NAME
Test::Moose::More - More tools for testing Moose packages
VERSION
This document describes version 0.050 of Test::Moose::More - released September 20, 2017 as part of Test-
Moose-More.
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Moose::More;
is_class_ok 'Some::Class';
is_role_ok 'Some::Role';
has_method_ok 'Some::Class', 'foo';
# ... etc
DESCRIPTION
This package contains a number of additional tests that can be employed against Moose classes/roles. It
is intended to replace Test::Moose in your tests, and re-exports any tests that it has and we do not,
yet.
Export Groups
By default, this package exports all test functions. You can be more selective, however, and there are a
number of export groups (aside from the default ":all") to help you achieve those dreams!
:all
All exportable functions.
:validate
"validate_attribute", "validate_class", "validate_role", "validate_thing"
TEST FUNCTIONS
meta_ok $thing
Tests $thing to see if it has a metaclass; $thing may be the class name or instance of the class you wish
to check. Passes if $thing has a metaclass.
no_meta_ok $thing
Tests $thing to see if it does not have a metaclass; $thing may be the class name or instance of the
class you wish to check. Passes if $thing does not have a metaclass.
does_ok $thing, < $role | \@roles >, [ $message ]
Checks to see if $thing does the given roles. $thing may be the class name or instance of the class you
wish to check.
Note that the message will be taken verbatim unless it contains %s somewhere; this will be replaced with
the name of the role being tested for.
does_not_ok $thing, < $role | \@roles >, [ $message ]
Checks to see if $thing does not do the given roles. $thing may be the class name or instance of the
class you wish to check.
Note that the message will be taken verbatim unless it contains %s somewhere; this will be replaced with
the name of the role being tested for.
has_attribute_ok $thing, $attribute_name, [ $message ]
Checks $thing for an attribute named $attribute_name; $thing may be a class name, instance, or role name.
has_method_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to see if $thing has the methods named in @methods.
Note: This does not include inherited methods; see "has_method" in Class::MOP::Class.
has_no_method_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to ensure $thing does not provide the methods named in @methods.
Note: This does not include inherited methods; see "has_method" in Class::MOP::Class.
has_method_from_anywhere_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to see if $thing has the methods named in @methods.
Note: This does include inherited methods; see "find_method_by_name" in Class::MOP::Class.
has_no_method_from_anywhere_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to ensure $thing does not provide the methods named in @methods.
Note: This does include inherited methods; see "find_method_by_name" in Class::MOP::Class.
method_from_pkg_ok $thing, $method, $orig_pkg
Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that it originally came from $orig_pkg.
method_not_from_pkg_ok $thing, $method, $orig_pkg
Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that it did not come from $orig_pkg.
method_is_accessor_ok $thing, $method
Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that the method is an accessor -- that is, it
descends from Class::MOP::Method::Accessor.
method_is_not_accessor_ok $thing, $method
Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that the method is not an accessor -- that is, it
does not descend from Class::MOP::Method::Accessor.
definition_context_ok $meta, \%dc
Validates the definition context of a metaclass instance. This is a strict comparison.
role_wraps_around_method_ok $role, @methods
Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an around method
modifier.
role_wraps_before_method_ok $role, @methods
Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an before method
modifier.
role_wraps_after_method_ok $role, @methods
Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an after method
modifier.
requires_method_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to see if $thing requires the methods named in @methods.
Note that this really only makes sense if $thing is a role.
does_not_require_method_ok $thing, @methods
Queries $thing's metaclass to ensure $thing does not require the methods named in @methods.
Note that this really only makes sense if $thing is a role.
is_immutable_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is immutable.
is_not_immutable_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is not immutable; that is, is mutable.
is_pristine_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is pristine. See "is_pristine" in Class::MOP::Class.
is_not_pristine_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is not pristine. See "is_pristine" in Class::MOP::Class.
is_role_ok $thing
Passes if "$thing's" metaclass is a Moose::Meta::Role.
is_class_ok $thing
Passes if "$thing's" metaclass is a Moose::Meta::Class.
is_anon_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is "anonymous".
is_not_anon_ok $thing
Passes if $thing is not "anonymous".
check_sugar_removed_ok $thing
Ensures that all the standard Moose sugar is no longer directly callable on a given package.
check_sugar_ok $thing
Checks and makes sure a class/etc can still do all the standard Moose sugar.
does_metaroles_ok $thing => { $mop => [ @traits ], ... };
Validate the metaclasses associated with a class/role metaclass.
e.g., if I wanted to validate that the attribute trait for MooseX::AttributeShortcuts is actually
applied, I could do this:
{ package TestClass; use Moose; use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts; }
use Test::Moose::More;
use Test::More;
does_metaroles_ok TestClass => {
attribute => ['MooseX::AttributeShortcuts::Trait::Attribute'],
};
done_testing;
This function will accept either class or role metaclasses for $thing.
