DBICx::TestDatabase::Subclass - a DBICx::TestDatabase you can add your own
methods to
Your test database subclass:
package MyApp::TestDatabase
use base qw(DBICx::TestDatabase::Subclass MyApp::Schema);
sub foo {
my $self = shift;
return $self->resultset('Foo')->create({ foo => 'bar' });
}
Later:
use MyApp::TestDatabase;
my $schema = MyApp::TestDatabase->connect;
my $foo_row = $schema->foo; # MyApp::TestDatabase::foo
my $bars = $schema->resultset('Bar'); # MyApp::Schema::resultset
Sometimes DBICx::TestDatabase doesn't give you enough control over the object
returned. This module lets you create a custom test database class.
This method creates the temporary database and returns the connection. If your
subclass needs to change the way connect works, do something like this:
sub connect {
my ($class) = @_;
say 'This happens before we create the test database.';
my $schema = $class->next::method;
say '$schema is the temporary test database';
return $schema;
}
If you want a simple test database based on a DBIC schema, just use
DBICx::TestDatabase.
