NAME
Test::XML::Twig - Test XML::Twig handlers SYNOPSIS
use Test::XML::Twig tests => 2; use My::Twig qw( handler ); test_twig_handler( &handler, '<foo/>', '<bar/>', 'turns foo to bar', ); test_twig_handlers( { twig_handlers => { 'foo' => &handler } }, '<foo/>', '<bar/>', 'turns foo into bar', ); DESCRIPTION
This module is for testing XML::Twig handlers. FUNCTIONS
All functions are exported. get_twig ( INPUT [, ARGS ] ) Return a parsed twig of INPUT, or undef on parse failure. Optionally, ARGS may be supplied as a set of hash-like parameters to be passed into the twig constructor. test_twig_handler ( HANDLER, INPUT, EXPECTED, TESTNAME [, COND ] ) Parse INPUT, using HANDLER as a twig_handler (i.e: it gets called after the parse tree has been built). Tests that the result is the same as EXPECTED (which can be either a string of XML or a quoted regex). HANDLER must be a code ref. Optionally, COND can be supplied. Instead of the handler being called with the root element of INPUT, COND will be used with first_child() to select an alternative element. Returns true / false depending upon test success. test_twig_handlers ( ARGS, INPUT, EXPECTED, TESTNAME ) This is similiar to test_twig_handler(), but with more flexibility. The first argument, ARGS, is a hash reference which can be used to specify any of the ordinary parameters to twig's constructor. This lets you test things like start_tag_handlers, as well as multiple twig_handlers together. SEE ALSO
