This is an alpha release of Test::More available on CPAN and from its
repository.
http://github.com/schwern/test-more/tree/v0.89_01
subtest()
---------
Small change log, big feature. This version adds subtest(), implemented by
Ovid. This allows you to run a bunch of tests with their own plan.
use Test::More tests => 3;
pass("First test");
subtest 'An example subtest' => sub {
plan tests => 2;
pass("This is a subtest");
pass("So is this");
};
pass("Third test");
This would produce.
1..3
ok 1 - First test
1..2
ok 1 - This is a subtest
ok 2 - So is this
ok 2 - An example subtest
ok 3 - Third test
Current TAP parsers (Test::Harness) will ignore the indented "nested TAP", but
the result of the subtest() is itself encoded as a test ("ok 2" above) so
current TAP parsers can still see if the subtest passes or fails.
Future TAP parsers may parse nested TAP. Its not part of the standard (such
as there is) but it is also not in violation.
is_passing()
------------
As a side effect of this work, there is finally a way to tell if a test is
currently passing. Test::Builder->is_passing(). Its really "have I failed
yet", but if you don't think about it too hard is_passing() makes sense. The
name is up in the air. failed_yet() is one idea which returns the number of
tests which have failed (or violated the plan).
