💖 NAME 💖

Test2::IPC::Driver::Files — the temp dir + files concurrency model, bestie. That's the whole vibe. 🗂️✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so listen. This is the default concurrency model for Test2, and it's also the fallback one — like the reliable friend who shows up no matter what. 👑

What does it actually do? It sends events between processes and threads by writing serialized files into a temporary directory. That's the whole trick. It is not particularly fast — ngl, it's giving "walking instead of teleporting" — but the way that it works everywhere?? Iconic. It just works. Everywhere. Periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test2::IPC::Driver::Files;

# IPC is now enabled

That's it. You load it, IPC is on, we move. 🦋

🎀 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES 🎀

  • T2_KEEP_TEMPDIR=0 — when this is true, the tempdir that the IPC driver uses will not get deleted when the test is done. So if you're the nosy type who wants to peek at what's left behind (no judgment, same), set this. Otherwise? Gone. Poof. 💨
  • T2_TEMPDIR_TEMPLATE='test2-XXXXXX' — this one sets the template for the IPC temp dir, and lowkey it has rules: the template should follow the template specifications from File::Temp. So don't just freestyle it, okay? Respect the XXXXXX. 🧚

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

  • See Test2::IPC::Driver for methods. Go read that one too, bestie, it's the whole method situation. 📖
