NAME

       Log::Any::Test -- Test what you're logging with Log::Any

SYNOPSIS

	   use Test::More;
	   use Log::Any::Test;	  # should appear before 'use Log::Any'!
	   use Log::Any qw($log);

	   # ...
	   # call something that logs using Log::Any
	   # ...

	   # now test to make sure you logged the right things

	   $log->contains_ok(qr/good log message/, "good message was logged");
	   $log->does_not_contain_ok(qr/unexpected log message/, "unexpected message was not logged");
	   $log->empty_ok("no more logs");

	   # or

	   my $msgs = $log->msgs;
	   cmp_deeply($msgs, [{message => 'msg1', level => 'debug'}, ...]);

DESCRIPTION

       "Log::Any::Test" is a simple module that allows you to test what has been logged with Log::Any. Most of its API and implementation have
       been taken from Log::Any::Dispatch.

       Using "Log::Any::Test" sends all subsequent Log::Any log messages to a single global in-memory buffer.  It should be used before Log::Any.

METHODS

       The test_name is optional in the *_ok methods; a reasonable default will be provided.

       msgs ()
	   Returns the current contents of the global log buffer as an array reference, where each element is a hash containing a category, level,
	   and message key.  e.g.

	     {
	       category => 'Foo',
	       level => 'error',
	       message => 'this is an error'
	     },
	     {
	       category => 'Bar::Baz',
	       level => 'debug',
	       message => 'this is a debug'
	     }

       contains_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
	   Tests that a message in the log buffer matches $regex. On success, the message is removed from the log buffer (but any other matches
	   are left untouched).

       does_not_contain_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
	   Tests that no message in the log buffer matches $regex.

       empty_ok ([$test_name])
	   Tests that there is no log buffer left. On failure, the log buffer is cleared to limit further cascading failures.

       contains_only_ok ($regex[, $test_name])
	   Tests that there is a single message in the log buffer and it matches $regex. On success, the message is removed.

       clear ()
	   Clears the log buffer.
