Thank you, you just gave me a wonderful idea:
use Test::More tests => 2;
test_block {
skip "Pigs can't fly" unless $pig->can('fly');
$pig->takeoff;
ok( $pig->altitude > 0 );
ok( $pig->airspeed > 0 );
} 2;
skip() will throw an exception. test_block() will catch that
exception and print something like:
ok 1 # skipped Pigs can't fly
ok 2 # skipped Pigs can't fly
(since we told test_block how many tests are inside it). If no_plan
is set, you don't need to tell test_block how many tests are in there.
todo works much the same:
use Test::More tests => 2;
test_block {
todo "Give pigs wings" unless $pig->can('fly');
$pig->takeoff;
ok( $pig->altitude > 0 );
ok( $pig->airspeed > 0 );
};
todo() sets a flag, ok() notes that flag and acts normally but puts in
the extra # TODO and reason.
not ok 1 # TODO Give pigs wings
not ok 2 # TODO Give pigs wings
Its not necessary to tell the test_block() how many tests there are
since it always runs them. test_block() resets the todo flag at the
end of the block.
I think this will work. I just need a better name than test_block().
