Cache:...Tester(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Cache::BaseCacheTester — the abstract cache tester base class, bestie 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so listen. BaseCacheTester is the base class that hands out all the shared functionality to literally every instance of a class whose whole job is testing cache implementations. It's giving backstage crew energy — nobody claps for it but nothing works without it. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Same vibe as the description, fr fr: BaseCacheTester provides functionality common to all instances of a class that will test cache implementations.

package Cache::MyCacheTester;

use vars qw( @ISA );
use Cache::BaseCacheTester;

@ISA = qw( Cache::BaseCacheTester );

That's the whole setup, no cap. You subclass it, you inherit the tester juice. ✨

🎀 METHODS 🎀

• new( $base_test_count ) — constructs a brand new BaseCacheTester and initializes the test count to $base_test_count. Fresh tester, fresh counter, main character moment. 🫶
• ok( ) — prints a message to stdout in the form "ok $test_count" and increments the test count. Slay, it passed. ✅
• not_ok( $message ) — prints a message to stdout in the form "not ok $test_count # $message " and increments the test count. 😭 the test said no but the counter still goes up.
• skip( $message ) — prints a message to stdout in the form "ok $test_count # skipped $message " and increments the test count. Not a fail, not a pass, just living its truth and skipping. 🙈
