NAME
Test::API - Test a list of subroutines provided by a module
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More tests => 3;
use Test::API;
require_ok( 'My::Package' );
public_ok ( 'My::Package', @names );
import_ok ( 'My::Package',
export => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
export_ok => [ 'baz', 'bam' ],
);
class_api_ok( 'My::Class', @methods );
DESCRIPTION
This simple test module checks the subroutines provided by a module.
This is useful for confirming a planned API in testing and ensuring that
other functions aren't unintentionally included via import.
USAGE
Note: Subroutines in a package starting with an underscore are ignored.
Therefore, do not include them in any list of expected subroutines.
public_ok
public_ok( $package, @names );
This function checks that all of the @names provided are available
within the $package namespace and that *only* these subroutines are
available. This means that subroutines imported from other modules will
cause this test to fail unless they are explicitly included in @names.
class_api_ok
class_api_ok( $class, @names );
A variation of "public_ok" for object-oriented modules. Allows
superclasses to fill in "missing" subroutines, but "extra" methods
provided by superclasses will not cause the test to fail.
import_ok
import_ok ( $package, %spec );
This function checks that $package correctly exports an expected list of
subroutines and *only* these subroutines. The %spec generally follows
the style used by [Exporter], but in lower case:
%spec = (
export => [ 'foo', 'bar' ], # exported automatically
export_ok => [ 'baz', 'bam' ], # optional exports
);
For "export_ok", the test will check for public functions not listed in
"export" or "export_ok" that can be imported and will fail if any are
found.
