NAME

       Test::Roo - Composable, reusable tests with roles and Moo

VERSION

       version 1.002

SYNOPSIS

       Define test behaviors and required fixtures in a role:

           # t/lib/ObjectCreation.pm

           package ObjectCreation;
           use Test::Roo::Role;    # loads Moo::Role and Test::More

           requires 'class';       # we need this fixture

           test 'object creation' => sub {
               my $self = shift;
               require_ok( $self->class );
               my $obj  = new_ok( $self->class );
           };

           1;

       Provide fixtures and run tests from the .t file:

           # t/test.t

           use Test::Roo; # loads Moo and Test::More
           use lib 't/lib';

           # provide the fixture
           has class => (
               is      => 'ro',
               default => sub { "Digest::MD5" },
           );

           # specify behaviors to test
           with 'ObjectCreation';

           # give our subtests a pretty label
           sub _build_description { "Testing " . shift->class }

           # run the test with default fixture
           run_me;

           # run the test with different fixture
           run_me( { class => "Digest::SHA1" } );

           done_testing;

       Result:

           $ prove -lv t
           t/test.t ..
                   ok 1 - require Digest::MD5;
                   ok 2 - The object isa Digest::MD5
                   1..2
               ok 1 - object creation
               1..1
           ok 1 - Testing Digest::MD5
                   ok 1 - require Digest::SHA1;
                   ok 2 - The object isa Digest::SHA1
                   1..2
               ok 1 - object creation
               1..1
           ok 2 - Testing Digest::SHA1
           1..2
           ok
           All tests successful.

DESCRIPTION

       This module allows you to compose Test::More tests from roles.  It is inspired by the
       excellent Test::Routine module, but uses Moo instead of Moose.  This gives most of the
       benefits without the need for Moose as a test dependency.

       Test files are Moo classes.  You can define any needed test fixtures as Moo attributes.
       You define tests as method modifiers -- similar in concept to "subtest" in Test::More, but
       your test method will be passed the test object for access to fixture attributes.  You may
       compose any Moo::Role into your test to define attributes, require particular methods, or
       define tests.

       This means that you can isolate test behaviors into roles which require certain test
       fixtures in order to run.  Your main test file will provide the fixtures and compose the
       roles to run.  This makes it easy to reuse test behaviors.

       For example, if you are creating tests for Awesome::Module, you could create the test
       behaviors as Awesome::Module::Test::Role and distribute it with your module.  If another
       distribution subclasses Awesome::Module, it can compose the Awesome::Module::Test::Role
       behavior for its own tests.

       No more copying and pasting tests from a super class!  Superclasses define and share their
       tests.  Subclasses provide their own fixtures and run the tests.

USAGE

       Importing Test::Roo also loads Moo (which gives you strictures with fatal warnings and
       other goodies) and makes the current package a subclass of Test::Roo::Class.

       Importing also loads Test::More.  No test plan is used.  The "done_testing" function must
       be used at the end of every test file.  Any import arguments are passed through to
       Test::More's "import" method.

       See also Test::Roo::Role for test role usage.

   Creating fixtures
       You can create fixtures with normal Moo syntax.  You can even make them lazy if you want:

           has fixture => (
               is => 'lazy'
           );

           sub _build_fixture { ... }

       This becomes really useful with Test::Roo::Role.  A role could define the attribute and
       require the builder method to be provided by the main test class.

   Composing test roles
       You can use roles to define units of test behavior and then compose them into your test
       class using the "with" function.  Test roles may define attributes, declare tests, require
       certain methods and anything else you can regularly do with roles.

           use Test::Roo;

           with 'MyTestRole1', 'MyTestRole2';

       See Test::Roo::Role and the Test::Roo::Cookbook for details and examples.

   Setup and teardown
       You can add method modifiers around the "setup" and "teardown" methods and these will be
       run before tests begin and after tests finish (respectively).

           before  setup     => sub { ... };

           after   teardown  => sub { ... };

       You can also add method modifiers around "each_test", which will be run before and after
       every individual test.  You could use these to prepare or reset a fixture.

           has fixture => ( is => 'lazy, clearer => 1, predicate => 1 );

           after  each_test => sub { shift->clear_fixture };

       Roles may also modify "setup", "teardown", and "each_test", so the order that modifiers
       will be called will depend on when roles are composed.  Be careful with "each_test",
       though, because the global effect may make composition more fragile.

       You can call test functions in modifiers. For example, you could confirm that something
       has been set up or cleaned up.

           before each_test => sub { ok( ! shift->has_fixture ) };

   Running tests
       The simplest way to use Test::Roo with a single .t file is to let the "main" package be
       the test class and call "run_me" in it:

           # t/test.t
           use Test::Roo; # loads Moo and Test::More

           has class => (
               is      => 'ro',
               default => sub { "Digest::MD5" },
           );

           test 'load class' => sub {
               my $self = shift;
               require_ok( $self->class );
           }

           run_me;
           done_testing;

       Calling "run_me(@args)" is equivalent to calling "__PACKAGE__->run_tests(@args)" and runs
       tests for the current package.

       You may specify an optional description or hash reference of constructor arguments to
       customize the test object:

           run_me( "load MD5" );
           run_me( { class => "Digest::MD5" } );
           run_me( "load MD5", { class => "Digest::MD5" } );

       See Test::Roo::Class for more about the "run_tests" method.

       Alternatively, you can create a separate package (in the test file or in a separate .pm
       file) and run tests explicitly on that class.

           # t/test.t
           package MyTest;
           use Test::Roo;

           use lib 't/lib';

           has class => (
               is       => 'ro',
               required => 1,
           );

           with 'MyTestRole';

           package main;
           use strictures;
           use Test::More;

           for my $c ( qw/Digest::MD5 Digest::SHA/ ) {
               MyTest->run_tests("Testing $c", { class => $c } );
           }

           done_testing;

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

       Loading Test::Roo exports subroutines into the calling package to declare and run tests.

   test
           test $label => sub { ... };

       The "test" function adds a subtest.  The code reference will be called with the test
       object as its only argument.

       Tests are run in the order declared, so the order of tests from roles will depend on when
       they are composed relative to other test declarations.

   run_me
           run_me;
           run_me( $description );
           run_me( $init_args   );
           run_me( $description, $init_args );

       The "run_me" function calls the "run_tests" method on the current package and passes all
       arguments to that method.  It takes a description and/or a hash reference of constructor
       arguments.

DIFFERENCES FROM TEST::ROUTINE

       While this module was inspired by Test::Routine, it is not a drop-in replacement.  Here is
       an overview of major differences:

       •   Test::Roo uses Moo; Test::Routine uses Moose

       •   Loading Test::Roo makes the importing package a class; in Test::Routine it becomes a
           role

       •   Loading Test::Roo loads Test::More; Test::Routine does not

       •   In Test::Roo, "run_test" is a method; in Test::Routine it is a function and takes
           arguments in a different order

       •   In Test::Roo, all role composition must be explicit using "with"; in Test::Routine,
           the "run_tests" command can also compose roles

       •   In Test::Roo, test blocks become method modifiers hooked on an empty method; in
           Test::Routine, they become methods run via introspection

       •   In Test::Roo, setup and teardown are done by modifying "setup" and "teardown" methods;
           in Test::Routine they are done by modifying "run_test"
