Test::SharedFork(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so welcome to the Test::SharedFork(3) page — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment, and the module is Test::SharedFork, aka fork test. bestie, that's the name, that's the vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole group-chat demo, exactly:

use Test::More tests => 200;
use Test::SharedFork;

my $pid = fork();
if ($pid == 0) {
    # child
    ok 1, "child $_" for 1..100;
} elsif ($pid) {
    # parent
    ok 1, "parent $_" for 1..100;
    waitpid($pid, 0);
} else {
    die $!;
}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Test::SharedFork is a utility module for Test::Builder. no cap.

this module makes fork(2) safety in your test case. literally, that's the whole serve.

and it merges test count with parent process & child process. that's the merge, bestie. 🫶

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

⚠️ real talk, bestie: this version of the Test::SharedFork does not support ithreads, because threads::shared conflicts with Storable. that's the limit, periodt.
