Test2::EventFacet::Info(3perl) | Perl Programmers Reference Guide | Test2::EventFacet::Info(3perl) |
NAME¶
Test2::EventFacet::Info - Facet for information a developer might care about.
DESCRIPTION¶
This facet represents messages intended for humans that will help them either understand a result, or diagnose a failure.
NOTES¶
This facet appears in a list instead of being a single item.
FIELDS¶
- $string_or_structure = $info->{details}
- $string_or_structure = $info->details()
- Human readable string or data structure, this is the information to
display. Formatters are free to render the structures however they please.
This may contain a blessed object.
If the "table" attribute (see below) is set then a renderer may choose to display the table instead of the details.
- $structure = $info->{table}
- $structure = $info->table()
- If the data the "info" facet needs to
convey can be represented as a table then the data may be placed in this
attribute in a more raw form for better display. The data must also be
represented in the "details" attribute
for renderers which do not support rendering tables directly.
The table structure:
my %table = { header => [ 'column 1 header', 'column 2 header', ... ], # Optional rows => [ ['row 1 column 1', 'row 1, column 2', ... ], ['row 2 column 1', 'row 2, column 2', ... ], ... ], # Allow the renderer to hide empty columns when true, Optional collapse => $BOOL, # List by name or number columns that should never be collapsed no_collapse => \@LIST, }
- $short_string = $info->{tag}
- $short_string = $info->tag()
- Short tag to categorize the info. This is usually 10 characters or less, formatters may truncate longer tags.
- $bool = $info->{debug}
- $bool = $info->debug()
- Set this to true if the message is critical, or explains a failure. This
is info that should be displayed by formatters even in less-verbose modes.
When false the information is not considered critical and may not be rendered in less-verbose modes.
- $bool = $info->{important}
- $bool = $info->important
- This should be set for non debug messages that are still important enough to show when a formatter is in quiet mode. A formatter should send these to STDOUT not STDERR, but should show them even in non-verbose mode.
