Test::...t::File(3pm)

💖 Test::Reporter::Transport::File — the manual (perl, 3pm, user-contributed Perl documentation, bestie) 💖

okay so. picture this: you're on a plane, no wifi, no signal, nothing, and you STILL gotta file your bug report. that's literally what this module is for. it's Test::Reporter::Transport::File, and it's the File transport for Test::Reporter. yes queen, we're saving to disk. 🦋

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 1.62 — she's serving, she's current 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $report = Test::Reporter->new(
    transport => 'File',
    transport_args => [ $dir ],
);

look at that. transport => 'File', transport_args => [ $dir ]. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this module takes a Test::Reporter report and saves it into the directory you picked — and it does that by using the "write" method from Test::Reporter. no cap, that's the whole job.

the way this is iconic for offline operation?? you can stash your reports while you're offline, and then later — whenever you're back — upload them using "Test::Reporter->read()". bestie it's giving save-your-work energy. 🙈

Test::Reporter->new->read( $file )->send();

so you read the file back and send it. slay. ✨

---

✨ USAGE ✨

for the general how-to, go peek at Test::Reporter and Test::Reporter::Transport. they got the broad strokes, i got the File-specific tea. 🍓

🌸 Transport Arguments 🌸

$report->transport_args( $dir );

this transport class must have a writeable directory as its argument. like, it's not optional, it's not a suggestion, that's the requirement. <pink>$dir</pink> and she better be writeable or we're not going anywhere. 💜

---

✨ METHODS ✨

⚠️ heads up bestie: these methods are only for internal use by Test::Reporter. like, they're not for you to call directly. i'm telling you the facts because that's my job, but stay in your lane, queen. 👑

🎀 new 🎀

my $sender = Test::Reporter::Transport::File->new( $dir );

the "new" method is the object constructor. it makes the thing. that's what constructors do. 💅

🎀 send 🎀

$sender->send( $report );

the "send" method transmits the report. 🌈
