NAME
Test2::Tools::Defer - Write tests that get executed at a later time
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes you need to test things BEFORE loading the necessary
functions. This module lets you do that. You can write tests, and then
have them run later, after "Test2" is loaded. You tell it what test
function to run, and what arguments to give it. The function name and
arguments will be stored to be executed later. When ready, run do_def()
to kick them off once the functions are defined.
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test2::Tools::Defer;
BEGIN {
def ok => (1, 'pass');
def is => ('foo', 'foo', 'runs is');
...
}
use Test2::Tools::Basic;
do_def(); # Run the tests
# Declare some more tests to run later:
def ok => (1, "another pass");
...
do_def(); # run the new tests
done_testing;
EXPORTS
def function => @args;
This will store the function name, and the arguments to be run
later. Note that each package has a separate store of tests to run.
do_def()
This will run all the stored tests. It will also reset the list to
be empty so you can add more tests to run even later.
