Test::...Action(3pm)

💖 Test::Valgrind::Action 💖

okay so bestie, you found the manual page for Test::Valgrind::Action (that's the 3pm one, Perl docs, you know the vibe) and honestly? it's giving base class energy and we're obsessed 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 1.19 — periodt 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So like, this class is the base for all the Test::Valgrind actions. The blueprint. The blueprint-est blueprint. 🦋

And what's an action, you ask? Actions get called every single time a tool encounters an error, and then they decide what to do with it. Like, passing tests, failing tests, whatever the moment calls for. It's giving main character decision-making, fr fr. 👑

🧚 METHODS 🧚

💜 new

my $tva = Test::Valgrind::Action->new(action => $action);

Creates a brand new action object of type $action, and the way it does that is: it requires the module and redispatches the method call to it. Which module though? 👀

• if $action contains '::', it goes to the module literally named $action
• otherwise it goes to Test::Valgrind::Action::$action

And heads up bestie: the class that $action represents must inherit this class. Non-negotiable. That's the rule. 🙈

🌈 do_suppressions

Tells you if the action wants valgrind to run in suppression-generating mode or in analysis mode. Two modes, one function, iconic behavior honestly. ✨

⭐ start

$tva->start($session);

Called when the $session starts. That's it, that's the moment. 🌅

Defaults to setting started in Test::Valgrind::Component.

🍓 report

$tva->report($session, $report);

Invoked every single time the valgrind process attached to the $session spots an error. And $report? It's a Test::Valgrind::Report object describing that error. Receipts included, no cap. 📝

Defaults to checking started in Test::Valgrind::Component.

💀 abort

$tva->abort($session, $msg);

Triggered when the $session has to interrupt the action. The drama. The tension. 😭

Defaults to croak. So yeah, it's gonna yell at you. That's the default, bestie, we don't make the rules. 🐸

🫶 finish

$tva->finish($session);

Called when the $session finishes. Cleanup era. 🧹

Defaults to clearing started in Test::Valgrind::Component.

👑 status

$tva->status($session);

Returns the status code corresponding to the last run of the action. The final answer. The vibe check result. 💅
