NAME

       Log::Any::Test - Test what you're logging with Log::Any

VERSION

       version 1.705

SYNOPSIS

           use Test::More;
           use Log::Any::Test;    # should appear before 'use Log::Any'!
           use Log::Any qw($log);

           # ...
           # call something that logs using Log::Any
           # ...

           # now test to make sure you logged the right things

           $log->contains_ok(qr/good log message/, "good message was logged");
           $log->does_not_contain_ok(qr/unexpected log message/, "unexpected message was not logged");
           $log->empty_ok("no more logs");

           # or

           my $msgs = $log->msgs;
           cmp_deeply($msgs, [{message => 'msg1', level => 'debug'}, ...]);

DESCRIPTION

       "Log::Any::Test" is a simple module that allows you to test what has been logged with
       Log::Any. Most of its API and implementation have been taken from Log::Any::Dispatch.

       Using "Log::Any::Test" signals "Log::Any" to send all subsequent log messages to a single
       global in-memory buffer and to make the log proxy provide a number of testing functions.
       To use it, load "Log::Any::Test" before anything that loads "Log::Any".  To actually use
       the test methods, you need to load "Log::Any" and get a log object from it, as shown in
       the "SYNOPSIS".

METHODS

       The test_name is optional in the *_ok methods; a reasonable default will be provided.

       msgs ()
           Returns the current contents of the global log buffer as an array reference, where
           each element is a hash containing a category, level, and message key.  e.g.

             {
               category => 'Foo',
               level => 'error',
               message => 'this is an error'
             },
             {
               category => 'Bar::Baz',
               level => 'debug',
               message => 'this is a debug'
             }

       contains_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
           Tests that a message in the log buffer matches $regex. On success, the message is
           removed from the log buffer (but any other matches are left untouched).

       does_not_contain_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
           Tests that no message in the log buffer matches $regex.

       category_contains_ok ($category, $regex[, $test_name])
           Tests that a message in the log buffer from a specific category matches $regex. On
           success, the message is removed from the log buffer (but any other matches are left
           untouched).

       category_does_not_contain_ok ($category, $regex[, $test_name])
           Tests that no message from a specific category in the log buffer matches $regex.

       empty_ok ([$test_name])
           Tests that there is no log buffer left. On failure, the log buffer is cleared to limit
           further cascading failures.

       contains_only_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
           Tests that there is a single message in the log buffer and it matches $regex. On
           success, the message is removed.

       clear ()
           Clears the log buffer.
