Test::DataDriven 0.03

Test::Base is great Perl module for writing data driven tests, but sometimes you need to test things that cannot be easily expressed using the filter-and-compare-output approach.<br /><br />Test::DataDriven builds upon Test::Base adding the ability to declare actions to be run for each section of each test block. In particular, the processing of each block is divided in three phases: "begin", "run" and "end". The "begin" phase can be used to assess or establish the preconditions for the test. The "run" phase is used to perform some actions. The "end" phase can be used to check the side effects of the "run" phase.<br /><br />SYNOPSIS<br /><br />In the test module:<br /><br /> # t/lib/MyTest.pm<br /> package MyTest;<br /><br /> use Test::DataDriven::Plugin -base;<br /> __PACKAGE__->register;<br /><br /> my $time;<br /> my $result;<br /><br /> sub check_before : Begin(add1) {<br /> my( $block, $section_name, @data ) = @_;<br /> $time = time();<br /> }<br /><br /> sub do_that : Run(add1) {<br /> my( $block, $section_name, @data ) = @_;<br /> $result = add_1( $data[0] );<br /> }<br /><br /> sub check_after : End(result) {<br /> my( $block, $section_name, @data ) = @_;<br /> is( $result, $data[0] );<br /> ok( time() - $time < 1 ); # check side effects<br /> }<br /><br />In the test file:<br /><br /> use MyTest;<br /> use Test::More tests => 4;<br /><br /> Test::DataDriven->run;<br /><br /> __END__<br /><br /> === Test 1<br /> --- add1 chomp<br /> 3<br /> --- result<br /> 4<br /><br /> === Test 1<br /> --- add1 chomp<br /> 7<br /> --- result<br /> 8
