NAME

       Bio::Chado::Schema::Test - Library to be used by Bio::Chado::Schema test scripts.

SYNOPSIS

         use lib qw(t/lib);
         use Bio::Chado::Schema::Test;
         use Test::More;

         my $schema = Bio::Chado::Schema::Test->init_schema();

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides the basic utilities to write tests against Bio::Chado::Schema.

METHODS

   init_schema
         my $schema = Bio::Chado::Schema::Test->init_schema(
           deploy            => 1,
           populate          => 1,
           storage_type      => '::DBI::Replicated',
           storage_type_args => {
             balancer_type=>'DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Replicated::Balancer::Random'
           },
         );

       This method removes the test SQLite database in t/var/BCS.db and then creates a new, empty
       database.

       This method will call deploy_schema() by default, unless the deploy flag is set to 0.

       This method will call populate_schema() if the populate argument is set to a true value.

   has_custom_dsn
       Returns true if the BCS_TEST_DSN environment variable is set.

   deploy_schema
         Bio::Chado::Schema::Test->deploy_schema( $schema );

       This method does one of two things to the schema.  It can either call the experimental
       $schema->deploy() if the BCSTEST_SQLT_DEPLOY environment variable is set, otherwise the
       default is to read in the t/lib/sqlite.sql file and execute the SQL within. Either way you
       end up with a fresh set of tables for testing.

   populate_schema
         Bio::Chado::Schema::Test->populate_schema( $schema );

       After you deploy your schema you can use this method to populate the tables with test
       data.
