Test::A...:Helpers(3)

💖 Test::A...:Helpers 💖

okay so bestie, this is Test::Able::Helpers, a little gem from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::Able::Helpers — literally a whole collection of helper mixins and I'm obsessed 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test::Able::Helpers;

my $t = MyTest;
$t->shuffle_methods;
$t->run_tests;

see? three lines. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so Test::Able::Helpers is a collection of mixin methods that can be exported into the calling test class. no cap. they're here to make doing some things with Test::Able easier, because you deserve nice things. 🎀

if you want actual example usages, go peek at Test::Able::Cookbook — that's where the receipts live. iykyk 👑

💜 METHODS 💜

🌟 prune_super_methods

Removes any test-related methods from the associated method list if it's from a superclass — and by "from a superclass" we mean literally not from $self's class. so if it came from somewhere above you in the inheritance tree? gone. ✂️

by default it does this for all test-related method types. but if you only wanna prune specific ones, you can optionally pass type names as args to limit which types get the treatment. your call, main character. 🫶

🍓 shuffle_methods

Randomizes the test-related method lists. yes. shuffles them. chaos but make it organized. 🔥

by default it does this for all test-related method types. and again — type names can be optionally provided as args to limit what types this gets done for. 🌈

🧚 get_loop_plan

Calculates the plan for a test method when it's used in a "Loop-Driven" context. this assumes the setup and teardown method lists are being explicitly run as many times as the test method itself. ⭐

it has two required args: the test method name, and the test count.

• the test method name is what's used to look up the plan of the test method itself 👀
• the test count is the number of times that test method is gonna be called 🔢
