Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy#

Convert facet data to the legacy event API.

DESCRIPTION#

This module exports several subroutines from the older event API (see Test2::Event). These subroutines can be used as methods on any object that provides a custom facet_data() method. These subroutines can also be used as functions that take a facet data hashref as arguments.

SYNOPSIS#

AS METHODS#

package My::Event;

use Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy ':ALL';

sub facet_data { return { ... } }

Then to use it:

my $e = My::Event->new(...);

my $causes_fail = $e->causes_fail;
my $summary     = $e->summary;
....

AS FUNCTIONS#

use Test2::Util::Facets2Legacy ':ALL';

my $f = {
    assert => { ... },
    info => [{...}, ...],
    control => {...},
    ...
};

my $causes_fail = causes_fail($f);
my $summary     = summary($f);

NOTE ON CYCLES#

When used as methods, all these subroutines call $e->facet_data(). The default facet_data() method in Test2::Event relies on the legacy methods this module emulates in order to work. As a result of this it is very easy to create infinite recursion bugs.

These methods have cycle detection and will throw an exception early if a cycle is detected. uuid() is currently the only subroutine in this library that has a fallback behavior when cycles are detected.

EXPORTS#

Nothing is exported by default. You must specify which methods to import, or use the ‘:ALL’ tag.

  • $bool = $e->causes_fail()

  • $bool = causes_fail($f)

    Check if the event or facets result in a failing state.

  • $bool = $e->diagnostics()

  • $bool = diagnostics($f)

    Check if the event or facets contain any diagnostics information.

  • $bool = $e->global()

  • $bool = global($f)

    Check if the event or facets need to be globally processed.

  • $bool = $e->increments_count()

  • $bool = increments_count($f)

    Check if the event or facets make an assertion.

  • $bool = $e->no_display()

  • $bool = no_display($f)

    Check if the event or facets should be rendered or hidden.

  • ($max, $directive, $reason) = $e->sets_plan()

  • ($max, $directive, $reason) = sets_plan($f)

    Check if the event or facets set a plan, and return the plan details.

  • $id = $e->subtest_id()

  • $id = subtest_id($f)

    Get the subtest id, if any.

  • $string = $e->summary()

  • $string = summary($f)

    Get the summary of the event or facets hash, if any.

  • $undef_or_int = $e->terminate()

  • $undef_or_int = terminate($f)

    Check if the event or facets should result in process termination, if so the exit code is returned (which could be 0). undef is returned if no termination is requested.

  • $uuid = $e->uuid()

  • $uuid = uuid($f)

    Get the UUID of the facets or event.

    Note: This will fall back to $e->SUPER::uuid() if a cycle is detected and an event is used as the argument.
