NAME
Test::Unit::Assertion - The abstract base class for assertions
NAME
Any assertion class that expects to plug into Test::Unit::Assert needs to implement this
interface.
Required methods
new Creates a new assertion object. Takes whatever arguments you desire. Isn't strictly
necessary for the framework to work with this class but is generally considered a good
idea.
do_assertion
This is the important one. If Test::Unit::Assert::assert is called with an object as
its first argument then it does:
$_[0]->do_assertion(@_[1 .. $#_]) ||
$self->fail("Assertion failed");
This means that "do_assertion" should return true if the assertion succeeds and false
if it doesn't. Or, you can fail by throwing a Test::Unit::Failure object, which will
get caught further up the stack and used to produce a sensible error report. Generally
it's good practice for do_assertion to die with a meaningful error on assertion
failure rather than just returning false.
