NAME

       Lire::Test::TestCase - Common base for Lire test cases.

SYNOPSIS

        use base qw/Lire::Test::TestCase/;

        sub set_up {
            my $self = shift->SUPER::set_up();

            $self->{'cfg'}{'lr_schemas_path'} = [ $self->{'tmpdir'} ];
        }

DESCRIPTION

       This package can be used to write test cases for Lire instead of inheriting directly from
       Test::Unit::TestCase.

       The default set_up method will create a Lire::Test::HashConfig object and set it up in the
       configuration framework. This makes it easy to set configuration variables to arbitrary
       values in the set_up() method.

       It also sets the LC_MESSAGES locale category to 'C'.

       If you override set_up() and tear_down() be sure to call the SUPER:: implementation.

       This subclass also defined a new kind of assertion which make sure that a snippet of code
       died with a proper error message.

   assert_died( $test, $regex, [ $msg ] )
       Execute $test and fail unless it dies with a message matching $regex.  $test should be a
       reference to CODE. $regex should be a Regexp ref.

   assert_dies( $regex, $test, [ $msg ] )
       Like assert_died() but with a signature closer to the one defined in Test::Unit::Assert.

   assert_isa( $class, $instance, [ $msg ] )
       Fails unless $instance is an instance of $class.

FIXTURE RELATED METHOD

   lire_default_config_spec()
       Returns a Lire::Config::ConfigSpec object initialized from the default Lire configuration
       specification.

   set_up_tz( $tz )
       When you tests uses timelocal() or localtime(), you should use that method to specify the
       TZ under which it should run.

       The TZ will be reset to its previous value during tear_down().

   set_up_plugin_mgr()
       This will make the global PluginManager an instance that will only live for the current
       test. The old PluginManager will be reinstated during tear_down(). This way, you do not
       need to track calls to register_plugin().
