So here's a minimal test class program (v0.24): package Foo;
use Test::More; use Test::NoWarnings; use base 'Test::Class'; INIT { Test::Class->runtests } sub startup : Tests(startup => 1) { ok 1 } sub setup : Tests(setup => 1) { ok 1 } sub some_test : Tests(1) { ok 1 } sub teardown : Tests(teardown => 1) { ok 1 } sub shutdown : Tests(shutdown => 1) { ok 1 } 1; That has a couple of issues. First, the output with 'runtests -v foo.t': foo......1..5 ok 1 ok 2 - some test ok 3 - some test ok 4 - some test ok 5 ok 6 - no warnings # Looks like you planned 5 tests but ran 1 extra. Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) All 5 subtests passed Test Summary Report ------------------- foo.t (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 6 Failed: 1) Failed tests: 6 Non-zero exit status: 255 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 5 tests but ran 6. Files=1, Tests=6, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.10 cusr + 0.02 csys = 0.12 CPU) I cannot easily use 'Test::NoWarnings' because that adds an extra test, thus forcing me to use 'no_plan' with one of my tests. Is there some other way around this? Also, not that when not using test names, the setup and teardown tests are getting the names of the method they're testing, thus obscuring tht we're in setup and teardown. And just to be fair, here's the output when run through 'prove': $ prove -v foo.t foo....1..5 ok 1 # # Foo->some_test ok 2 - some test ok 3 - some test ok 4 - some test ok 5 ok 6 - no warnings # Looks like you planned 5 tests but ran 1 extra. dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED. FAILED test 6 Failed 1/5 tests, 80.00% okay Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------- foo.t 255 65280 5 1 6 Failed 1/1 test scripts. -1/5 subtests failed. Files=1, Tests=5, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.11 cusr + 0.03 csys = 0.14 CPU) Failed 1/1 test programs. -1/5 subtests failed. I note that '# Foo->some_test' isn't showing up with 'runtests', so I'll have to look into that. but other than that, we have the same issues.
