NAME
Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy - Convert facet data to the legacy event API.
DESCRIPTION
This module exports several subroutines from the older event API (see
Test2::Event). These subroutines can be used as methods on any object
that provides a custom facet_data() method. These subroutines can also
be used as functions that take a facet data hashref as arguments.
SYNOPSIS
AS METHODS
package My::Event;
use Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy ':ALL';
sub facet_data { return { ... } }
Then to use it:
my $e = My::Event->new(...);
my $causes_fail = $e->causes_fail;
my $summary = $e->summary;
....
AS FUNCTIONS
use Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy ':ALL';
my $f = {
assert => { ... },
info => [{...}, ...],
control => {...},
...
};
my $causes_fail = causes_fail($f);
my $summary = summary($f);
NOTE ON CYCLES
When used as methods, all these subroutines call "$e->facet_data()". The
default facet_data() method in Test2::Event relies on the legacy methods
this module emulates in order to work. As a result of this it is very
easy to create infinite recursion bugs.
These methods have cycle detection and will throw an exception early if
a cycle is detected. uuid() is currently the only subroutine in this
library that has a fallback behavior when cycles are detected.
EXPORTS
Nothing is exported by default. You must specify which methods to
import, or use the ':ALL' tag.
$bool = $e->causes_fail()
$bool = causes_fail($f)
Check if the event or facets result in a failing state.
$bool = $e->diagnostics()
$bool = diagnostics($f)
Check if the event or facets contain any diagnostics information.
$bool = $e->global()
$bool = global($f)
Check if the event or facets need to be globally processed.
$bool = $e->increments_count()
$bool = increments_count($f)
Check if the event or facets make an assertion.
$bool = $e->no_display()
$bool = no_display($f)
Check if the event or facets should be rendered or hidden.
($max, $directive, $reason) = $e->sets_plan()
($max, $directive, $reason) = sets_plan($f)
Check if the event or facets set a plan, and return the plan
details.
$id = $e->subtest_id()
$id = subtest_id($f)
Get the subtest id, if any.
$string = $e->summary()
$string = summary($f)
Get the summary of the event or facets hash, if any.
$undef_or_int = $e->terminate()
$undef_or_int = terminate($f)
Check if the event or facets should result in process termination,
if so the exit code is returned (which could be 0). undef is
returned if no termination is requested.
$uuid = $e->uuid()
$uuid = uuid($f)
Get the UUID of the facets or event.
Note: This will fall back to "$e->SUPER::uuid()" if a cycle is
detected and an event is used as the argument.
