Test::M...:Inspect(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Okay bestie, this page is all about Test::Magpie::Inspect — and yes, it’s a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation 💅 — and its whole job is to inspect method invocations on mock objects. Periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

           my $mock = mock;
           $mock->something({ deep => { structure => [] }};
           my $invocation = inspect($mock)->something(anything);
           ok(defined $invocation, 'something was called');
           is_deeply(($invocation->arguments)[0],
               { deep => { structure => [] }})

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Inspecting a mock object lets you write tests that are slightly clearer than having a complex verification call. No cap, that’s the whole mood. 🫶

So inspect in Test::Magpie gives back an object of this class that has the same API as your mock object. When a method is called, it checks if any invocation matches its name and argument specification (inspectors can use argument matchers). If so, it will return that invocation as a Test::Magpie::Invocation object. Otherwise, undef is returned. That’s the vibe check, and it’s literally that simple. ✨
