SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Test::Ika;
describe 'MessageFilter' => sub {
    my $filter;
    before_each {
        $filter = MessageFilter->new();
    };
    it 'should detect message with profanity word' => sub {
        ok $filter->detect('foo');
    };
    it 'should not detect message without profanity word' => sub {

DESCRIPTION

Test::Ika is yet another BDD framework for Perl5.

This module provides pretty output for testing.

THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT RELEASE. API MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

FAQ

Ika?

This module is dedicated to ikasam_a, a famous Japanese testing engineer.

Why another one?

This module focused to pretty output. Another modules doesn't provide this feature.

Where is 'should'?

I think the keyword 'should' is not a core feature of BDD.

Reporters

Test::Ika provides some reporters.

The spec mode(default)

TAP output(it's enabled under $ENV{HARNESS_ACTIVE} is true)

FUNCTIONS

describe($name, $code)

Create new Test::Ika::ExampleGroup.

context

It's alias of 'describe' function.

it($name, \&code)

Create new Test::Ika::Example.

it($name, $cond, \&code)

Create new conditional Test::Ika::Example.

$cond is usually a sub-routine reference. You can set it with "when" statement.

            

              
              
# run this example, if C<$ENV{TEST_MESSAGE}> returns true
my $cond = sub { $ENV{TEST_MESSAGE} };
it 'should detect message', $cond => sub {
    my $filter = MessageFilter->new('foo');
    ok $filter->detect('hello foo');
};
            
          

when(\&code)

Specify conditional sub-routine.

You can write conditional example as shown below:

            

              
              
it 'should detect message', when { $ENV{TEST_MESSAGE} } => sub {
    my $filter = MessageFilter->new('foo');
    ok $filter->detect('hello foo');
};
            
          

xit($name, \&code)

xit($name, $cond, \&code)

Create new Test::Ika::Example which marked "disabled".

before_suite(\&code)

Register hook for before running suite.

before_all(\&code)

Register hook for before running example group.

before_each(\&code)

Register hook for before running each examples.

This block can receive example and example group.

            

              
              
before_each {
    my ($example, $group) = @_;
    # ...
};
            
          

after_suite(\&code)

Register hook for after running suite.

after_all(\&code)

Register hook for after running example group.

after_each(\&code)

Register hook for after running each examples.

This block can receive example and example group.

            

              
              
after_each {
    my ($example, $group) = @_;
    # ...
};
            
          

runtests()

Do run test cases immediately.

Normally, you don't call this method expressly. Test::Ika runs test cases on END { } phase.

CLASS METHODS

Test::Ika->reporter()

Get a reporter instance.

Test::Ika->set_reporter($module)

Load a reporter class.
