πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, gather round β€” this page is about Alien::...n::Test(3), which lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your man pages. its whole government name is Alien::Build::Plugin::Test and its job is literally just: probe Alien::Build plugins. that's it. that's the vibe. 🧚

✨ VERSION ✨

we're on version 2.88 babes πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

here's the little snippet, no edits, exactly as it comes:

use alienfile;
plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
  probe    => 'share',
  download => 1,
  extract  => 1,
  build    => 1,
  gather   => 1,
);

like… look at her. so tidy. so unbothered. πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so, Test plugins? they're the ones you pull out when you're writing unit tests for Alien::Build and, like, possibly its plugins too. very behind-the-scenes, very "you'll never see me but you'd be lost without me" energy. πŸ™ˆ

🌸 Alien::Build::Plugin::Test::Mock

this one mocks common steps in an alienfile. that's the whole job description. she shows up, she pretends to be the other steps, she leaves. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨
