NAME
    Test::Specio - Test helpers for Specio

VERSION
    version 0.47

SYNOPSIS
      use Test::Specio qw( test_constraint :vars );

      test_constraint(
          t('Foo'), {
              accept => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
              reject => [ 42,    {}, $EMPTY_STRING, $HASH_REF ],
          }
      );

DESCRIPTION
    This package provides some helper functions and variables for testing
    Specio types.

EXPORTS
    This module provides the following exports:

  test_constraint( $type, $tests, [ $describer ] )
    This subroutine accepts two arguments. The first should be a Specio type
    object. The second is hashref which can contain the keys "accept" and
    "reject". Each key should contain an arrayref of values which the type
    accepts or rejects.

    The third argument is optional. This is a sub reference which will be
    called to generate a description of the value being tested. This
    defaults to calling this package's "describe" sub, but you can provide
    your own.

  describe($value)
    Given a value, this subroutine returns a string describing that value in
    a useful way for test output. It know about the various classes used for
    the variables exported by this package and will do something intelligent
    when such a variable.

  builtins_tests( $GLOB, $GLOB_OVERLOAD, $GLOB_OVERLOAD_FH )
    This subroutine returns a hashref containing test variables for all
    builtin types. The hashref has a form like this:

      {
          Bool => {
              accept => [
                  $ZERO,
                  $ONE,
                  $BOOL_OVERLOAD_TRUE,
                  $BOOL_OVERLOAD_FALSE,
                  ...,
              ],
              reject => [
                  $INT,
                  $NEG_INT,
                  $NUM,
                  $NEG_NUM,
                  ...,
                  $OBJECT,
              ],
          },
          Maybe => {...},
      }

    You need to pass in a glob, an object which overloads globification, and
    an object which overloads globification to return an open filehandle.
    See below for more details on how to create these things.

  Variables
    This module also exports many variables containing values which are
    useful for testing constraints. Note that references are always empty
    unless stated otherwise. You can import these variables individually or
    import all of them with the ":vars" import tag.

    *   $ZERO

    *   $ONE

    *   $INT

        An arbitrary positive integer.

    *   $NEG_INT

        An arbitrary negative integer.

    *   $NUM

        An arbitrary positive non-integer number.

    *   $NEG_NUM

        An arbitrary negative non-integer number.

    *   $EMPTY_STRING

    *   $STRING

        An arbitrary non-empty string.

    *   $NUM_IN_STRING

        An arbitrary string which contains a number.

    *   $INT_WITH_NL1

        An string containing an integer followed by a newline.

    *   $INT_WITH_NL2

        An string containing a newline followed by an integer.

    *   $SCALAR_REF

    *   $SCALAR_REF_REF

        A reference containing a reference to a scalar.

    *   $ARRAY_REF

    *   $HASH_REF

    *   $CODE_REF

    *   $GLOB_REF

    *   $FH

        An opened filehandle.

    *   $FH_OBJECT

        An opened IO::File object.

    *   $REGEX

        A regex created with "qr//".

    *   $REGEX_OBJ

        A regex created with "qr//" that was then blessed into class.

    *   $FAKE_REGEX

        A non-regex blessed into the "Regexp" class which Perl uses
        internally for "qr//" objects.

    *   $OBJECT

        An arbitrary object.

    *   $UNDEF

    *   $CLASS_NAME

        A string containing a loaded package name.

    *   $BOOL_OVERLOAD_TRUE

        An object which overloads boolification to return true.

    *   $BOOL_OVERLOAD_FALSE

        An object which overloads boolification to return false.

    *   $STR_OVERLOAD_EMPTY

        An object which overloads stringification to return an empty string.

    *   $STR_OVERLOAD_FULL

        An object which overloads stringification to return a non-empty
        string.

    *   $STR_OVERLOAD_CLASS_NAME

        An object which overloads stringification to return a loaded package
        name.

    *   $NUM_OVERLOAD_ZERO

    *   $NUM_OVERLOAD_ONE

    *   $NUM_OVERLOAD_NEG

    *   $NUM_OVERLOAD_DECIMAL

    *   $NUM_OVERLOAD_NEG_DECIMAL

    *   $CODE_OVERLOAD

    *   $SCALAR_OVERLOAD

        An object which overloads scalar dereferencing to return a non-empty
        string.

    *   $ARRAY_OVERLOAD

        An object which overloads array dereferencing to return a non-empty
        array.

    *   $HASH_OVERLOAD

        An object which overloads hash dereferencing to return a non-empty
        hash.

  Globs and the _T::GlobOverload package
    To create a glob you can pass around for tests, use this code:

      my $GLOB = do {
          no warnings 'once';
          *SOME_GLOB;
      };

    The "_T::GlobOverload" package is defined when you load "Test::Specio"
    so you can create your own glob overloading objects. Such objects cannot
    be exported because the glob they return does not transfer across
    packages properly.

    You can create such a variable like this:

      local *FOO;
      my $GLOB_OVERLOAD = _T::GlobOverload->new( \*FOO );

    If you want to create a glob overloading object that returns a
    filehandle, do this:

      local *BAR;
      open BAR, '<', $^X or die "Could not open $^X for the test";
      my $GLOB_OVERLOAD_FH = _T::GlobOverload->new( \*BAR );
