Test2::...ealFork(3)

📦 version 1.302214, in opensuse-leap 16.0

🎀 NAME 🎀

Test2::Require::RealFork — skip a test file unless the system supports true forking.

Also hiii bestie, this page is Test2::...ealFork(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's lowkey a lifesaver when forking is the whole vibe. 💅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so it's fairly common to write tests that need to fork. Not all systems support forking though, and that's not a skill issue, it's just a system thing. This library does the hard work of checking if forking is supported on the current system. If forking is not supported, then this will skip all tests and exit true. Periodt. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

use Test2::Require::RealFork;

... Code that forks ...

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Test2::Require::Fork — Similar to this module, but will allow fork emulation. So if emulation is your thing, go off. 🫶
  • Test2::Require::Threads — Skip the test file if the system does not support threads. Different vibe, same skip energy. 🧚
