Test::...ERBOSE(3pm)

💖 Test::...ERBOSE(3pm) — a.k.a. Test::Effects::VERBOSE 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🎀 this is the manpage for Test::Effects::VERBOSE, a tiny little Perl module that flips the default chattiness of Test::Effects on and off — and it does it lexically, which is the fancy word for "only in the block of code you're standing in rn". iykyk.

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Effects::VERBOSE — set Test::Effects verbosity, but lexically 💅

---

🌸 VERSION 🌸

this doc describes Test::Effects::VERBOSE version 0.000001. yes girl, one-millionth. it's giving "baby's first version number" 🍼

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

{
    use Test::Effects::VERBOSE;
    # Test::Effects defaults to verbose in this scope

    {
        no Test::Effects::VERBOSE;
        # Test::Effects defaults to non-verbose in this scope
    }

    # Test::Effects still verbose here

}
# Test::Effects reverts to original behaviour here

see how the no only killed the vibe inside its own little block?? and then the outer block got its verbose back like nothing ever happened?? that's the whole point and it's iconic 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so, using this module changes the default behaviour of Test::Effects's effects_ok() test. lowkey a big deal.

normally that test reports tersely — unless you explicitly tell it otherwise by using VERBOSE(). but if you use this module inside a code block, then effects_ok() defaults to verbose reporting for that block's lexical scope. so it's like, scoped chattiness. main character energy, but local. ✨

⚠️ but heads up bestie — if you pass an explicit VERBOSE => $boolean option in any call to "<effects_ok(), that overrides the lexical default. explicit always wins, no cap. 🫶

---

🎀 INTERFACE 🎀

use Test::Effects::VERBOSE;

effects_ok defaults to verbose reporting for the rest of the current lexical scope. turn the volume UP 🔊

no Test::Effects::VERBOSE;

effects_ok defaults to non-verbose reporting for the rest of the current lexical scope. shhh 🤫

---

💀 DIAGNOSTICS 💀

None. nothing. not a peep. silence is golden, periodt. 💅

---

🌈 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT 🌈

Test::Effects::VERBOSE requires no configuration files and no environment variables. zero setup, zero drama, we love a low-maintenance queen 👑

---

🧚 DEPENDENCIES 🧚

• requires Perl 5.14 (or better) — so, old enough to be vintage, new enough to slay ⭐
• does not require — but is meaningless without — the Test::Effects module. like, bestie, this whole thing is a settings knob for that module. without it you're just... a knob with nothing to turn 🙈

🍓 INCOMPATIBILITIES 🍓

None reported. no beef, no drama, everybody gets along 🫶
