package Pod::Snippets; use warnings; use strict; =head1 NAME Pod::Snippets - Extract and reformat snippets of POD so as to use them in a unit test (or other Perl code) =head1 VERSION Version 0.11 =cut our $VERSION = '0.11'; =head1 SYNOPSIS =for metatests "synopsis test script" begin use Pod::Snippets; my $snips = load Pod::Snippets($file_or_handle, -markup => "test"); my $code_snippet = $snips->named("synopsis")->as_code; # ... Maybe borg $code_snippet with regexes or something... my $result = eval $code_snippet; die $@ if $@; like($result->what_happen(), qr/bomb/); =for metatests "synopsis test script" end The Perl code that we want to extract snippets from might look like this: =for metatests "synopsis POD" begin package Zero::Wing; =head1 NAME Zero::Wing - For great justice! =head1 SYNOPSIS =for test "synopsis" begin use Zero::Wing; my $capitain = Zero::Wing->capitain; =for test "synopsis" end =cut # ... 1; =for metatests "synopsis POD" end =head1 DESCRIPTION This class is a very simple extension of L that extracts POD snippets from Perl code, and pretty-prints it so as to make it useable from other Perl code. As demonstrated above, B is immediately useful to test-driven-development nutcases who want to put every single line of Perl code under test, including code that is in the POD (typically a SYNOPSIS section). There are other uses, such as storing a piece of information that is both human- and machine-readable (eg an XML schema) simultaneously as documentation and code. =head2 Using Pod::Snippets for unit testing The L demonstrates how to use B to grab a piece of POD and execute it with L. This can readily be done using your usual unit testing methodology, without too much ajusting if any. This approach has some advantages over other code-in-POD devices such as L and L: =over =item * There is no preprocessing step involved, hence no temp files and no loss of hair in the debugger due to line renumbering. =item * Speaking of which, L prepends an appropriate C<#line> if possible, so you can single-step through your POD (yow!). =back The Pod-Snippets CPAN distribution consists of a single Perl file, and has no dependencies besides what comes with a standard Perl 5.8.x. It is therefore easy to embed into your own module so that your users won't need to install B by themselves before running your test suite. All that remains to do is to select the right options to pass to L as part of an appropriately named wrapper function in your test library. =head2 Snippet Syntax B only deals with verbatim portions of the POD (that is, as per L, paragraphs that start with whitespace at the right) and custom markup starting with C<=for test>, C<=begin test> or C<=end test>; it discards the rest (block text, actual Perl code, character markup such as BEE, =head's and so on). The keyword "test" in C<=for test> and C<=begin test> can be replaced with whatever one wants, using the C<-markup> argument to L. Actually the default value is not even "test"; nonetheless let's assume you are using "test" yourself for the remainder of this discussion. The following metadata markup is recognized: =over =item B<=for test ignore> Starts ignoring all POD whatsoever. Verbatim portions of the POD are no longer stashed by B until remanded by a subsequent C<=for test>. =item B<=for test> Cancels the effect of an ongoing C<=for test ignore> directive. =item B<=for test "foo" begin> =item B<=for test "foo" end> These signal the start and end of a I POD snippet, that can later be fetched by name using L. Unless countermanded by appropriate parser options (see L), named POD snippets can nest freely (even badly). =item B<=begin test> =item B<=end test> The POD between these markers will be seen by B, but not by other POD formatters. Otherwise has no effect on the naming or ignoring of snippets; in particular, if the contents of the section is not in POD verbatim style, it still gets ignored. =item B<=begin test "foo"> =item B<=end test "foo"> These have the exact same effect as C<=for test "foo" begin> and C<=for test "foo" end>, except that other POD formatters will not see the contents of the block. =back =head1 CONSTRUCTORS =head2 load ($source, -opt1 => $val1, ...) Parses the POD from $source and returns an object of class B that holds the snippets found therein. $source may be the name of a file, a file descriptor (glob reference) or any object that has a I method. Available named options are: =over =item B<< -filename => $filename >> The value to set for L, that is, the name of the file to use for C<#line> lines in L. The default behavior is to use the filename passed as the $source argument, or if it was not a filename, use the string "pod snippet" instead. =item B<< -line => $line >> The line number to start counting lines from, eg in case the $source got a few lines chopped off it before being passed to I. Default is 1. =item B<< -markup => $name >> The markup (aka "format name" in L) to use as the first token after C<=for>, C<=begin> or C<=end> to indicate that the directive is to be processed by B (see L. Default is "Pod::Snippets". =item B<< -report_errors => $sub >> Invokes $sub like so to deal with warnings and errors: $sub->($severity, $text, $file, $line); where $severity is either "WARNING" or "ERROR". By default the standard Perl L is used. Regardless of the number of errors, the constructor tries to load the whole file; see below. =item B<< -named_snippets => "warn_impure" >> Raises an error upon encountering this kind of construct: =for metatests "named_snippets impure error" begin =for test "foobar" begin my $foobar = foobar(); =head1 And now something completely different... =for test "foobar" end =for metatests "named_snippets impure error" end In other words, only verbatim blocks may intervene between the B<=for test "foobar" begin> and B<=for test "foobar" end> markups. =item B<< -named_snippets => "warn_multiple" >> Raises a warning upon encountering this kind of construct: =for metatests "named_snippets multiple error" begin =for test "foobar" begin my $foobar = foobar(); =for test "foobar" end =for test "foobar" begin $foobar->quux_some_more(); =for test "foobar" end =for metatests "named_snippets multiple error" end =item B<< -named_snippets => "warn_overlap" >> Raises a warning if named snippets overlap in any way. =item B<< -named_snippets => "warn_bad_pairing" >> Raises a warning if opening and closing markup for named snippets is improperly paired (eg opening or closing twice, or forgetting to close before the end of the file). =item B<< -named_snippets => "error_impure" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "error_multiple" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "error_overlap" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "error_bad_pairing" >> Same as the C counterparts above, but cause errors instead of warnings. =item B<< -named_snippets => "ignore_impure" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "ignore_multiple" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "ignore_overlap" >> =item B<< -named_snippets => "ignore_bad_pairing" >> Ignores the corresponding dubious constructs described above. The default behavior is C<< -named_snippets => "warn_bad_pairing" >> and ignore the rest. =item B<< -named_snippets => "strict" >> Equivalent to C<< (-named_snippets => "error_overlap", -named_snippets => "error_impure", -named_snippets => "error_multiple", -named_snippets => "error_bad_pairing") >>. =back Note that the correctness of the POD to be parsed is a prerequisite; in other words, I won't touch the error management knobs of the underlying L object. Also, note that the parser strictness options such as B<-named_snippets> have no effect on the semantics; they merely alter its response (ignore, warning or error) to the aforementioned dubious constructs. In any case, the parser will soldier on until the end of the file regardless of the number of errors seen; however, it will disallow further processing of the snippets if there were any errors (see L). =cut sub load { my ($class, $source, @opts) = @_; my $self = bless {}, $class; $self->{start_line} = 1; $self->{filename} = "$source" unless (ref($source) eq "GLOB" || eval { $source->can("getline") }); undef $@; # Grind the syntactic sugar to dust: my %opts = (-line => 1, -filename => $self->filename, -report_errors => sub { my ($severity, $text, $file, $line) = @_; warn <<"MESSAGE"; $severity: $text in $file line $line MESSAGE }, -markup => "Pod::Snippets", -bad_pairing => "warning"); while(my ($k, $v) = splice @opts, 0, 2) { if ($k eq "-named_snippets") { if ($v eq "strict") { $opts{"-$_"} = "error" foreach (qw(overlap impure multiple bad_pairing)); } elsif ($v =~ m|^ignore_(.*)|) { $opts{"-$1"} = "ignore"; } elsif ($v =~ m|^error_(.*)|) { $opts{"-$1"} = "error"; } elsif ($v =~ m|^warn(ing)?_(.*)|) { $opts{"-$2"} = "warning"; } } elsif ($k eq "-line") { $self->{start_line} = $v; $opts{$k} = $v; } else { $opts{$k} = $v; } } # Run the parser: my $parser = "${class}::_Parser"->new_for_pod_snippets(%opts); if ($self->{filename}) { $parser->parse_from_file($self->{filename}, undef); } else { $parser->parse_from_filehandle($source, undef); } $parser->finalize_pod_snippets(); # Extract the relevant bits from it: $self->{unmerged_snippets} = $parser->pod_snippets; $self->{warnings} = $parser->pod_snippets_warnings; $self->{errors} = $parser->pod_snippets_errors; return $self; } =head2 parse ($string, -opt1 => $val1, ...) Same as L, but works from a Perl string instead of a file descriptor. The named options are the same as in I, but consider using C<< -filename >> as I is in no position to guess it. =cut sub parse { my ($class, $string, @args) = @_; return $class->load(Pod::Snippets::LineFeeder->new($string), @args); package Pod::Snippets::LineFeeder; sub new { my ($class, $string) = @_; my $nl = $/; # Foils smarter-than-thou regex parser return bless { lines => [ $string =~ m{(.