I'm writing a module and want to exit without a backtrace if conditions
are not met.
So I can write:
exit note '$path directory does not exist' unless $path.IO ~~ :d;
Fine. But how do I test this? I thought dies-ok, but dies-ok wants an
exception.
test.t:
sub testnote {exit note 'this ends' }
dies-ok { testnote }, 'we died';
my $x = True;
ok $x, 'next test';
The exit is not trapped. The output I get from prove is:
# prove -ve perl6
t/1-test.t .. this ends
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
So in this sense 'exit note $message' is not a quiet equivalent of 'die
$message'
However `note exit` is an elegant construction. But how do I test for it?
Although Test::Output gives a way to test for stderr output (which note
produced), it can't be used simultaneously with an exit trap.

FWIW, that’s because the True returned by the “note” gets coerced to Int: True
-> 1

exit note "message";
seems to work well as a substitute. "note" outputs the message, and
exit sends the return code (1) to the OS, marking a failure.
