Hi,
I'm writing a module to help debug application. I have used it in PBS for a
while and I wanted to rewrite it "right" with tests and all.
===== 1 =====
The first problem I have is capturing the module output when it is loaded.
I tried:
my $capture ;
BEGIN
{
$capture = IO::Capture::Stdout->new();
$capture->start();
}
{
local $Plan = {'load without debugger, Debug::Mixin banner NOT shown' => 1} ;
$capture->stop();
my @all_lines = $capture->read;
is("@all_lines", "expected", "message") ;
}
without any success.
===== 2 =====
I will also have a bunch of tests that need to be run under the debugger. I
will use Devel::ebug as it is the only way to control the debugger. There are
tests in the ebug distribution that I might be able to copy but I would also
like to try this in the "standard" perl debugger.
has anyone experimented with something similar?
===== 3 =====
To get a 100% coverage I had to run this test:
dies_ok
{
Bum::Config::new () ;
} "invalid constructor" ;
How do you guys test this?
===== 4 =====
A propos coverage, I have a module (Text:::Vip) that fiddles quite a lot with
member subs, adding them dynamicaly. The more tests I added, the least
coverage I got!
Has anyone seen this before?
Cheers, Nadim.
