NAME

       Test::Unit - the PerlUnit testing framework

SYNOPSIS

       This package provides only the project version number, copyright texts, and a framework overview in POD format.

DESCRIPTION

       This framework is intended to support unit testing in an object-oriented development paradigm (with support for inheritance of tests etc.)
       and is derived from the JUnit testing framework for Java by Kent Beck and Erich Gamma.  To start learning how to use this framework, see
       Test::Unit::TestCase and Test::Unit::TestSuite.	(There will also eventually be a tutorial in Test::Unit::Tutorial.

       However "Test::Unit::Procedural" is the procedural style interface to a sophisticated unit testing framework for Perl that .  Test::Unit is
       intended to provide a simpler interface to the framework that is more suitable for use in a scripting style environment.  Therefore,
       Test::Unit does not provide much support for an object-oriented approach to unit testing.

FEEDBACK

       The Perl Unit development team are humans. In part we develop stuff because it scratches our collective itch but we'd also really like to
       know if it scratches yours.

       Please subscribe to the perlunit-users mailing list at <http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/perlunit-users> and let us know what
       you love and hate about PerlUnit and what else you want to do with it.

NAME

       Lire::Test::TestCase - Common base for Lire test cases.

SYNOPSIS

	use base qw/Lire::Test::TestCase/;

	sub set_up {
	    my $self = shift->SUPER::set_up();

	    $self->{'cfg'}{'lr_schemas_path'} = [ $self->{'tmpdir'} ];
	}

DESCRIPTION

       This package can be used to write test cases for Lire instead of inheriting directly from Test::Unit::TestCase.

       The default set_up method will create a Lire::Test::HashConfig object and set it up in the configuration framework. This makes it easy to
       set configuration variables to arbitrary values in the set_up() method.

       It also sets the LC_MESSAGES locale category to 'C'.

       If you override set_up() and tear_down() be sure to call the SUPER:: implementation.

       This subclass also defined a new kind of assertion which make sure that a snippet of code died with a proper error message.

   assert_died( $test, $regex, [ $msg ] )
       Execute $test and fail unless it dies with a message matching $regex.  $test should be a reference to CODE. $regex should be a Regexp ref.

   assert_dies( $regex, $test, [ $msg ] )
       Like assert_died() but with a signature closer to the one defined in Test::Unit::Assert.

   assert_isa( $class, $instance, [ $msg ] )
       Fails unless $instance is an instance of $class.

FIXTURE RELATED METHOD

   lire_default_config_spec()
       Returns a Lire::Config::ConfigSpec object initialized from the default Lire configuration specification.

   set_up_tz( $tz )
       When you tests uses timelocal() or localtime(), you should use that method to specify the TZ under which it should run.

       The TZ will be reset to its previous value during tear_down().

   set_up_plugin_mgr()
       This will make the global PluginManager an instance that will only live for the current test. The old PluginManager will be reinstated
       during tear_down(). This way, you do not need to track calls to register_plugin().
