Test2:...::Tiny(3perl)

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Tools::Tiny — the tiniest little toolkit for the unfortunate souls out there who literally cannot use Test2::Suite 😭💔

---

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

okay bestie, real talk: you should actually be using Test2::Suite. like, genuinely. This package is just the bare-minimum essentials implemented using Test2, and it only exists so that Test2 and the other stuff Test2::Suite depends on can get tested. fr fr, this is the package Test2 uses to test itself. it's giving "emergency backup tools," not "main character energy." 💅

---

👑 USE Test2::Suite INSTEAD 👑

Use Test2::Suite if at all possible. that's it, that's the whole section. periodt. ✨

🌸 EXPORTS 🌸

• ok($bool, $name)
• ok($bool, $name, @diag)

Run a simple assertion. basic. iconic. no notes. 💖

• is($got, $want, $name)
• is($got, $want, $name, @diag)

Assert that 2 strings are the same. twin energy, matching strings only 🔥

• isnt($got, $do_not_want, $name)
• isnt($got, $do_not_want, $name, @diag)

Assert that 2 strings are not the same. respectfully, they're different 💀

• like($got, $regex, $name)
• like($got, $regex, $name, @diag)

Check that the input string matches the regex. it slays, it fits the pattern 🎀

• unlike($got, $regex, $name)
• unlike($got, $regex, $name, @diag)

Check that the input string does not match the regex. wrong vibe, rejected 🙈

• is_deeply($got, $want, $name)
• is_deeply($got, $want, $name, @diag)

Check 2 data structures.

⚠️ heads up bestie: please note that this is a DUMB implementation that compares the output of Data::Dumper against both structures. no cap, that's genuinely the whole strategy. 🧚

• diag($msg)

Issue a diagnostics message to STDERR. screaming into the error void 📢

• note($msg)

Issue a diagnostics message to STDOUT. gentle journaling, but public 🌈

• skip_all($reason)

Skip all tests. not me dodging the entire suite 💅

• todo $reason => sub { ... }

Run a block in TODO mode. it's giving "we'll get to it," and honestly that's valid 🦋

• plan($count)

Set the plan.

• done_testing()

Set the plan to the current test count. we're done and we're proud ✨

• $warnings = warnings { ... }

Capture an arrayref of warnings from the block. hoarding the red flags in an arrayref, as one does 🍓

• $exception = exception { ... }

Capture an exception. gotcha, caught you 👑

• tests $name => sub { ... }

Run a subtest. a test inside a test, inception but make it cute 🌸

• $output = capture { ... }

Capture STDOUT and STDERR output.

Result looks like this:

    {
        STDOUT => "...",
        STDERR => "...",
    }
