The purpose of the second description would be for use if a test
fails. For example we look at the current output of a successful test
of a module’s META6.json file:
t/000-meta-test.t ..
1..1
ok 1 - have a META file
ok 2 - META parses okay
ok 3 - have all required entries
ok 4 - 'provides' looks sane
ok 5 - Optional 'authors' and not 'author'
ok 6 - License is correct
ok 7 - name has a hypen rather than '::' (if this is intentional
please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok)
ok 8 - no 'v' in version strings (meta-version greater than 0)
ok 9 - version is present and doesn't have an asterisk
ok 10 - have usable source
1..10
ok 1 - Project META file is good
Look particularly at the 7th sub-test results line:
ok 7 - name has a hyphen rather than '::' (if this is intentional
please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok)
To me a **successful** test result description would say something like:
ok 7 - name does not contain a hyphen
and an **unsuccessful** test would use something like the original
single description:
not ok 7 - name has a hyphen rather than '::' (if this is
intentional please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok)
So the test entry in module Test::META file Test/META.pm that currently reads:
ok check-name($meta, :$relaxed-name), \
"name has a hyphen rather than '::' (if this is intentional
please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok)";
could read something like:
ok check-name($meta, :$relaxed-name), \
"name does not contain a hyphen", \
:desc-fail("name has a hyphen rather than '::' (if this is
intentional please pass :relaxed-name to meta-ok))";
