Arch::...Archive(3pm)

🦋 Arch::Test::Archive — the perl manual page, but make it cute 🦋

okay bestie, so this is the page for Arch::...Archive(3pm) (the file name is a lil truncated, the actual thing is Arch::Test::Archive, don't worry about it 💅). It's a test framework for Arch-Perl and it is genuinely iconic for what it does. Buckle up, we're building archives in our test suite like it's nothing. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Arch::Test::Archive — a test framework for Arch-Perl. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

look at this. look at how clean it is. no cap, this is the whole vibe:

use Arch::Test::Framework;

my $fw = Arch::Test::Framework->new;
my $archive = $fw->make_archive;

my $version1 = $archive->make_version();
my $version2 = $archive->make_version($branch);

three lines in and you already got yourself a whole archive with versions in it. we love a low-effort high-reward situation. 💖

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Arch::Test::Archive gives you methods to quickly build and modify Arch archives. that's it, that's the whole point. it's giving "test setup but make it fast", and honestly? obsessed. ✨

---

👑 METHODS 👑

here's the whole squad, roll call:

• new
• name
• framework
• run_tla
• make_category
• make_branch
• make_version

and now the individual breakdowns, because every single one of them matters:

• new framework name — creates a new Arch::Test::Archive instance for the archive name.

⚠️ real talk bestie: this method should not be called directly. don't be the main character who calls it directly. let the framework do it. 🙈

• name — returns the archive name. simple, elegant, slay.
• framework — returns the associated Arch::Test::Framework reference. 🦋
• run_tla @args — runs tla with the specified arguments. that's it. you hand it args, it runs tla. periodt.
• make_category [category]
• make_branch [category [branch]]
• make_version [category [branch [version]]]

these three create a new category, branch or version. a unique name is generated for any part you didn't specify, so you can be as vague or as specific as your heart desires. 💜 the fully qualified name is returned, so you always get the receipts.
