💅 Test2::...::Assert(3pm) — the whole vibe check

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Perl Programmers Reference Guide (yes that's the manual name, it's giving official ✨), and it's all about one little facet. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::EventFacet::Assert — the facet that's literally the receipts for an assertion, bestie. it's the thing that says "yeah, an assertion happened" 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so. the assertion facet is provided by any event that represents an assertion that was made. that's it, that's the whole job. every assertion event carries this facet, no cap 🫶

🦋 FIELDS 🦋

here's where it gets juicy. every field comes in two flavors — the raw hashref key and a method — because flexibility is iconic 👑

  • $string = $assert->{details} / $string = $assert->details() — a human readable description of the assertion. like, words. for humans. you know the drill 📝
  • $bool = $assert->{pass} / $bool = $assert->pass() — true if the assertion passed. if it's true, slay 💅 if not... well 😭
  • $bool = $assert->{no_debug} / $bool = $assert->no_debug() — set this to true if you've already provided custom diagnostics and you do not want the defaults to be displayed. basically "i got this, back off" 🙈
  • $int = $assert->{number} / $int = $assert->number() — (optional) assertion number. this may be omitted or ignored. it's usually only useful when you're parsing/processing TAP.
⚠️ heads up bestie: this is not set by the Test2 system. the assertion number isn't even known until AFTER the assertion has been processed. this attribute is part of the spec only for harnesses. literally only for harnesses, iykyk 🔥
