NAME

       Jifty::Test - Jifty's test module

SYNOPSIS

	   use Jifty::Test tests => 5;
	   # to load po for test:
	   # use Jifty::Test tests => 5, l10n => 1;

	   # ...all of Test::More's functionality...
	   my $model = MyApp::Model::MyModel->new;
	   $model->create();
	   ok($model->id, 'model works');
	   is($model->foo, 'some default', 'default works');

	   # Startup an external server (see Jifty::TestServer)
	   my $server = Jifty::Test->make_server;
	   my $server_url = $server->started_ok;
	   # You're probably also interested in Jifty::Test::WWW::Mechanize

DESCRIPTION

       Jifty::Test is a superset of Test::More.  It provides all of Test::More's functionality in addition to the class methods defined below.

METHODS

   is_passing
	   my $is_passing = Jifty::Test->is_passing;

       Check if the test is currently in a passing state.

       o   All tests run so far have passed

       o   We have run at least one test

       o   We have not run more than we planned (if we planned at all)

   is_done
	   my $is_done = Jifty::Test->is_done;

       Check if we have run all the tests we've planned.

       If the plan is 'no_plan' then is_done() will return true if at least one test has run.

   setup ARGS
       This method is passed a single argument. This is a reference to the array of parameters passed in to the import statement.

       Merges the "test_config" into the default configuration, resets the database, and resets the fake "outgoing mail" folder.

       This is the method to override if you wish to do custom setup work, such as insert test data into your database.

	 package MyApp::Test;
	 use base qw/ Jifty::Test /;

	 sub setup {
	     my $self = shift;
	     my $args = shift;

	     # Make sure to call the super-class version
	     $self->SUPER::setup($args);

	     # Now that we have the database and such...
	     my %test_args = @$args;

	     if ($test_arg{something_special}) {
		 # do something special...
	     }
	 }

       And later in your tests, you may do the following:

	 use MyApp::Test tests => 14, something_special => 1;

	 # 14 tests with some special setup...

   setup_test_database
       Create the test database. This can be overloaded if you do your databases in a different way.

   load_test_configs FILENAME
       This will load all the test config files that apply to FILENAME (default: $0, the current test script file). Say you are running the test
       script "/home/bob/MyApp/t/user/12-delete.t". The files that will be loaded are:

       "/home/bob/MyApp/t/user/12-delete.t-config.yml"
       "/home/bob/MyApp/t/user/test_config.yml"
       "/home/bob/MyApp/t/test_config.yml"

       ..followed by the usual Jifty configuration files (such as "MyApp/etc/config.yml" and "MyApp/etc/site_config.yml"). The options in a more
       specific test file override the options in a less specific test file.

       The options are returned in a single hashref.

   test_config
       Returns a hash which overrides parts of the application's configuration for testing.  By default, this changes the database name by
       appending a 'test', as well as setting the port to a random port between 10000 and 15000. Individual test configurations may override these
       defaults (see "load_test_configs").

       It is passed the current configuration before any test config is loaded.

       You can override this to provide application-specific test configuration, e.g:

	   sub test_config {
	       my $class = shift;
	       my ($config) = @_;
	       my $hash = $class->SUPER::test_config($config);
	       $hash->{framework}{LogConfig} = "etc/log-test.conf"

	       return $hash;
	   }

       Note that this is deprecated in favor of having real config files in your test directory.

   make_server
       Creates a new Jifty::TestServer depending on the value of $ENV{JIFTY_TEST_SERVER}.  If the environment variable is "Inline", we run tests
       using PSGI inline without spawning an actual server.  Otherwise, we fork off a Plack::Server to run tests against.

   web
       Like calling "<Jifty-"web>>.

       "<Jifty::Test-"web>> does the necessary Jifty->web initialization for it to be usable in a test.

   mailbox
       A mailbox used for testing mail sending.

   setup_mailbox
       Clears the mailbox.

   teardown_mailbox
       Deletes the mailbox.

   is_available
       Informs Email::Send that Jifty::Test is always available as a mailer.

   send
       Should not be called manually, but is automatically called by Email::Send when using Jifty::Test as a mailer.

       (Note that it is a class method.)

   messages
       Returns the messages in the test mailbox, as a list of Email::Simple objects.  You may have to use a module like Email::MIME to parse
       multi-part messages stored in the mailbox.

   test_file
	 my $files = Jifty::Test->test_file($file);

       Register $file as having been created by the test.  It will be cleaned up at the end of the test run if and only if the test passes.
       Otherwise it will be left alone.

       It returns $file so you can do this:

	 my $file = Jifty::Test->test_file( Jifty::Util->absolute_path("t/foo") );

   test_in_isolation
	 my $return = Jifty::Test->test_in_isolation( sub {
	     ...your testing code...
	 });

       For testing testing modules so you can run testing code (which perhaps fail) without effecting the outer test.

       Saves the state of Jifty::Test's Test::Builder object and redirects all output to dev null before running your testing code.  It then
       restores the Test::Builder object back to its original state.

	   # Test that fail() returns 0
	   ok !Jifty::Test->test_in_isolation sub {
	       return fail;
	   };
