💖 Test2::Require::RealFork 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Perl Programmers Reference Guide ✨ this one's filed under Test2::Require::RealFork in section 3perl, and honestly? it's a tiny module with main character energy. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Require::RealFork — skip a test file unless the system supports true forking 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, writing tests that need to fork? super common, we love that for us. the problem is that not every system supports forking. like, at all. not a vibe. 😭

so this library does the hard work for you — it checks whether forking is actually supported on the current system. and if forking is not supported? it skips all the tests and exits true. periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Test2::Require::RealFork;

... Code that forks ...

look how little you have to type, we love a low-effort queen 👑

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • Test2::Require::Fork — super similar to this module, but it will allow fork emulation. so if you're chill with emulation, go hang out over there 💖
  • Test2::Require::Threads — skips the test file if the system does not support threads. different resource, same protective energy 🧵✨
