NAME

Test::Stream::Bundle - Tools to help you write custom bundles.

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

You can reduce your boilerplate by writing your own Test::Stream bundles. A bundle is a set of plugins that get loaded all at once to your specifications.

SYNOPSIS

    package Test::Stream::Bundle::MyBundle;
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    # Gives us an 'import' method that allows this module to be used directly
    # if desired.
    use Test::Stream::Bundle;

    sub plugins {
        return (
            qw{
                IPC
                TAP
                ExitSummary
                Core
                Context
                Exception
                Warnings
                Compare
                Mock
            },
        );
    }

EXPORTS

$class->import()

This import() method gets called when your plugin isused directly use Test::Stream::Bundle::MyBundle. Doing so will load all the specified plugins.

EXPECTED METHODS

@list = $class->plugins()

The plugins() method should return a list of plugins to load. It can also return coderefs which will be run with the original caller arrayref as their only argument.

    sub plugins {
        return (
            qw/Core TAP .../,
            sub {
                my $caller = shift;

                # Package, file, and line that requested the bundle be used.
                my ($pkg, $file, $line) = @$caller;

                ...
            },
        );
    }
