TEST2::EVENT::EXCEPTION(3perl)

💅 Test2::Event::Exception — the manual page, but make it cute

okay so bestie, say hi to Test2::Event::Exception from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide (that's the 3perl section, iykyk). It's a whole little module for when something goes wrong wrong and you need the test suite to Know About It. ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Test2::Event::Exception — the Exception event 💀✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically: an exception event is that girl who shows up to STDERR to announce the drama. 📢

And not only does it spill all the tea to STDERR — it literally prevents the overall test file from passing. No passing grade for you, babes. The test file is not passing. It's giving "you shall not pass" but make it Perl. 🚫💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the vibe, copy-paste ready, no cap:

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

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->send_event('Exception', error => 'Stuff is broken');

that's it, that's the whole thing. iconic. 🫶

---

✨ METHODS ✨

Inherits from Test2::Event (so it's already got the family genes 💜). Also defines:

• $reason = $e->error — this is where you find out why the exception happened. The reason. The lore. The whole backstory. 🍓

---

👑 CAVEATS 👑

Heads up bestie: all exceptions are stringified during construction. So whatever you throw at it, it becomes a string. That's just the rule. Not me being dramatic, that's literally what the page says. 💅
