Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolStarts - How to add behaviors that occur
when a tool starts work.
This tutorial will help you write plugins that have behavior when a tool starts.
All tools should start by acquiring a context object. This tutorial shows you
the hooks you can use to take advantage of the context acquisition.
package Test2::Plugin::MyPlugin;
use Test2::API qw{
test2_add_callback_context_init
test2_add_callback_context_acquire
};
sub import {
my $class = shift;
# Let us know every time a tool requests a context, and give us a
# chance to modify the parameters before we find it.
test2_add_callback_context_acquire(sub {
my $params_ref = shift;
print "A tool has requested the context\n";
});
# Callback every time a new context is created, not called if an
# existing context is found.
test2_add_callback_context_init(sub {
my $ctx_ref = shift;
print "A new context was created\n";
});
}
1;
- use Test2::API qw{test2_add_callback_context_init
test2_add_callback_context_acquire};
- This imports the
"test2_add_callback_context_init()" and
"test2_add_callback_context_acquire()"
callbacks.
- test2_add_callback_context_acquire(sub { ... })
- This is where we add our callback for context acquisition. Every time
"Test2::API::context()" is called the
callback will be run.
- my $params_ref = shift
- In the test2_add_callback_context_acquire() callbacks we get
exactly 1 argument, a reference to the parameters that
"context()" will use to find the
context.
- print "A tool has requested the context\n"
- Print a notification whenever a tool asks for a context.
- test2_add_callback_context_init(sub { ... })
- Add our context init callback. These callbacks are triggered whenever a
completely new context is created. This is not called if an existing
context is found. In short this only fires off for the top level tool, not
nested tools.
- my $ctx_ref = shift
- The coderefs for test2_add_callback_context_init() will receive
exactly 1 argument, the newly created context.
- print "A new context was created\n"
- Print a notification whenever a new context is created.
