💖 Test::Stream::IPC::Files — the whole vibe 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manpage for Test::Stream::IPC::Files (that's the Test::S...::Files(3) page, she's just going by a nickname up in the header 💅). It's a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation and honestly? she's giving temp-dir realness. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test::Stream::IPC::Files — the Temp dir + Files concurrency model. that's it, that's the name, no notes 🎀

💀 DEPRECATED 💀

bestie. sit down. 😭

This distribution is deprecated in favor of Test2, Test2::Suite, and Test2::Workflow. like, it's not the moment anymore, she's retired, she's living her best life elsewhere.

If you need to migrate your whole thing over, see Test::Stream::Manual::ToTest2 — that's literally the conversion guide, go read it, i believe in you 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this is the default concurrency model for Test::Stream — and also the fallback one, which is a very main-character position to be in honestly 👑

What it does: it sends events between processes and threads using serialized files sitting in a temporary directory. that's the whole trick, no cap 🌈

Is it fast? nope. The manpage says it's not particularily fast — and yes that's the original spelling, we do not fix the original spelling, we respect the original spelling 💖 — but here's the slay: it works everywhere. every single place. it's the friend who shows up no matter what. reliability icon behavior fr fr 🦋

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

you can pull it in like this:

use Test::Stream::IPC::Files;
use Test::Stream ...;

or:

use Test::Stream ..., 'IPC' => ['Files'];

or, if you're feeling extra and wanna be explicit about the whole path:

use Test::Stream ..., 'IPC' => ['+Test::Stream::IPC::Files'];

pick your fighter, they all eat 💅

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

The methods live somewhere else, bestie — go check Test::Stream::IPC for methods. iykyk ⭐
