Test::SubCalls(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::SubCalls(3) NAME
Test::SubCalls - Track the number of times subs are called SYNOPSIS
use Test::SubCalls; # Start tracking calls to a named sub sub_track( 'Foo::foo' ); # Run some test code ... # Test that some sub deep in the codebase was called # a specific number of times. sub_calls( 'Foo::foo', 5 ); sub_calls( 'Foo::foo', 5, 'Use a custom test message' ); # Reset the counts for one or all subs sub_reset( 'Foo::foo' ); sub_reset_all(); DESCRIPTION
There are a number of different situations (like testing caching code) where you want to want to do a number of tests, and then verify that some underlying subroutine deep within the code was called a specific number of times. This module provides a number of functions for doing testing in this way in association with your normal Test::More (or similar) test scripts. FUNCTIONS
In the nature of test modules, all functions are exported by default. sub_track $subname The "sub_track" function creates a new call tracker for a named function. The sub to track must be provided by name, references to the function itself are insufficient. Returns true if added, or dies on error. sub_calls $subname, $expected_calls [, $message ] The "sub_calls" function is the primary (and only) testing function provided by "Test::SubCalls". A single call will represent one test in your plan. It takes the subroutine name as originally provided to "sub_track", the expected number of times the subroutine should have been called, and an optional test message. If no message is provided, a default message will be provided for you. Test is ok if the number of times the sub has been called matches the expected number, or not ok if not. sub_reset $subname To prevent repeat users from having to take before and after counts when they start testing from after zero, the "sub_reset" function has been provided to reset a sub call counter to zero. Returns true or dies if the sub name is invalid or not currently tracked. sub_reset_all Provided mainly as a convenience, the "sub_reset_all" function will reset all the counters currently defined. Returns true. SUPPORT
