Test::Expect(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::Expect(3pm)
NAME
Test::Expect - Automated driving and testing of terminal-based programs
SYNOPSIS
# in a t/*.t file:
use Test::Expect;
use Test::More tests => 13;
expect_run(
command => "perl testme.pl",
prompt => 'testme: ',
quit => 'quit',
);
expect("ping", "pong", "expect");
expect_send("ping", "expect_send");
expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");
expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");
DESCRIPTION
Test::Expect is a module for automated driving and testing of terminal-based programs. It is handy for testing interactive programs which
have a prompt, and is based on the same concepts as the Tcl Expect tool. As in Expect::Simple, the Expect object is made available for
tweaking.
Test::Expect is intended for use in a test script.
SUBROUTINES
expect_run
The expect_run subroutine sets up Test::Expect. You must pass in the interactive program to run, what the prompt of the program is, and
which command quits the program:
expect_run(
command => "perl testme.pl",
prompt => 'testme: ',
quit => 'quit',
);
expect
The expect subroutine is the catch all subroutine. You pass in the command, the expected output of the subroutine and an optional comment.
expect("ping", "pong", "expect");
expect_send
The expect_send subroutine sends a command to the program. You pass in the command and an optional comment.
expect_send("ping", "expect_send");
expect_is
The expect_is subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's is. It has an optional comment:
expect_is("* Hi there, to testme", "expect_is");
expect_like
The expect_like subroutine tests the output of the program like Test::More's like. It has an optional comment:
expect_like(qr/Hi there, to testme/, "expect_like");
expect_handle
This returns the Expect object.
expect_quit
Closes the Expect handle.

Expect, Expect::Simple.
