Re: [cgiapp] Re: Testing Methods
Thanks to everyone for the input on this! It will likely take me a while to digest and try out these ideas. Mark - can you provide any example code as I'm not sure I follow your suggestion? The 'HTML::Template::Dumper' return value sounds useful, but I'm uncertain how to implement this... cheers, mike 2009/5/20 Mark Stosberg m...@summersault.com: On Wed, 13 May 2009 20:14:36 +0100 Mike Tonks fluffym...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi All, Can anyone recommend a method or point me to some examples for testing CGI::App run modes? In addition to using CGI_APP_RETURN_ONLY, you can also create a tiny sub-class of CGI::App-based module, so that html_tmpl_class returns 'HTML::Template::Dumper'. Then you'll get back a data structure of template instead of an HTML page, and this makes testing the values you send to the template easier.

Not to take too much away from this, but it doesn't test your template logic. Now most of my templates are very simple, it's still logic and can therefore have bugs.
