# This is the main testing sub-routine. The $input parameter should be a
# text string or a filehandle reference (e.g. GLOB or IO::Handle) from
# which the input text can be read. The input should contain a number
# of tests which are split up and processed individually, comparing the
# generated output against the expected output. Tests should be defined
# as follows:
#
# -- test --
# test input
# -- expect --
# expected output
#
# -- test --
# etc...
#
# The number of tests is determined and ntests() is called to generate
# the "0..$n" line compatible with Test::Harness. Each test input is
# then processed by the Template object passed as the second parameter,
# $template. This may also be a hash reference containing configuration
# which are used to instantiate a Template object, or may be left
# undefined in which case a default Template object will be instantiated.
# The third parameter, also optional, may be a reference to a hash array
# defining template variables. This is passed to the template process()
# method.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Template::Test> module defines the L<test_expect()> and other related
subroutines which can be used to automate test scripts for the
Template Toolkit. See the numerous tests in the F<t> sub-directory of
the distribution for examples of use.
=head1 PACKAGE SUBROUTINES
=head2 text_expect()
The C<test_expect()> subroutine splits an input document into a number
of separate tests, processes each one using the Template Toolkit and
then compares the generated output against an expected output, also
specified in the input document. It generates the familiar
C<ok>/C<not ok> output compatible with C<Test::Harness>.
The test input should be specified as a text string or a reference to
a filehandle (e.g. C<GLOB> or C<IO::Handle>) from which it can be read. In
particular, this allows the test input to be placed after the C<__END__>
marker and read via the C<DATA> filehandle.
use Template::Test;
test_expect(\*DATA);
__END__
# this is the first test (this is a comment)
-- test --
blah blah blah [% foo %]
-- expect --
blah blah blah value_of_foo
# here's the second test (no surprise, so is this)
-- test --
more blah blah [% bar %]
-- expect --
more blah blah value_of_bar
Blank lines between test sections are generally ignored. Any line starting
with C<#> is treated as a comment and is ignored.
The second and third parameters to C<test_expect()> are optional. The second
may be either a reference to a Template object which should be used to
process the template fragments, or a reference to a hash array containing
configuration values which should be used to instantiate a new Template
object.
# pass reference to config hash
my $config = {
INCLUDE_PATH => '/here/there:/every/where',
POST_CHOMP => 1,
};
test_expect(\*DATA, $config);
# or create Template object explicitly
my $template = Template->new($config);
test_expect(\*DATA, $template);
The third parameter may be used to reference a hash array of template
variable which should be defined when processing the tests. This is
passed to the L<Template> L<process()|Template#process()> method.
my $replace = {
a => 'alpha',
b => 'bravo',
};
test_expect(\*DATA, $config, $replace);
The second parameter may be left undefined to specify a default L<Template>
configuration.
test_expect(\*DATA, undef, $replace);
For testing the output of different L<Template> configurations, a
reference to a list of named L<Template> objects also may be passed as
the second parameter.
my $tt1 = Template->new({ ... });
my $tt2 = Template->new({ ... });
my @tts = [ one => $tt1, two => $tt1 ];
The first object in the list is used by default. Other objects may be
switched in with a 'C<-- use $name -->' marker. This should immediately
follow a 'C<-- test -->' line. That object will then be used for the rest
of the test, or until a different object is selected.
-- test --
-- use one --
[% blah %]
-- expect --
blah, blah
-- test --
still using one...
-- expect --
...
-- test --
-- use two --
[% blah %]
-- expect --
blah, blah, more blah
The C<test_expect()> sub counts the number of tests, and then calls L<ntests()>
to generate the familiar "C<1..$ntests\n>" test harness line. Each
test defined generates two test numbers. The first indicates
that the input was processed without error, and the second that the
output matches that expected.
Additional test may be run before C<test_expect()> by calling L<ok()>. These
test results are cached until L<ntests()> is called and the final number of
tests can be calculated. Then, the "C<1..$ntests>" line is output, along with
"C<ok $n>" / "C<not ok $n>" lines for each of the cached test result.
Subsequent calls to L<ok()> then generate an output line immediately.
my $something = SomeObject->new();
ok( $something );
my $other = AnotherThing->new();
ok( $other );
test_expect(\*DATA);
If any tests are to follow after C<test_expect()> is called then these
should be pre-declared by setting the C<$EXTRA> package variable. This
value (default: C<0>) is added to the grand total calculated by L<ntests()>.
The results of the additional tests are also registered by calling L<ok()>.
$Template::Test::EXTRA = 2;
# can call ok() any number of times before test_expect()
ok( $did_that_work );
ok( $make_sure );
ok( $dead_certain );
# <some> number of tests...
test_expect(\*DATA, $config, $replace);
# here's those $EXTRA tests
ok( defined $some_result && ref $some_result eq 'ARRAY' );
ok( $some_result->[0] eq 'some expected value' );
If you don't want to call C<test_expect()> at all then you can call
C<ntests($n)> to declare the number of tests and generate the test
header line. After that, simply call L<ok()> for each test passing
a true or false values to indicate that the test passed or failed.
ntests(2);
ok(1);
ok(0);
If you're really lazy, you can just call L<ok()> and not bother declaring
the number of tests at all. All tests results will be cached until the
end of the script and then printed in one go before the program exits.
ok( $x );
ok( $y );
You can identify only a specific part of the input file for testing
using the 'C<-- start -->' and 'C<-- stop -->' markers. Anything before the
first 'C<-- start -->' is ignored, along with anything after the next
'C<-- stop -->' marker.
-- test --
this is test 1 (not performed)
-- expect --
this is test 1 (not performed)
-- start --
-- test --
this is test 2
-- expect --
this is test 2
-- stop --
...
=head2 ntests()
Subroutine used to specify how many tests you're expecting to run.
=head2 ok($test)
Generates an "C<ok $n>" or "C<not ok $n>" message if C<$test> is true or false.
=head2 not_ok($test)
The logical inverse of L<ok()>. Prints an "C<ok $n>" message is C<$test> is
I<false> and vice-versa.
=head2 callsign()
For historical reasons and general utility, the module also defines a
C<callsign()> subroutine which returns a hash mapping the letters C<a>
to C<z> to their phonetic alphabet equivalent (e.g. radio callsigns).
This is used by many of the test scripts as a known source of variable values.
test_expect(\*DATA, $config, callsign());
=head2 banner()
This subroutine prints a simple banner including any text passed as parameters.
The C<$DEBUG> variable must be set for it to generate any output.
banner('Testing something-or-other');
example output:
#------------------------------------------------------------
# Testing something-or-other (27 tests completed)
#------------------------------------------------------------
=head1 PACKAGE VARIABLES
=head2 $DEBUG
The $DEBUG package variable can be set to enable debugging mode.
=head2 $PRESERVE
The $PRESERVE package variable can be set to stop the test_expect()
from converting newlines in the output and expected output into
the literal strings '\n'.
=head1 HISTORY
This module started its butt-ugly life as the C<t/texpect.pl> script. It
was cleaned up to became the C<Template::Test> module some time around
version 0.29. It underwent further cosmetic surgery for version 2.00
but still retains some remarkable rear-end resemblances.
Since then the C<Test::More> and related modules have appeared on CPAN
making this module mostly, but not entirely, redundant.
=head1 BUGS / KNOWN "FEATURES"
Imports all methods by default. This is generally a Bad Thing, but
this module is only used in test scripts (i.e. at build time) so a) we
don't really care and b) it saves typing.
The line splitter may be a bit dumb, especially if it sees lines like
C<-- this --> that aren't supposed to be special markers. So don't do that.
