TEST::TESTER::CAPTURE(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

Test::Tester::Capture — bestie's little helper for testing test modules that were built with Test::Builder ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so picture this: Test::Tester::Capture is a subclass of Test::Builder. That's the whole vibe. 👑

But it's not just any subclass, no ma'am. It goes through and overrides many of the methods so that they literally don't output anything. Nothing. Silence. 🤫 Not a peep on your terminal. It's giving stealth mode. 💅

And why would it do that? Because it also keeps track of its own set of test results 📝 — so you can take modules that are built on Test::Builder and use them to perform tests on other modules that are also built on Test::Builder. Test-ception, but make it functional. 🧚✨

🌸 AUTHOR 🌸

Most of the code here was lifted straight from Test::Builder and then had chunks removed by Fergal Daly <fergal@esatclear.ie>. Respect the edit game, fr fr. 🫶