The MOPs available for classes (Moose::Meta::Class) are:
class
attribute
method
wrapped_method
instance
constructor
destructor
The MOPs available for roles (Moose::Meta::Role) are:
role
attribute
method
required_method
wrapped_method
conflicting_method
application_to_class
application_to_role
application_to_instance
applied_attribute
Note! Neither this function nor "does_not_metaroles_ok()" attempts to validate that the MOP type passed
in is a member of the above lists. There's no gain here in implementing such a check, and a negative to
be had: specifying an invalid MOP type will result in immediate explosions, while it's entirely possible
other MOP types will be added (either to core, via traits, or "let's subclass Moose::Meta::Class/etc and
implement something new").
does_not_metaroles_ok $thing => { $mop => [ @traits ], ... };
As with "does_metaroles_ok", but test that the metaroles are not consumed, a la "does_not_ok".
attribute_options_ok
Validates that an attribute is set up as expected; like "validate_attribute()", but only concerns itself
with attribute options.
Note that some of these options will skip if used against attributes defined in a role.
• "-subtest => 'subtest name...'"
If set, all tests run (save the first, "does this thing even have this attribute?" test) will be
wrapped in a subtest, the name of which will be whatever "-subtest" is set to.
• "is => ro|rw"
Tests for reader/writer options set as one would expect.
• "isa => ..."
Validates that the attribute requires its value to be a given type.
• "does => ..."
Validates that the attribute requires its value to do a given role.
• "builder => '...'"
Validates that the attribute expects the method name given to be its builder.
• "default => ..."
Validates that the attribute has the given default.
• "init_arg => '...'"
Validates that the attribute has the given initial argument name.
• "lazy => 0|1"
Validates that the attribute is/isn't lazy.
• "required => 0|1"
Validates that setting the attribute's value is/isn't required.
VALIDATION METHODS
validate_thing
Runs a bunch of tests against the given $thing, as defined:
validate_thing $thing => (
attributes => [ ... ],
methods => [ ... ],
isa => [ ... ],
# ensures sugar is/is-not present
sugar => 0,
# ensures $thing does these roles
does => [ ... ],
# ensures $thing does not do these roles
does_not => [ ... ],
);
$thing can be the name of a role or class, an object instance, or a metaclass.
• "-subtest => 'subtest name...'"
If set, all tests run will be wrapped in a subtest, the name of which will be whatever "-subtest" is
set to.
• "isa => [ ... ]"
A list of superclasses thing should have.
• "anonymous => 0|1"
Check to see if the class is/isn't anonymous.
• "does => [ ... ]"
A list of roles the thing should do.
• "does_not => [ ... ]"
A list of roles the thing should not do.
• "attributes => [ ... ]"
The attributes list specified here is in the form of a list of names, each optionally followed by a
hashref of options to test the attribute for; this hashref takes the same arguments
"validate_attribute" does. e.g.:
validate_thing $thing => (
attributes => [
'foo',
'bar',
baz => { is => 'ro', ... },
'bip',
],
);
• "methods => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the thing should have; see "has_method_ok".
• "no_methods => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the thing should not have; see "has_no_method_ok".
• "sugar => 0|1"
Ensure that thing can/cannot do the standard Moose sugar.
• "metaclasses => { $mop => { ... }, ... }"
Validates this thing's metaclasses: that is, given a MOP type (e.g. class, attribute, method, ...)
and a hashref, find the associated metaclass of the given type and invoke "validate_thing" on it,
using the hashref as options for "validate_thing()".
e.g.
validate_thing 'TestClass' => (
metaclasses => {
attribute => {
isa => [ 'Moose::Meta::Attribute' ],
does => [ 'MetaRole::attribute' ],
},
},
);
...yields:
# Subtest: Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
ok 1 - TestClass's attribute metaclass has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestClass's attribute metaclass is a Moose class
ok 3 - TestClass's attribute metaclass isa Moose::Meta::Attribute
ok 4 - TestClass's attribute metaclass does MetaRole::attribute
1..4
ok 1 - Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
Note that "validate_class()" and "validate_role()" implement this using "class_metaclasses" and
"role_metaclasses", respectively.
validate_role
The same as "validate_thing()", but ensures $thing is a role, and allows for additional role-specific
tests.
validate_role $thing => (
required_methods => [ ... ],
# ...and all other options from validate_thing()
);
• "-compose => 0|1"
When true, attempt to compose the role into an anonymous class, then use it to run "validate_class".
The options we're given are passed to "validate_class()" directly, except that any "required_methods"
entry is removed and its contents pushed onto "methods". (A stub method for each entry in
"required_methods" will also be created in the new class.)
e.g.:
ok 1 - TestRole has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestRole is a Moose role
ok 3 - TestRole requires method blargh
ok 4 - TestRole does TestRole
ok 5 - TestRole does not do TestRole::Two
ok 6 - TestRole has method method1
ok 7 - TestRole has an attribute named bar
# Subtest: role composed into Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
ok 1 - TestRole's composed class has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestRole's composed class is a Moose class
ok 3 - TestRole's composed class does TestRole
ok 4 - TestRole's composed class does not do TestRole::Two
ok 5 - TestRole's composed class has method method1
ok 6 - TestRole's composed class has method blargh
ok 7 - TestRole's composed class has an attribute named bar
1..7
ok 8 - role composed into Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
1..8
• "-subtest => 'subtest name...'"
