The test reforms cannot wait for this thread to resurrect.
I intend to begin prototyping tests based on the ideas outlined at
http://poe.perl.org/?POE_RFCs/Test_Reforms. I'll post the code to
the list when it becomes a useful illustration of the process.
Discussion remains open on that plan and alternatives that arise, but
I'm not holding my breath anymore.
I've finally implemented a prototype loosely based on the Test Reforms
discussed several months ago. A snapshot is online at
http://poe.perl.org/poedown/poe-test-prototype.tar.gz . The
t-tools/README file contains a too-detailed explanation of all the
files.
I hope that you will evaluate this prototype and comment on it.
I'm especially interested in better ways to test POE.
Thanks.
If you'd like to try the tests or generate coverage reports from them:
The tarball should be expanded from the directory in POE's source tree
where Makefile.PL resides.
The end of t-tools/README has instructions for building the tests and
running them.
Fixes to POE were necessary to get some of the tests running. You
will therefore need a current CVS snapshot of POE to run the tests.
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15660 tells how to get one.
Thanks again.
