💅 Test2::Event::Bail — the Test2::Event::Bail page, bestie edition

okay so this is Test2::Event::Bail, straight out of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and honestly? it's giving "emergency brake" energy and we're obsessed 🛑✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

Test2::Event::Bail — Bailout! like literally, that's the whole name, no cap 💖

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: the bailout event gets generated when things go horribly wrong and you need to halt all testing in the current file 😭 like, not "oops one test failed" — this is the "we're shutting the whole thing down, bestie" event 🔥

it's the main character of disaster events, fr fr 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test2::API qw/context/;
use Test2::Event::Bail;

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->bail('Stuff is broken');

see how easy that is? grab a context, call bail with your reason, and let the event do its thing 💅

🌸 METHODS 🌸

this one inherits from Test2::Event (yes, it's a whole nepo-baby situation and we love that for it 💜). on top of all that, it also defines:

  • $reason = $e->reason — this hands you back the reason for the bailout, so you can be like "okay but why did everything fall apart" and it'll actually tell you 🫶
