💖 NAME 💖

Test2::Event::Fail — the event you get for a simple failed assertion, bestie. It's giving "nope, that test did not pass" and honestly? iconic for it.

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

So like. This is an optimal representation of a failed assertion. That's the whole vibe. When a test fails and you just need the cleanest, most direct way of saying "this flopped," this event is the main character. No extra drama, no notes, just the failure, perfectly packaged. 💅

Not me being the most efficient way to tell you that something didn't work out 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Okay so here's how you'd actually flex this in your own code, fr fr:

use Test2::API qw/context/;

sub fail {
    my ($name) = @_;
    my $ctx = context();
    $ctx->fail($name);
    $ctx->release;
}

See how tidy that is? Grab a context, call fail on it with your $name, then release it. Clean. Organized. The way that every single step has a job and does it? Obsessed. 🎀