*(?:$nl|$))}g ] }; } sub getline { shift @{shift->{lines}} } } =head1 ACCESSORS =head2 filename () Returns the name of the file to use for C<#line> lines in L. The default behavior is to use the filename passed as the $source argument, or if it was not a filename, use the string "pod snippet" instead. =cut sub filename { shift->{filename} || "pod snippet" } =head2 warnings () Returns the number of warnings that occured during the parsing of the POD. =head2 errors () Returns the number of errors that occured during the parsing of the POD. If that number is non-zero, then all accessors described below will throw an exception instead of performing. =cut sub warnings { shift->{warnings} } sub errors { shift->{errors} } =head2 as_data () Returns the snippets in "data" format: that is, the return value is ragged to the left by suppressing a constant number of space characters at the beginning of each snippet. (If tabs are present in the POD, they are treated as being of infinite length; that is, the ragging algorithm does not eat them or replace them with spaces.) A snippet is defined as a series of subsequent verbatim POD paragraphs with only B markup, if anything, intervening in between. That is, I, given the following POD in input: =for metatests "as_data multiple blocks input" begin my $a = new The::Brain; =begin test # Just kidding. We can't do that, it's too dangerous. $a = new Pinky; =end test =for test ignore system("/sbin/reboot"); and all of a sudden, we have: =for test if ($a->has_enough_cookies()) { $a->conquer_world(); } =for metatests "as_data multiple blocks input" end would return (in list context) =for metatests "as_data multiple blocks return" begin (<<'FIRST_SNIPPET', <<'SECOND_SNIPPET'); my $a = new The::Brain; # Just kidding. We can't do that, it's too dangerous. $a = new Pinky; FIRST_SNIPPET if ($a->has_enough_cookies()) { $a->conquer_world(); } SECOND_SNIPPET =for metatests "as_data multiple blocks return" end Notice how the indentation is respected snippet-by-snippet; also, notice that the FIRST_SNIPPET has been padded with an appropriate number of carriage returns to replace the B markup, so that the return value is line-synchronized with the original POD. However, leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed, leaving only strings that starts with a nonblank line and end with a single newline. In scalar context, returns the blocks joined with a single newline character ("\n"), thus resulting in a single piece of text where the blocks are joined by exactly one empty line (and which as a whole is no longer line-synchronized with the source code, of course). =cut sub as_data { my ($self) = @_; $self->_block_access_if_errors(); my @retval = map { # This may be a pedestrian and sub-optimal way of doing the # ragging, but it sure is concise: until (m/^\S/m) { s/^ //gm or last; }; "$_"; } ($self->_merged_snippets); return wantarray ? @retval : join("\n", @retval); } =head2 as_code () Returns the snippets formatted as code, that is, like L, except that each block is prepended with an appropriate C<#line> statement that Perl can interpret to renumber lines. For instance, these statements would cause Perl to Do The Right Thing if one compiles the snippets as code with L and then runs it under the Perl debugger. =cut sub as_code { my ($self) = @_; $self->_block_access_if_errors(); my @retval = $self->as_data; foreach my $i (0..$#retval) { my $file = $self->filename; my $line = ($self->_merged_snippets)[$i]->line() + $self->{start_line} - 1; $retval[$i] = <<"LINE_MARKUP" . $retval[$i]; #line $line "$file" LINE_MARKUP } return wantarray ? @retval : join("\n", @retval); } =head2 named ($name) Returns a clone of this B object, except that it only knows about the snippet (or snippets) that are named $name. In the most lax settings for the parser, this means: any and all snippets where an C<=for test "$name" begin> (or C<=begin test "$name">) had been open, but not yet closed with C<=for test "$name" end> (or C<=end test "$name">). Returns undef if no snippet named $name was seen at all. =cut sub named { my ($self, $name) = @_; $self->_block_access_if_errors(); my @snippets_with_this_name = grep { !defined($_) || $_->names_set->{$name} } (@{$self->{unmerged_snippets}}); return if ! grep { defined } @snippets_with_this_name; return bless { unmerged_snippets => \@snippets_with_this_name, map { exists $self->{$_} ?

MESSAGE } =head2 _merged_snippets () Returns roughly the same thing as L in L, except that leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed (updating the line counters appropriately), names are discarded and snippets are merged together (with appropriate padding using $/) according to the semantics set forth in L.
