NAME

Test::Stream::DeepCheck::Meta - Base class for deep structure checks.

EXPERIMENTAL CODE WARNING

This is an experimental release! Test-Stream, and all its components are still in an experimental phase. This dist has been released to cpan in order to allow testers and early adopters the chance to write experimental new tools with it, or to add experimental support for it into old tools.

PLEASE DO NOT COMPLETELY CONVERT OLD TOOLS YET. This experimental release is very likely to see a lot of code churn. API's may break at any time. Test-Stream should NOT be depended on by any toolchain level tools until the experimental phase is over.

DESCRIPTION

This package lets you add meta-checks against a datastructure (what type it is, etc). This is used in addition to structure specific tests such as array elements, hash fields, object methods, etc.

METHODS

$meta->add_meta($name, $check)

Add a meta check, the name is used for debugging, the check should be an instance of Test::Stream::DeepCheck::Check.

$meta->verify_meta($got, $state)

Run the checks against $got using the provided Test::Stream::DeepCheck::State object to track things.

$arrayref = $meta->meta

Get the arrayref of meta-checks

$dbg = $meta->debug

File+Line info for the state. This will be an Test::Stream::DebugInfo object.
