NAME

Test::Count - Module for keeping track of the number of tests in a test script.

SYNOPSIS

    $ cat "t/mytest.t" | perl -MTest::Count::Filter -e 'filter()'

DESCRIPTION

Test::Count is a set of perl modules for keeping track of the number of tests in a test file. It works by putting in comments of the form # TEST (one test), # TEST*$EXPR or # TEST+$EXPR (both are multiple tests). Test::Count count these tests throughout the fileand return all of their results.

One can put any mathematical expressions (using parentheses, +, -, *, / and % there). One can also assign variables using # TEST:$myvar=5+6;$second_var=$myvar+3 and later use them in the add to count expressions. A $var++ construct is also available.

One can find example test scripts under t/.

A simple Vim (http://www.vim.org/) function to update the count of the tests in the file is:

    function! Perl_Tests_Count()
        %!perl -MTest::Count::Filter -e 'Test::Count::Filter->new({})->process()'
    endfunction

FUNCTIONS

my $counter = Test::Count->new({'input_fh' => \*MYFILEHANDLE});

Creates a new Test::Count object that process the filehandle specified in 'input_fh'. Optional keys are:

  • 'assert_prefix_regex' => qr{; TEST}

    A regular expression for specifying the prefix for a "TEST" assertion that updates the grammar. Defaults to "# TEST".

$counter->process();

Process the filehandle specified in 'input_fh' in ->new(), and return a hash ref with the following keys:

  • tests_count

    The count of the test.

  • lines

    The lines of the stream as is.
