NAME

Config::IniFiles::Check::Health - check ini-files for needed values

VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

use Config::IniFiles::Check::Health;

# see new()

DESCRIPTION

Config-IniFiles-Check-Health

Working with Config::IniFiles needs to check the ini-files for

* checking for existing, needed values in the sections * double-vars in a single section * do all needed sections exist

SYNOPSIS

my $ini_fn = 'utf8convertbin.ini';
my $ini_obj = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => $ini_fn );

Log::Log4perl::ConfigByInifile->new(
    { ini_obj => $ini_obj, }
);
my $logger = get_logger();

my $ini_health_checker_obj = Config::IniFiles::Check::Health->new({
    logger => $logger,
    ini_obj => $ini_obj
});

# Work to be done:
$ini_health_checker_obj->check_inifile_for_values({
    values_must_exists => [
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_latin1_dn' },
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_utf8_dn' },
    ]
});

$ini_health_checker_obj->check_for_sections({
    sections_must_exist => [ qw(log4perl inifiles) ]
});

$ini_health_checker_obj->check_inifile_for_values({
    values_must_exists => [
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_latin1_dn' },
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_utf8_dn' },
    ]
});

FUNCTIONS

new

my $ini_fn = 'utf8convertbin.ini';
my $ini_obj = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => $ini_fn );

my $ini_health_checker_obj = Config::IniFiles::Check::Health->new({
    # Log4perl-definition is a section in the inifile
    # so: firstly undef
    logger => undef,
    ini_obj => $ini_obj
    # optional, with default value
    errors_are_fatal => 1
});
$ini_health_checker_obj->check_for_sections({
    sections_must_exist => [ qw(log4perl inifiles) ]
});

Log::Log4perl::ConfigByInifile->new(
    { ini_obj => $ini_obj, }
);
my $logger = get_logger();

# Tell about our 
$ini_health_checker_obj->logger($logger);

$ini_health_checker_obj->check_inifile_for_values({
    values_must_exists => [
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_latin1_dn' },
        { section => 'inifiles', varname => 'findus_ini_utf8_dn' },
    ]
});

logger

You can set logger to a real Perl-Log-Objekt or to undef. This is to starte the object and make some tests without having a log-object in the very beginning because the log-object is built with information from the ini-file.

$obj->new({ logger => undef, ...})

# Later...
$obj->logger( Log::Log4perl::get_logger('Bla::Foo') )

errors_are_fatal

You can switch behaviour of the following tests:

$obj->errors_are_fatal(1); # default
# There should be errors, but not die
$obj->errors_are_fatal(0);
$obj->check_for_duplicate_vars_in_one_section('berlin');

check_for_duplicate_vars_in_one_section

$obj->check_for_duplicate_vars_in_all_sections();

check_for_duplicate_vars_in_one_section

Try to avoid double vars entries like this:

; my.ini
[berlin]
dogs=20
dogs=30
cats=10

Usage:

$obj->check_for_duplicate_vars_in_one_section({ section => 'berlin' });

check_for_sections

$ini_health_checker_obj->check_for_sections({
    sections_must_exist => [ qw(berlin vienna) ]
});

check_inifile_for_values

$ini_health_checker_obj->check_inifiles_for_values({
    values_must_exists => [
        { section => 'bla', varname => 'nr_of_cars'},
        { section => 'bla', varname => 'nr_of_dogs'},
    ],
});

_log_error

$self->_log_error("Bad thing");

_log_error

if ($self->errors_are_fatal && $nr_of_errors > 0) {
    $log_msg = sprintf 'Too many errors in check_inifile_for_sections';
    $self->_log_fatal($log_msg);
}
