, ARG [, MESSAGE])

assert_does_not_match(qr/PATTERN/, ARG [, MESSAGE])

Checks if ARG matches PATTER regexp.

assert_deep_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

assert_deep_not_equals(ARG1, ARG2 [, MESSAGE])

Check if reference ARG1 is a deep copy of reference ARG2 or not. The references can be deep structure. If they are different, the message will display the place where they start differing.

Test::Unit::TestSuite¶

This is a base class for test suite, which groups several test units.

empty_new([NAME])

Creates a fresh suite with no tests.

new([CLASS | TEST])

Creates a test suite from unit test name or class. If a test suite is provided as the argument, it merely returns that suite. If a test case is provided, it extracts all test case methods (see Test::Unit::TestCase->list_test) from the test case into a new test suite.

name

Contains the name of the current test suite.

units

Contains the list of test units.

add_test([TEST_CLASSNAME | TEST_OBJECT])

Adds the test object to a suite.

count_test_cases

Returns the number of test cases in this suite.

run

Runs the test suite and output the results as TAP report.

Test::Unit::TestRunner¶

This is the test runner which outputs text report about finished test suite.

new([$fh_out [, $fh_err]])

The constructor for whole test framework. Its optional parameters are filehandles for standard output and error messages.

fh_out

Contains the filehandle for standard output.

fh_err

Contains the filehandle for error messages.

suite

Contains the test suite object.

print_header

Called before running test suite.

print_error

Called after error was occurred on "set_up" or "tear_down" method.

print_failure

Called after test unit is failed.

print_pass

Called after test unit is passed.

print_footer

Called after running test suite.

start(TEST_SUITE)

Starts the test suite.

Test::Unit::Result¶

This object contains the results of test suite.

new

Creates a new object.

messages

Contains the array of result messages. The single message is a hash which contains:

errors

Contains the number of collected errors.

failures

Contains the number of collected failures.

passes

Contains the number of collected passes.

add_error(TEST, MESSAGE)

Adds an error to the report.

add_failure(TEST, MESSAGE)

Adds an failure to the report.

add_pass(TEST, MESSAGE)

Adds a pass to the report.

Test::Unit::HarnessUnit¶

This is the test runner which outputs in the same format that Test::Harness expects (Test Anything Protocol). It is derived from Test::Unit::TestRunner.

Test::Unit::Debug¶

The empty class which is provided for compatibility with original Test::Unit framework.

Test::Unit::Lite::AllTests¶

The test suite which searches for test units in t/tlib directory.

t/tlib/SuccessTest.pm¶

This is the simple unit test module.

  package SuccessTest;
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use base 'Test::Unit::TestCase';
  sub test_success {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->assert(1);
  }
  1;

t/all_tests.t¶

This is the test script for Test::Harness called with "make test".

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use File::Spec;
  use Cwd;
  BEGIN {
      unshift @INC, map { /(.*)/; $1 } split(/:/, $ENV{PERL5LIB}) if defined $ENV{PERL5LIB} and ${^TAINT};
      my $cwd = ${^TAINT} ? do { local $_=getcwd; /(.*)/; $1 } : '.';
      unshift @INC, File::Spec->catdir($cwd, 'inc');
      unshift @INC, File::Spec->catdir($cwd, 'lib');
  }
  use Test::Unit::Lite;
  local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { require Carp; Carp::confess("Warning: $_[0]") };
  Test::Unit::HarnessUnit->new->start('Test::Unit::Lite::AllTests');

t/test.pl¶

This is the optional script for calling test suite directly.

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use File::Basename;
  use File::Spec;
  use Cwd;
  BEGIN {
      chdir dirname(__FILE__) or die "$!";
      chdir '..' or die "$!";
      unshift @INC, map { /(.*)/; $1 } split(/:/, $ENV{PERL5LIB}) if defined $ENV{PERL5LIB} and ${^TAINT};
      my $cwd = ${^TAINT} ? do { local $_=getcwd; /(.*)/; $1 } : '.';
      unshift @INC, File::Spec->catdir($cwd, 'inc');
      unshift @INC, File::Spec->catdir($cwd, 'lib');
  }
  use Test::Unit::Lite;
  local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { require Carp; Carp::confess("Warning: $_[0]") };
  all_tests;

This is perl equivalent of shell command line:

  perl -Iinc -Ilib -MTest::Unit::Lite -w -e all_tests
