Test2::...::Simple(3)

Bestie, welcome to Test2::...::Simple(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. The main character here is Test2::Bundle::Simple, and the vibes are very “almost drop-in, but read the fine print.” 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test2::Bundle::Simple — ALMOST a drop-in replacement for Test::Simple. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This bundle is intended to be a (mostly) drop-in replacement for Test::Simple. See “KEY DIFFERENCES FROM Test::Simple” for details. No cap, the “mostly” is doing important work here. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Test2::Bundle::Simple;

ok(1, "pass");

done_testing;

Slay, that’s the whole little vibe check. 🎀

🧩 PLUGINS 🧩

This loads Test2::Plugin::ExitSummary. That’s the plug-in moment. 🔌

🛠️ TOOLS 🛠️

These are all from Test2::Tools::Basic. Iconic little toolbox, fr fr. 🧰

• ok($bool, $name) — run a test. If bool is true, the test passes. If bool is false, it fails. Simple queen behavior. ✅❌
• plan($count) — tell the system how many tests to expect. Gotta set the expectations, bestie. 🔢
• skip_all($reason) — tell the system to skip all the tests. Heads up: this will exit the script. 💀
• done_testing(); — tell the system that all tests are complete. You can use this instead of setting a plan. Very “we’re done here” energy. 🫶

💅 KEY DIFFERENCES FROM Test::Simple 💅

🚫 You cannot plan at import.

THIS WILL NOT WORK:

use Test2::Bundle::Simple tests => 5;

Instead you must plan in a separate statement:

use Test2::Bundle::Simple;
plan 5;

📝 You have three subs imported for use in planning

Use plan($count), skip_all($reason), or done_testing() for your planning. Three little planning besties, no import-time tricks. 🌈
