package Test::SubCalls; # git description: d4e5915 =pod =head1 NAME Test::SubCalls - Track the number of times subs are called =head1 VERSION version 1.10 =head1 SYNOPSIS use Test::SubCalls; # Start tracking calls to a named sub sub_track( 'Foo::foo' ); # Run some test code ... # Test that some sub deep in the codebase was called # a specific number of times. sub_calls( 'Foo::foo', 5 ); sub_calls( 'Foo::foo', 5, 'Use a custom test message' ); # Reset the counts for one or all subs sub_reset( 'Foo::foo' ); sub_reset_all(); =head1 DESCRIPTION There are a number of different situations (like testing caching code) where you want to want to do a number of tests, and then verify that some underlying subroutine deep within the code was called a specific number of times. This module provides a number of functions for doing testing in this way in association with your normal L (or similar) test scripts. =head1 FUNCTIONS In the nature of test modules, all functions are exported by default. =cut use 5.006; use strict; use File::Spec 0.80 (); use Test::More 0.42 (); use Hook::LexWrap 0.20 (); use Exporter (); use Test::Builder (); our $VERSION = '1.10'; use vars qw{@ISA @EXPORT}; BEGIN { @ISA = 'Exporter'; @EXPORT = qw{sub_track sub_calls sub_reset sub_reset_all}; } my $Test = Test::Builder->new; my %CALLS = (); ##################################################################### # Test::SubCalls Functions =pod =head2 sub_track $subname The C function creates a new call tracker for a named function. The sub to track must be provided by name, references to the function itself are insufficient. Returns true if added, or dies on error. =cut sub sub_track { # Check the sub name is valid my $subname = shift; SCOPE: { no strict 'refs'; unless ( defined *{"$subname"}{CODE} ) { die "Test::SubCalls::sub_track : The sub '$subname' does not exist"; } if ( defined $CALLS{$subname} ) { die "Test::SubCalls::sub_track : Cannot add duplicate tracker for '$subname'"; } } # Initialise the count $CALLS{$subname} = 0; # Lexwrap the subroutine Hook::LexWrap::wrap( $subname, pre => sub { $CALLS{$subname}++ }, ); 1; } =pod =head2 sub_calls $subname, $expected_calls [, $message ] The C function is the primary (and only) testing function provided by C. A single call will represent one test in your plan. It takes the subroutine name as originally provided to C, the expected number of times the subroutine should have been called, and an optional test message. If no message is provided, a default message will be provided for you. Test is ok if the number of times the sub has been called matches the expected number, or not ok if not. =cut sub sub_calls { # Check the sub name is valid my $subname = shift; unless ( defined $CALLS{$subname} ) { die "Test::SubCalls::sub_calls : Cannot test untracked sub '$subname'"; } # Check the count my $count = shift; unless ( $count =~ /^(?:0|[1-9]\d*)\z/s ) { die "Test::SubCalls::sub_calls : Expected count '$count' is not an integer"; } # Get the message, applying default if needed my $message = shift || "$subname was called $count times"; $Test->is_num( $CALLS{$subname}, $count, $message ); } =pod =head2 sub_reset $subname To prevent repeat users from having to take before and after counts when they start testing from after zero, the C function has been provided to reset a sub call counter to zero. Returns true or dies if the sub name is invalid or not currently tracked. =cut sub sub_reset { # Check the sub name is valid my $subname = shift; unless ( defined $CALLS{$subname} ) { die "Test::SubCalls::sub_reset : Cannot reset untracked sub '$subname'"; } $CALLS{$subname} = 0; 1; } =pod =head2 sub_reset_all Provided mainly as a convenience, the C function will reset all the counters currently defined. Returns true. =cut sub sub_reset_all { foreach my $subname ( keys %CALLS ) { $CALLS{$subname} = 0; } 1; } 1; =pod =head1 SUPPORT Bugs should be submitted via the CPAN bug tracker, located at L For other issues, or commercial enhancement or support, contact the author. =head1 AUTHOR Adam Kennedy Eadamk@cpan.orgE =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2005 - 2009 Adam Kennedy.
