178
179=head1 DESCRIPTION
180
f2ac83ee
GS
181L<Test::Harness> expects to see particular output when it executes
182tests. This module aims to make writing proper test scripts just a
183little bit easier (and less error prone :-).
7b13a3f5 184
3238f5fe 185=head1 TEST TYPES
7b13a3f5
JP
186
187=over 4
188
189=item * NORMAL TESTS
190
f2ac83ee 191These tests are expected to succeed. If they don't something's
3238f5fe 192screwed up!
7b13a3f5
JP
193
194=item * SKIPPED TESTS
195
f2ac83ee
GS
196Skip is for tests that might or might not be possible to run depending
197on the availability of platform specific features. The first argument
198should evaluate to true (think "yes, please skip") if the required
199feature is not available. After the first argument, skip works
3238f5fe 200exactly the same way as do normal tests.
7b13a3f5
JP
201
202=item * TODO TESTS
203
f2ac83ee
GS
204TODO tests are designed for maintaining an B<executable TODO list>.
205These tests are expected NOT to succeed. If a TODO test does succeed,
206the feature in question should not be on the TODO list, now should it?
7b13a3f5 207
f2ac83ee 208Packages should NOT be released with succeeding TODO tests. As soon
7b13a3f5 209as a TODO test starts working, it should be promoted to a normal test
f2ac83ee
GS
210and the newly working feature should be documented in the release
211notes or change log.
7b13a3f5
JP
212
213=back
214
f2ac83ee
GS
215=head1 RETURN VALUE
216
217Both C<ok> and C<skip> return true if their test succeeds and false
218otherwise in a scalar context.
219
8b3be1d1
JP
220=head1 ONFAIL
221
222 BEGIN { plan test => 4, onfail => sub { warn "CALL 911!" } }
223
f2ac83ee
GS
224While test failures should be enough, extra diagnostics can be
225triggered at the end of a test run. C<onfail> is passed an array ref
226of hash refs that describe each test failure. Each hash will contain
227at least the following fields: C<package>, C<repetition>, and
228C<result>. (The file, line, and test number are not included because
f610777f 229their correspondence to a particular test is tenuous.) If the test
f2ac83ee
GS
230had an expected value or a diagnostic string, these will also be
231included.
232
233The B<optional> C<onfail> hook might be used simply to print out the
234version of your package and/or how to report problems. It might also
235be used to generate extremely sophisticated diagnostics for a
236particularly bizarre test failure. However it's not a panacea. Core
237dumps or other unrecoverable errors prevent the C<onfail> hook from
238running. (It is run inside an C<END> block.) Besides, C<onfail> is
239probably over-kill in most cases. (Your test code should be simpler
8b3be1d1
JP
240than the code it is testing, yes?)
