NAME

       Rex::Test::Base - Basic Test Module

DESCRIPTION

       This is a basic test module to test your code with the help of local VMs. You can place
       your tests in the "t" directory.

EXAMPLE

        use Rex::Test::Base;
        use Data::Dumper;
        use Rex -base;

        test {
          my $t = shift;

          $t->name("ubuntu test");

          $t->base_vm("http://box.rexify.org/box/ubuntu-server-12.10-amd64.ova");
          $t->vm_auth(user => "root", password => "box");

          $t->run_task("setup");

          $t->has_package("vim");
          $t->has_package("ntp");
          $t->has_package("unzip");

          $t->has_file("/etc/ntp.conf");

          $t->has_service_running("ntp");

          $t->has_content("/etc/passwd", qr{root:x:0:}ms);

          run "ls -l";
          $t->ok($? == 0, "ls -l returns success.");

          $t->finish;
        };

        1; # last line

METHODS

   new(name => $test_name)
       Constructor if used in OO mode.

        my $test = Rex::Test::Base->new(name => "test_name");

   name($name)
       The name of the test. A VM called $name will be created for each test. If the VM already
       exists, Rex will try to reuse it.

   vm_auth(%auth)
       Authentication options for the VM. It accepts the same parameters as
       "Rex::Box::Base->auth()".

   base_vm($vm)
       The URL to a base image to be used for the test VM.

   redirect_port($port)
       Redirect local $port to the VM's SSH port (default: 2222).

   run_task($task)
       The task to run on the test VM. You can run multiple tasks by passing an array reference.

   has_content($file, $regexp)
       Test if the content of $file matches against $regexp.

   has_dir($path)
       Test if $path is present and is a directory.

   has_file($file)
       Test if $file is present.

   has_package($package, $version)
       Test if $package is installed, optionally at $version.

   has_service_running($service)
       Test if $service is running.

   has_service_stopped($service)
