Test2::Tools::Tester(3)

NAME
Test2::Tools::Tester - Tools to help you test other testing tools.

DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of tools that are useful when testing other test tools.

SYNOPSIS
    use Test2::Tools::Tester qw/event_groups filter_events facets/;

    use Test2::Tools::Basic qw/plan pass ok/;
    use Test2::Tools::Compare qw/is like/;

    my $events = intercept {
        plan 11;

        pass('pass');
        ok(1, 'pass');

        is(1, 1, "pass");
        like(1, 1, "pass");
    };

    # Grab events generated by tools in Test2::Tools::Basic
    my $basic = filter $events => 'Test2::Tools::Basic';

    # Grab events generated by Test2::Tools::Basic;
    my $compare = filter $events => 'Test2::Tools::Compare';

    # Grab events generated by tools named 'ok'.
    my $oks = filter $events => qr/.*::ok$/;

    my $grouped = group_events $events;
    # Breaks events into this structure:
    {
        '__NA__' => [ ... ],
        'Test2::Tools::Basic' => {
            '__ALL__' => [ $events->[0], $events->[1], $events->[2] ],
            plan => [ $events->[0] ],
            pass => [ $events->[1] ],
            ok => [ $events->[2] ],
        },
        Test2::Tools::Compare => { ... },
    }

    # Get an arrayref of all the assert facets from the list of events.
    my $assert_facets = facets assert => $events;
    # [
    #   bless({ details => 'pass', pass => 1}, 'Test2::EventFacet::Assert'),
    #   bless({ details => 'pass', pass => 1}, 'Test2::EventFacet::Assert'),
    # ]

    # Same, but for info facets
    my $info_facets = facets info => $events;

EXPORTS
No subs are exported by default.

$array_ref = filter $events => $PACKAGE
$array_ref = filter $events => $PACKAGE1, $PACKAGE2
$array_ref = filter $events => qr/match/
$array_ref = filter $events => qr/match/, $PACKAGE
    This function takes an arrayref of events as the first argument. All additional arguments must either be a package name, or a regex. Any event that is generated by a tool in any of the package, or by a tool that matches any of the regexes, will be returned in an arrayref.

$grouped = group_events($events)
    This function iterates all the events in the argument arrayref and splits them into groups. The resulting data structure is:

        { PACKAGE => { SUBNAME => [ $EVENT1, $EVENT2, ... }}

    If the package of an event is not known it will be put into and arrayref under the '__NA__' key at the root of the structure. If a sub name is not known it will typically go under the '__ANON__' key in under the package name.

    In addition there is an '__ALL__' key under each package which stores all of the events sorted into that group.

    A more complete example:

        {
            '__NA__' => [ $event->[3] ],
            'Test2::Tools::Basic' => {
                '__ALL__' => [ $events->[0], $events->[1], $events->[2] ],
                plan => [ $events->[0] ],
                pass => [ $events->[1] ],
                ok => [ $events->[2] ],
            },
        }

$arrayref = facets TYPE => $events
    This function will compile a list of all facets of the specified type that are found in the arrayref of events. If the facet has a "Test2::EventFacet::TYPE" package available then the facet will be constructed into an instance of the class, otherwise it is left as a hashref. Facet Order is preserved.

        my $assert_facets = facets assert => $events;
        # [
        #   bless({ details => 'pass', pass => 1}, 'Test2::EventFacet::Assert'),
        #   bless({ details => 'pass', pass => 1}, 'Test2::EventFacet::Assert'),
        # ]
