Test::Able::Runner::Role::Meta::Class - metaclass role for test runners

version 1.001

This class provides the real guts for loading the test objects to run. However, you probably don't need to use it directly unless you are doing something fancy. See Test::Able::Runner for the usual cases.

This is set by the -base_package option sent to use_test_packages. A has_base_package predicate will tell you if this has been set.

This is set by the -test_packages option sent to use_test_packages. A has_test_packages predicate will tell you if this has been set.

This is set by teh -test_path option sent to use_test_packages.

This returns all the packages that will be loaded for testing. This does not filter classes out that have $NOT_A_TEST set.

This will search for test classes if base_package has been set or it return the contents of test_packages.

This method returns all the test objects that should be run by this runner. It works by doing the following:

1

It retrieves a list of potential test classes using test_classes.

2

It checks each package and throws away those with a package global variable named $NOT_A_TEST that has been set to a true value.

3

It instantiates the test classes and returns an arrayref of those test objects.

Calls build_test_objects and sets the test_objects accessor from Test::Able::Role::Meta::Class.
