package Module::Mask; use strict; use warnings; our $VERSION = '0.03'; =head1 NAME Module::Mask - Pretend certain modules are not installed =head1 SYNOPSIS use Module::Mask; { my $mask = new Module::Mask ('My::Module'); eval { require My::Module }; if ($@) { # ... should be called } else { warn "require succeeded unexpectedly" } } # The mask is out of scope, this should now work. eval { require My::Module }; # There's also an inverted version: { my $mask = new Module::Mask::Inverted qw( Foo Bar ); # Now only Foo and Bar can be loaded by require: eval {require Baz}; } =head1 DESCRIPTION Sometimes you need to test what happens when a given module is not installed. This module provides a way of temporarily hiding installed modules from perl's require mechanism. The Module::Mask object adds itself to @INC and blocks require calls to restricted modules. Module::Mask will not affect modules already loaded at time of instantiation. =cut use Module::Util qw( module_path ); use Scalar::Util qw( weaken ); use Carp qw( shortmess ); # Don't want this to be loaded inside INC by calling shortmess require Carp::Heavy; =head1 METHODS =head2 import use Module::Mask @modules; $class->import(@modules); Globally masks modules. This can be used to block optional modules for testing purposes. perl -MModule::Mask=MyOptionalModule my_test.pl =cut sub import { my $class = shift; our $Mask = $class->new(@_); } =head2 new $obj = $class->new(@modules); Returns a new instance of this class. Any arguments are passed to mask_modules. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my $self = bless {}, $class; $self->mask_modules(@_); $self->set_mask; return $self; } sub DESTROY { my $self = shift; $self->clear_mask(); } =head2 mask_modules $obj = $obj->mask_modules(@modules) Add the given modules to the mask. Arguments can be paths or module names, module names will be stored internally as relative paths. So there's no difference between the following statements: $mask->mask_modules('My::Module'); $mask->mask_modules('My/Module.pm'); =cut sub mask_modules { my ($self, @modules) = @_; for my $module (@modules) { next unless defined $module; $self->_mask_module($module); } return $self; } sub _path { my ($self, $module) = @_; return module_path $module || $module; } # internal method to allow overriding sub _mask_module { my ($self, $module) = @_; my $path = $self->_path($module) or return; $self->{$path} = 1; } =head2 clear_mask $obj = $obj->clear_mask() Stops the object from masking modules by removing it from @INC. This is automatically called when object goes out of scope. =cut sub clear_mask { my $self = shift; @INC = grep { !ref $_ or $_ != $self } @INC; return $self; } =head2 set_mask $obj = $obj->set_mask() Makes the object start masking modules by adding it to @INC. This is called by new(). This also has the effect of moving the object to the front of @INC again, which could prove useful if @INC has been manipulated since the object was first instantiated. Calling this method on an object already in @INC won't cause multiple copies to appear. =cut sub set_mask { my $self = shift; # We might already be in @INC $self->clear_mask; unshift @INC, $self; weaken $INC[0]; # don't let @INC keep us alive. return $self; } =head2 is_masked $bool = $obj->is_masked($module) Returns true if the mask object is currently masking the given module, false otherwise. Module::Mask::Inverted objects have the opposite behaviour. =cut sub is_masked { my ($self, $module) = @_; return $self->_is_listed($module); } # internal method to determine whether a module is listed in the mask or not. sub _is_listed { my ($self, $module) = @_; my $path = $self->_path($module) or return 0; return $self->{$path} ? 1 : 0; } @Module::Mask::Inverted::ISA = qw( Module::Mask ); sub Module::Mask::Inverted::is_masked { my $self = shift; return ! $self->_is_listed(@_); } =head2 list_masked @modules = $obj->list_masked() Returns a list of modules that are being masked. These are in the form of relative file paths, as found in %INC. =cut sub list_masked { keys %{$_[0]} } =head2 INC Implements the hook in @INC. See perldoc -f require =cut # INC gets forced into main unless explicitly qualified sub Module::Mask::INC { my ($self, $filename) = @_; if ($self->is_masked($filename)) { die $self->message($filename); } else { return; } } =head2 message $message = $obj->message($filename) Returns the "module not found" message for the given filename. This should be identical to the message that perl generates, so that code that detects missing modules works as expected. If you want module masking to be more obvious, override this method yourself: @My::Mask::ISA = 'Module::Mask'; sub My::Mask::message = sub { my ($self, $filename) = @_; return "$filename masked\n"; } The return value is passed directly to die in INC(). =cut sub message { my ($self, $filename) = @_; local $" = " "; my $msg = shortmess( "Can't locate $filename in \@INC ", "(\@INC contains: @INC)", ); # real require failures end in a full-stop. $msg =~ s/\s+ \z/.\n/x; return $msg; } 1; __END__ =head1 BUGS Because loaded modules cannot be masked, the following module are effectively never able to be masked as they are used my Module::Mask. =over =item * Module::Util =item * Scalar::Util =item * Carp =back Plus some other core modules and pragmata used by these. Run perl -MModule::Mask -le 'print for keys %INC' To see a definitive list. =head1 SEE ALSO perldoc -f require L =head1 AUTHOR Matt Lawrence Emattlaw@cpan.orgE =cut vim: ts=8 sts=4 sw=4 sr et
