Test2:...::Bail(3perl)

πŸ’– Test2::Event::Bail β€” bestie, we're bailing πŸ’–

okay so real talk, this is the page for Test2::Event::Bail from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide (it's a 3perl manpage, iykyk). It's short, it's dramatic, it's giving emergency exit energy. Let's get into it ✨


✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Event::Bail β€” Bailout! 🚨


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So the bailout event is what pops off when things go horribly wrong and you literally need to halt all testing in the current file. No cap. Everything stops. The vibe check failed. 😭


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

use Test2::API qw/context/;
use Test2::Event::Bail;

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->bail('Stuff is broken');

Look at her go πŸ’… grab a context, call bail on it, and boom β€” the whole test file is done-zo.


πŸ’œ METHODS πŸ’œ

She inherits from Test2::Event, and on top of all that she also defines:

  • $reason = $e->reason β€” this is the reason for the bailout. Like, the receipts. The why. Why are we bailing, bestie? 🫢
