NAMETest::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef - A delayed evaluation assertion using a CoderefSYNOPSISrequire Test::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef; my $assert_eq = Test::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef->new(sub { $_[0] eq $_[1] or Test::Unit::Failure->throw(-text => "Expected '$_[0]', got '$_[1]'\n"); }); $assert_eq->do_assertion('foo', 'bar'); Although this is how you'd use Test::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef directly, it is more usually used indirectly via Test::Unit::Test::assert, which instantiates a Test::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef when passed a Coderef as its first argument. IMPLEMENTSTest::Unit::Assertion::CodeRef implements the Test::Unit::Assertion interface, which means it can be plugged into the Test::Unit::TestCase and friends' "assert" method with no ill effects.DESCRIPTIONThis class is used by the framework to allow us to do assertions in a 'functional' manner. It is typically used generated automagically in code like:$self->assert(sub { $_[0] == $_[1] or $self->fail("Expected $_[0], got $_[1]"); }, 1, 2); (Note that if Damian Conway's Perl6 RFC for currying ever comes to pass then we'll be able to do this as: $self->assert(^1 == ^2 || $self->fail("Expected ^1, got ^2"), 1, 2) which will be nice...) If you have a working B::Deparse installed with your perl installation then, if an assertion fails, you'll see a listing of the decompiled coderef (which will be sadly devoid of comments, but should still be useful) AUTHORCopyright (c) 2001 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>.All rights reserved.
