Test::Moose::More(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Moose::More(3)

Test::Moose::More - More tools for testing Moose packages

This document describes version 0.050 of Test::Moose::More - released September 20, 2017 as part of Test-Moose-More.

    use Test::Moose::More;

    is_class_ok 'Some::Class';
    is_role_ok  'Some::Role';
    has_method_ok 'Some::Class', 'foo';

    # ... etc

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.

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Checks $thing for an attribute named $attribute_name; $thing may be a class name, instance, or role name.

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.

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.

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.

Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that it originally came from $orig_pkg.

Given a thing (role, class, etc) and a method, test that it did not come from $orig_pkg.

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.

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.

Validates the definition context of a metaclass instance. This is a strict comparison.

Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an around method modifier.

Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an before method modifier.

Queries $role's metaclass to see if $role wraps the methods named in @methods with an after method modifier.

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.

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.

Passes if $thing is immutable.

Passes if $thing is not immutable; that is, is mutable.

Passes if $thing is pristine. See "is_pristine" in Class::MOP::Class.

Passes if $thing is not pristine. See "is_pristine" in Class::MOP::Class.

Passes if "$thing's" metaclass is a Moose::Meta::Role.

Passes if "$thing's" metaclass is a Moose::Meta::Class.

Passes if $thing is "anonymous".

Passes if $thing is not "anonymous".

Ensures that all the standard Moose sugar is no longer directly callable on a given package.

Checks and makes sure a class/etc can still do all the standard Moose sugar.

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").

As with "does_metaroles_ok", but test that the metaroles are not consumed, a la "does_not_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.

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.

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:

    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.

The same as "validate_thing()", but ensures $thing is a class, and allows for additional class-specific tests.

    validate_class $thing => (

        isa  => [ ... ],

        attributes => [ ... ],

        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()" 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.
