💖 Test2:...rocess(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, so this page is Test2:...rocess(3pm), from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew, and it's literally about a base class for processes that Test2::Harness::IPC runs. it's giving infrastructure. it's giving "i hold the whole thing together and don't even brag about it". let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Harness::IPC::Process — the base class for processes controlled by Test2::Harness::IPC.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the vibe is: every single process that gets controlled by Test2::Harness::IPC? yeah. it should be subclassing this one. no exceptions, no cap. this is the blueprint and everyone else is just building on it 💅

🎀 ATTRIBUTES 🎀

  • $int = $proc->exit — the exit value, but only if it's actually been set. otherwise you get undef, which is the Perl way of saying "idk her yet" 🙈
  • $stamp = $proc->exit_time — the timestamp of when the process peaced out, if it's been set. otherwise undef. same deal 💀
  • $pid = $proc->pid — the pid of the process, and this one's only there if the process has actually been started. no process, no pid, sorry bestie 😭
  • $cat = $proc->category — this gets set at construction time. and if you didn't bother providing one? it just defaults to 'default' like the chill icon it is ✨

💅 METHODS 💅

  • $opt->set_pid($pid) — sets the process id. boom. done. next ✨
  • $opt->set_exit($ipc, $exit, $time) — marks the process as complete, like officially wrapped. $exit should be the exit value, and $time should be a timestamp. meanwhile $ipc is an instance of Test2::Harness::IPC. all three, together, doing their little thing 🫶
  • $hashref = $opt->spawn_params() — this gets used when the process is being spawned, and its args go to run_cmd() from Test2::Harness::Util::IPC.
⚠️ bestie listen — the base class throws an exception if this method is called. like, this specific one. on this specific class. so don't call it here, okay? subclass it first, then we talk 🙈
