NAME

Test::Stream::Plugin::Capture - Plugin for capturing STDERR and STDOUT.

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 plugin provides the capture { ... } function which can be used to capture all STDERR and STDOUT output from the code in the provided codeblock. This will not intercept TAP output from Test::Stream itself, so it is safe to run tests within the block.

SYNOPSIS

    is(
        capture {
            print STDERR "First STDERR\n";
            print STDOUT "First STDOUT\n";
            print STDERR "Second STDERR\n";
            print STDOUT "Second STDOUT\n";
        },
        {
            STDOUT => "First STDOUT\nSecond STDOUT\n",
            STDERR => "First STDERR\nSecond STDERR\n",
        },
        "Captured stdout and stderr"
    );

EXPORTS

$out = capture { ... }

Captures all STDERR and STDOUT output within the codeblock. $out will be a hashref with STDERR and STDOUT as keys. All output is combined into a single string per handle.
