TEST2::EVENT::EXCEPTION(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

Test2::Event::Exception — Exception event 💅

Okay so this page is Test2::...xception(3pm) from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide — aka the docs for the Exception event, bestie.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

An exception event will display to STDERR, and it will prevent the overall test file from passing. That's the whole vibe: exception event = not passing, periodt. 😭

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Tiny code moment, no cap:

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

my $ctx = context();
my $event = $ctx->send_event('Exception', error => 'Stuff is broken');

🎀 METHODS 🎀

Inherits from Test2::Event. Also defines:

• $reason = $e->error — the reason for the exception. That's it, that's the method, and it's iconic. 💖

🦋 CAVEATS 🦋

Heads up, bestie: be aware that all exceptions are stringified during construction. Not me warning you for no reason — that's the caveat, fr fr. ⚠️
