=head1 NAME
Test::Expr - Test an expression with better error messages
=head1 VERSION
This document describes Test::Expr version 0.000004
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Test::Expr;
plan tests => 5;
ok $got == $expected;
ok $got eq $expected;
ok $got != $expected;
ok $got le $expected;
ok $got >= $expected;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This testing module installs a single keyword: C<ok>
That keyword evaluates the expression and produces a test report entry
in the usual way (i.e. just like C<Test::Simple::ok> or C<Test::More::ok>).
Except that, if you don't give it a description argument, it uses
the test expression itself as the description.
In addition, the diagnostic message produced if the test fails is
significantly more useful than that provided by either of those other
two modules.
For example, the sample code in the Synopsis
might produce the following report:
1..5
ok 1 - $got == $expected
not ok 2 - $got eq $expected
# Failed test '$got eq $expected'
# at t/synopsis.t line 13.
# because:
# $got --> "1.0"
# $expected --> 1
#
not ok 3 - $got != $expected
# Failed test '$got != $expected'
# at t/synopsis.t line 14.
# because:
# $got --> "1.0"
# $expected --> 1
#
not ok 4 - $got le $expected
# Failed test '$got le $expected'
# at t/synopsis.t line 15.
# because:
# $got --> "1.0"
# $expected --> 1
#
ok 5 - $got >= $expected
# Looks like you failed 3 tests of 5.
In other words, this version of C<ok> reports both that
the test that was done, and the values of the variables
involved that caused the test to fail.
The idea is that you can just write every test as: C<ok EXPR>, but you
now get useful error messages. This mostly eliminates the need for the
following functions from Test::More:
# Can write... # Instead of...
ok $got eq $expected; is $got, $expected;
ok $got ne $unexpected; isnt $got, $unexpected;
ok $got ~~ $expected; is_deeply $got, $expected;
ok $got =~ $pattern; like $got, $pattern;
ok $got !~ $pattern; unlike $got, $pattern;
ok $obj->isa($classname); is_ok $got, $classname;
ok $obj->can($methodname); can_ok $obj, $methodname;
=head1 INTERFACE
=head2 C<ok EXPR>
=head2 C<ok EXPR, DESC>
The C<ok> keyword works exactly like the C<ok> functions of Test::Simple
and Test::More. The only difference in behaviour is in the detail of the
diagnostics issued when the test fails.
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
None (apart from the diagnostics issued by failing tests).
=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Test::Expr requires no configuration files or environment variables.
=head1 DEPENDENCIES
Requires Perl v5.14 and the Keyword::Declare module.
=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
None reported.
=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Due to a problem with regex compilation under Perl v5.20, this module is
absurdly and unusably slow under that release. This issue does not arise
in any other supported release of Perl.
No bugs have been reported.
Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-test-expr@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
