NAME
Type::Tiny::Manual::UsingWithTestMore - Type::Tiny for test suites
MANUAL
Test::TypeTiny
This is a module for testing that types you've defined accept and reject the values you
think they should.
should_pass($value, $type);
should_fail($othervalue, $type);
Easy. (But yeah, I always forget whether the type goes first or second!)
There's also a function to test that subtype/supertype relationships are working okay.
ok_subtype($type, @subtypes);
Of course you can just check a type like this:
ok( $type->check($value) );
But the advantage of "should_pass" is that if the "EXTENDED_TESTING" environment variable
is set to true, "should_pass" will also perform a strict check on the value, which
involves climbing up the type's inheritance tree (its parent, its parent's parent, etc) to
make sure the value passes all their constraints.
If a normal check and strict check differ, this is usually a problem in the inlining code
somewhere.
See Test::TypeTiny for more information.
Type::Tiny as a Replacement for Test::Deep
Here's one of the examples from the Test::Deep documentation:
my $name_re = re('^(Mr|Mrs|Miss) \w+ \w+$');
cmp_deeply(
$person,
{
Name => $name_re,
Phone => re('^0d{6}$'),
ChildNames => array_each($name_re)
},
"person ok"
);
It's pretty easy to rewrite this to use Types::Standard:
my $name = StrMatch[ qr/^(Mr|Mrs|Miss) \w+ \w+$/ ];
should_pass(
$person,
Dict[
Name => $name,
Phone => StrMatch[ qr/^0d{6}$/ ],
ChildNames => ArrayRef[$name]
]
);
There's nothing especially wrong with Test::Deep, but if you're already familiar with
Type::Tiny's built-in types and you've maybe written your own type libraries too, it will
save you having to switch between using two separate systems of checks.
