package ExtUtils::TBone; =head1 NAME ExtUtils::TBone - a "skeleton" for writing "t/*.t" test files. =head1 SYNOPSIS Include a copy of this module in your t directory (as t/ExtUtils/TBone.pm), and then write your t/*.t files like this: use lib "./t"; # to pick up a ExtUtils::TBone use ExtUtils::TBone; # Make a tester... here are 3 different alternatives: my $T = typical ExtUtils::TBone; # standard log my $T = new ExtUtils::TBone; # no log my $T = new ExtUtils::TBone "testout/Foo.tlog"; # explicit log # Begin testing, and expect 3 tests in all: $T->begin(3); # expect 3 tests $T->msg("Something for the log file"); # message for the log # Run some tests: $T->ok($this); # test 1: no real info logged $T->ok($that, # test 2: logs a comment "Is that ok, or isn't it?"); $T->ok(($this eq $that), # test 3: logs comment + vars "Do they match?", This => $this, That => $that); # That last one could have also been written... $T->ok_eq($this, $that); # does 'eq' and logs operands $T->ok_eqnum($this, $that); # does '==' and logs operands # End testing: $T->end; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module is intended for folks who release CPAN modules with "t/*.t" tests. It makes it easy for you to output syntactically correct test-output while at the same time logging all test activity to a log file. Hopefully, bug reports which include the contents of this file will be easier for you to investigate. =head1 LOG FILE A typical log file output by this module looks like this: 1..3 ** A message logged with msg(). ** Another one. 1: My first test, using test(): how'd I do? 1: ok 1 ** Yet another message. 2: My second test, using test_eq()... 2: A: The first string 2: B: The second string 2: not ok 2 3: My third test. 3: ok 3 END Each test() is logged with the test name and results, and the test-number prefixes each line. This allows you to scan a large file easily with "grep" (or, ahem, "perl"). A blank line follows each test's record, for clarity. =head1 PUBLIC INTERFACE =cut # Globals: use strict; use vars qw($VERSION); use FileHandle; use File::Basename; # The package version, both in 1.23 style *and* usable by MakeMaker: $VERSION = substr q$Revision: 1.1.1.1 $, 10; #------------------------------ =head2 Construction =over 4 =cut #------------------------------ =item new [ARGS...] I Create a new tester. Any arguments are sent to log_open(). =cut sub new { my $self = bless { OUT =>\*STDOUT, Begin=>0, End =>0, Count=>0, }, shift; $self->log_open(@_) if @_; $self; } #------------------------------ =item typical I Create a typical tester. Use this instead of new() for most applicaitons. The directory "testout" is created for you automatically, to hold the output log file. =cut sub typical { my $class = shift; my ($tfile) = basename $0; unless (-d "testout") { mkdir "testout", 0755 or die "Couldn't create a 'testout' subdirectory: $!\n"; ### warn "$class: created 'testout' directory\n"; } $class->new($class->catfile('.', 'testout', "${tfile}log")); } #------------------------------ # DESTROY #------------------------------ # Class method, destructor. # Automatically closes the log. # sub DESTROY { $_[0]->log_close; } #------------------------------ =back =head2 Doing tests =over 4 =cut #------------------------------ =item begin NUMTESTS I Start testing. =cut sub begin { my ($self, $n) = @_; return if $self->{Begin}++; $self->l_print("1..$n\n\n"); print {$self->{OUT}} "1..$n\n"; } #------------------------------ =item end I End testing. =cut sub end { my ($self) = @_; return if $self->{End}++; $self->l_print("END\n"); print {$self->{OUT}} "END\n"; } #------------------------------ =item ok BOOL, [TESTNAME], [PARAMHASH...] I Do a test, and log some information connected with it. Use it like this: $T->ok(-e $dotforward); Or better yet, like this: $T->ok((-e $dotforward), "Does the user have a .forward file?"); Or even better, like this: $T->ok((-e $dotforward), "Does the user have a .forward file?", User => $ENV{USER}, Path => $dotforward, Fwd => $ENV{FWD}); That last one, if it were test #3, would be logged as: 3: Does the user have a .forward file? 3: User: "alice" 3: Path: "/home/alice/.forward" 3: Fwd: undef 3: ok You get the idea. Note that defined quantities are logged with delimiters and with all nongraphical characters suitably escaped, so you can see evidence of unexpected whitespace and other badnasties. Had "Fwd" been the string "this\nand\nthat", you'd have seen: 3: Fwd: "this\nand\nthat" And unblessed array refs like ["this", "and", "that"] are treated as multiple values: 3: Fwd: "this" 3: Fwd: "and" 3: Fwd: "that" =cut sub ok { my ($self, $ok, $test, @ps) = @_; ++($self->{Count}); # next test # Report to harness: my $status = ($ok ?

You shouldn't need to invoke this directly; the destructor does it. =cut sub log_close { my $self = shift; close(delete $self->{LOG}) if $self->{LOG}; } #------------------------------ =item log MESSAGE... I Log a message to the log file. No alterations are made on the text of the message. See msg() for an alternative. =cut sub log { my $self = shift; print {$self->{LOG}} @_ if $self->{LOG}; } #------------------------------ =item msg MESSAGE... I Log a message to the log file. Lines are prefixed with "** " for clarity, and a terminating newline is forced. =cut sub msg { my $self = shift; my $text = join '', @_; chomp $text; $text =~ s{^}{** }gm; $self->l_print($text, "\n"); } #------------------------------ # # l_print MESSAGE... # # Instance method, private. # Print to the log file if there is one. # sub l_print { my $self = shift; print { $self->{LOG} } @_ if $self->{LOG}; } #------------------------------ # # ln_print MESSAGE... # # Instance method, private. # Print to the log file, prefixed by message number. # sub ln_print { my $self = shift; foreach (split /\n/, join('', @_)) { $self->l_print("$self->{Count}: $_\n"); } } #------------------------------ =back =head2 Utilities =over 4 =cut #------------------------------ =item catdir DIR, ..., DIR I Concatenate several directories into a path ending in a directory. Lightweight version of the one in the (very new) File::Spec. Paths are assumed to be absolute. To signify a relative path, the first DIR must be ".", which is processed specially. On Mac, the path I end in a ':'. On Unix, the path I end in a '/'. =cut sub catdir { my $self = shift; my $relative = shift @_ if ($_[0] eq '.'); if ($^O eq 'Mac') { return ($relative ? ':' : '') . (join ':', @_) . ':'; } else { return ($relative ? './' : '/') . join '/', @_; } } #------------------------------ =item catfile DIR, ..., DIR, FILE I Like catdir(), but last element is assumed to be a file. Note that, at a minimum, you must supply at least a single DIR. =cut sub catfile { my $self = shift; my $file = pop; if ($^O eq 'Mac') { return $self->catdir(@_) . $file; } else { return $self->catdir(@_) .
