https://github.com/schwern/test-more/tree/v2.00_06 Apparently the way you make me write code is send me to a Linux conference.
This is the sixth alpha release of Test::Builder2 and it is a big one. Maybe not in lines of code, but in concepts. The major bits are: The Design Is Working --------------------- The biggest thing bout this release is that it's all coming together. The event design is solving old problems and neatly handling new ones. This is an excellent indication of TB2's future flexibility. Test::Builder2::Tester was almost trivial. Test::Builder is getting simpler as more of its state handling and logic is pushed down into events. The number of issues in the tracker is for the first time falling. Slightly. Stable Is In Sight! ------------------- ...through a telescope. But it's a ground based one! I've gone through the issues and tagged everything blocking a stable release. https://github.com/schwern/test-more/issues/labels/Blocking%20Stable I've created a meta-issue listing the requirements for a stable release. https://github.com/schwern/test-more/issues/issue/127 * There are no publicly visible bad ideas in Test::Builder2 * Test::More is using Test::Builder2 (complex use case) o Demonstrates TB2 and TB1 working together * DONE All the Test::Builder stuff still works * DONE A formatter independent Test:: tester is available * Use cases demonstrations o DONE Die/debug on fail (result hooks) o Test::Warn/Exception (nested, but independent, asserts) o DONE Test::NoWarnings (event hooks) * CPAN works o Except the modules that do evil things to Test::Builder + Unless they're really important # In which case we'll ensure they're updated for TB2 Test::Builder will work with a non TAP formatter ------------------------------------------------ This was a big blocker to letting all the existing Test:: modules play with Test::Builder2. In previous alpha releases, Test::Builder needed to call special methods on the TAP formatter to preserve existing features. Now a lot of that functionality has either been moved into the History (where it belongs so everybody has it) or TB1 makes them optional (ie. calls them in an eval). Test::Builder delegates plan state to History --------------------------------------------- This was another blocker to letting existing Test:: modules play with TB2. Test::Builder was designed as a monolith. It would track things like details of the plan, if the plan had been set, etc. In TB2, things other than Test::Builder might set the plan. So TB1 was being very impolite doing its own tracking. This tracking has been moved into the History object available to everyone as Test::Builder2::History->plan. Test::Builder2::Tester ---------------------- A proof of concept implementation of a Test:: module tester using Test::Builder2. It is very small and elegant. The interface works much like Test::Tester. I would really really really appreciate if other people worked on this so I don't have to. use Test::More; use Test::Builder2::Tester; my $history = capture { plan tests => 2; is "this", "that", "this is that"; ok 1, "pass"; }; my $plan = $history->plan; is $plan->asserts_expected, 2; my $results = $history->results; result_like $results->[0], { is_pass => 0, name => "this is that", file => $0, # Test::More doesn't do diagnostics this way yet # diagnostics => { # have => "this", # want => "that", # }, }; result_like $results->[1], { is_pass => 1, file => $0 }; done_testing; capture() stores everything which happens in the block in its own history which it hands back to the user. You get all the same information which Test::Builder does. The actual functions for testing results are currently lame... but that's ok because you can use any Test:: module you want to test them. This was not planned, but just something which the event design made easy. (If you run this, it's a bit leaky because diagnostics aren't run through the formatter yet, but that will fix itself.) 2.00_06 Thu, 27 Jan 2011 09:58:35 +1000 Incompatible Changes * The EventCoordinator now only has one history object. histories() is now history(). clear_history() and add_histories() are gone. [github 115] * Subtest handling has been removed from the TAP formatter. The design was wrong. It will come back later in a better form [github 120] * Test::Builder2::Counter, History and Formatter are no longer singletons. This is unnecessary, use the objects provided by your EventCoordinator. [github 117] * stream_depth() is now a method on the History object, not the TAP formatter. This makes it available to all event watchers. [github 118] * history is now posted events before the formatter. This lets the formatter ask the history object about the test state. * INNER_accept_event and INNER_accept_result are now gone from the Formatter. Write accept_event and accept_result normally. * TB2->ok will now start the stream if there is not one already New Features * Added Test::Builder2::CanLoad to protect $! and $@ from tests loading modules internally. * Added Test::Builder2::Tester to test Test:: modules independent of their format. [github 112] * Added Test::Builder2::History->plan to capture the plan event so builders don't have to * Test::Builder no longer tracks the plan on its own, it uses the shared History object. [github 125] Bug Fixes * More $@ and $! protection. * Test::Builder now works with non-TAP formatters (or no formatter at all) 2.00_05 Mon, 24 Jan 2011 14:52:27 +1000 Bug Fix * reset() was not grabbing a fresh copy of STDOUT and STDERR Test Fix * Fixed t/Builder/fork_with_new_stdout.t on Windows. 2.00_04 Tue Jan 18 11:50:48 EST 2011 Test Fix * Work around a qr// bug in Debian etch's perl in t/Builder2/NoWarnings.t * Tests looking for Mouse can now correctly find it. New Features * Added a Log event (nothing using it yet) * Added a Comment event (nothing using it yet) Bug Fixes * Upgraded Mouse to 0.87 * Fixed the SimpleHTML example * TB2::Streamer::TAP->error_fh could get accidentally initialized to undef. 2.00_03 Mon Jan 10 09:38:22 EST 2011 Test Fix * Casing mistake in t/CanDupFilehandles.t 2.00_02 Sun Jan 9 21:20:30 EST 2011 Second alpha release of Test::Builder2. Technology Demonstrator. Design complete. Threads broken. Subtests broken. Test::Builder converted to use Test::Builder2 infrastructure. Let's see how much of CPAN this breaks. 2.00_01 Mon Sep 6 14:42:38 2010 -0700 First alpha release of Test::Builder2. Technology Preview. Very incomplete. -- 40. I do not have super-powers. -- The 213 Things Skippy Is No Longer Allowed To Do In The U.S. Army http://skippyslist.com/list/