If set, all tests run will be wrapped in a subtest, the name of which will be whatever "-subtest" is
set to.
• "required_methods => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the role requires a consuming class to supply.
• "before => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the role expects to wrap before, on application to a class.
See "before" in Moose for information on before method modifiers.
• "around => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the role expects to wrap around, on application to a class.
See "around" in Moose for information on around method modifiers.
• "after => [ ... ]"
A list of methods the role expects to wrap after, on application to a class.
See "after" in Moose for information on after method modifiers.
• "role_metaroles => { $mop => [ $role, ... ], ... }"
Checks metaclasses to ensure the given metaroles are applied. See "does_metaroles_ok".
• "no_role_metaroles => { $mop => [ $role, ... ], ... }"
Checks metaclasses to ensure the given metaroles are applied. See "does_not_metaroles_ok".
• "role_metaclasses => { $mop => { ... }, ... }"
Validates this role's metaclasses: that is, given a MOP type (e.g. role, attribute, method, ...) and
a hashref, find the associated metaclass of the given type and invoke "validate_thing" on it, using
the hashref as options for "validate_thing()".
e.g.
validate_role 'TestRole' => (
metaclasses => {
attribute => {
isa => [ 'Moose::Meta::Attribute' ],
does => [ 'MetaRole::attribute' ],
},
},
);
...yields:
# Subtest: Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
ok 1 - TestRole's attribute metaclass has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestRole's attribute metaclass is a Moose class
ok 3 - TestRole's attribute metaclass isa Moose::Meta::Attribute
ok 4 - TestRole's attribute metaclass does MetaRole::attribute
1..4
ok 1 - Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
Note that "validate_class()" and "validate_role()" implement this using "class_metaclasses" and
"role_metaclasses", respectively.
• "class_metaclasses => { $mop => { ... }, ... }"
As with role_metaclasses, above, except that this option is only used if "-compose" is also
specified.
validate_class
The same as "validate_thing()", but ensures $thing is a class, and allows for additional class-specific
tests.
validate_class $thing => (
isa => [ ... ],
attributes => [ ... ],
methods => [ ... ],
# ensures sugar is/is-not present
sugar => 0,
# ensures $thing does these roles
does => [ ... ],
# ensures $thing does not do these roles
does_not => [ ... ],
# ...and all other options from validate_thing()
);
• "-subtest => 'subtest name...'"
If set, all tests run will be wrapped in a subtest, the name of which will be whatever "-subtest" is
set to.
• "immutable => 0|1"
Checks the class to see if it is/isn't immutable.
• "class_metaroles => { $mop => [ $role, ... ], ... }"
Checks metaclasses to ensure the given metaroles are applied. See "does_metaroles_ok".
• "no_class_metaroles => { $mop => [ $role, ... ], ... }"
Checks metaclasses to ensure the given metaroles are applied. See "does_not_metaroles_ok".
• "class_metaclasses => { $mop => { ... }, ... }"
Validates this class' metaclasses: that is, given a MOP type (e.g. role, attribute, method, ...) and
a hashref, find the associated metaclass of the given type and invoke "validate_thing" on it, using
the hashref as options for "validate_thing()".
e.g.
validate_class 'TestClass' => (
metaclasses => {
attribute => {
isa => [ 'Moose::Meta::Attribute' ],
does => [ 'MetaRole::attribute' ],
},
},
);
...yields:
ok 1 - TestClass has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestClass is a Moose class
# Subtest: Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
ok 1 - TestClass's attribute metaclass has a metaclass
ok 2 - TestClass's attribute metaclass is a Moose class
ok 3 - TestClass's attribute metaclass isa Moose::Meta::Attribute
ok 4 - TestClass's attribute metaclass does MetaRole::attribute
1..4
ok 3 - Checking the attribute metaclass, Moose::Meta::Class::__ANON__::SERIAL::1
validate_attribute
"validate_attribute()" allows you to test how an attribute looks once built and attached to a class.
Let's say you have an attribute defined like this:
has foo => (
traits => [ 'TestRole' ],
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Int',
builder => '_build_foo',
lazy => 1,
);
You can use "validate_attribute()" to ensure that it's built out in the way you expect:
validate_attribute TestClass => foo => (
# tests the attribute metaclass instance to ensure it does the roles
-does => [ 'TestRole' ],
# tests the attribute metaclass instance's inheritance
-isa => [ 'Moose::Meta::Attribute' ], # for demonstration's sake
traits => [ 'TestRole' ],
isa => 'Int',
does => 'Bar',
handles => { },
reader => 'foo',
builder => '_build_foo',
default => undef,
init_arg => 'foo',
lazy => 1,
required => undef,
);
Options passed to "validate_attribute()" prefixed with "-" test the attribute's metaclass instance rather
than a setting on the attribute; that is, "-does" ensures that the metaclass does a particular role (e.g.
MooseX::AttributeShortcuts), while "does" tests the setting of the attribute to require the value do a
given role.
This function takes all the options "attribute_options_ok" takes, as well as the following:
• "-subtest => 'subtest name...'"
If set, all tests run will be wrapped in a subtest, the name of which will be whatever "-subtest" is
set to.
