Test::...Runner(3pm)

💖 Test::...Runner — aka Test::Unit::TestRunner(3pm) ✨

okay bestie, so this is the unit testing framework helper class, and it's the one that actually runs your tests when you're doing the command line thing. Perl doc energy but make it cute. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Test::Unit::TestRunner;

my $testrunner = Test::Unit::TestRunner->new();
$testrunner->start($my_test_class);

that's literally it. import it, make one, start it, slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class is the test runner for the command line style use of the testing framework. like, it's the main character that makes your tests go 📈

it's what powers simple command line tools, for example the TestRunner.pl script that ships with the distribution. yep, that one. no cap.

btw it needs one argument: the name of the class that encapsulates the tests you want to run. that's the whole vibe check. 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -wait — pauses and waits for you to confirm before moving on between tests. very "are you sure bestie" of it. 🛑
• -v — version info. just the infoooo. 🔥
