NAME¶
Test::API - Test a list of subroutines provided by a module
VERSION¶
version 0.005
SYNOPSIS¶
use Test::More tests => 3;
use Test::API;
require_ok( 'My::Package' );
public_ok ( 'My::Package', @names );
import_ok ( 'My::Package',
export => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
export_ok => [ 'baz', 'bam' ],
);
class_api_ok( 'My::Class', @methods );
DESCRIPTION¶
This simple test module checks the subroutines provided by a module. This is
useful for confirming a planned API in testing and ensuring that other
functions aren't unintentionally included via import.
USAGE¶
Note: Subroutines starting with an underscore are ignored, as are a number of
other methods not intended to be called directly by end-users.
import unimport bootstrap

MODIFY_FORMAT_ATTRIBUTES MODIFY_IO_ATTRIBUTES
FETCH_REF_ATTRIBUTES FETCH_SCALAR_ATTRIBUTES FETCH_ARRAY_ATTRIBUTES
FETCH_HASH_ATTRIBUTES FETCH_CODE_ATTRIBUTES FETCH_GLOB_ATTRIBUTES
FETCH_FORMAT_ATTRIBUTES FETCH_IO_ATTRIBUTES
Therefore, do not include any of these in a list of expected subroutines.
public_ok¶
public_ok( $package, @names );
This function checks that all of the @names provided are available within the
$package namespace and that *only* these subroutines are available. This means
that subroutines imported from other modules will cause this test to fail
unless they are explicitly included in @names.
class_api_ok¶
class_api_ok( $class, @names );
A variation of "public_ok" for object-oriented modules. Allows
superclasses to fill in "missing" subroutines, but "extra"
methods provided by superclasses will not cause the test to fail.
import_ok¶
import_ok ( $package, %spec );
This function checks that $package correctly exports an expected list of
subroutines and *only* these subroutines. The %spec generally follows the
style used by [Exporter], but in lower case:
%spec = (
export => [ 'foo', 'bar' ], # exported automatically
export_ok => [ 'baz', 'bam' ], # optional exports
);
For "export_ok", the test will check for public functions not listed
in "export" or "export_ok" that can be imported and will
fail if any are found.
