NAME¶

Test2::Require::Module - Skip tests if certain packages are not installed, or insufficient versions.

DESCRIPTION¶

Sometimes you have tests that are nice to run, but depend on tools that may not be available. Instead of adding the tool as a dep, or making the test always skip, it is common to make the test run conditionally. This package helps make that possible.

This module is modeled after Test::Requires. The difference is that this module is based on Test2 directly, and does not go through Test::Builder. Another difference is that the packages you check for are not imported into your namespace for you. This is intentional.

SYNOPSIS¶

    # The test will be skipped unless Some::Module is installed, any version.
    use Test2::Require::Module 'Some::Module';
    # The test will be skipped unless 'Other::Module' is installed and at
    # version '5.555' or greater.
    use Test2::Require::Module 'Other::Module' => '5.555';
    # We now need to use them directly, Test2::Require::Module does not import
    # them for us.
    use Some::Module;
    use Other::Module;
