Test::DBIx::Class::Schema

VERSION

version 0.01015

SYNOPSIS

Create a test script that looks like this:

        #!/usr/bin/perl
        # vim: ts=8 sts=4 et sw=4 sr sta
        use strict;
        use warnings;

        # load the module that provides all of the common test functionality
        use Test::DBIx::Class::Schema;

        # create a new test object
        my $schematest = Test::DBIx::Class::Schema->new(
            {
                # required
                dsn       => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=mydb',
                namespace => 'MyDB::Schema',
                moniker   => 'SomeTable',
                # optional
                username  => 'some_user',
                password  => 'opensesame',
            }
        );

        # tell it what to test
        $schematest->methods(
            {
                columns => [
                    qw[
                        id
                        column1
                        column2
                        columnX
                        foo_id
                    ]
                ],

                relations => [
                    qw[
                        foo
                    ]
                ],

                custom => [
                    qw[
                        some_method
                    ]
                ],

                resultsets => [
                    qw[
                    ]
                ],
            }
        );

        # run the tests
        $schematest->run_tests();

Run the test script:

prove -l t/schematest/xx.mydb.t

done_testing
Under normal circumstances there is no need to add "done_testing" to your test script; it's automatically called at the end of "run_tests()" unless you are running tests under Test::Aggregate.

If you are running aggregated tests you will need to add

done_testing;

to your top-level script.

DESCRIPTION

It's really useful to be able to test and confirm that DBIC classes have and support a known set of methods.

Testing these one-by-one is more than tedious and likely to discourage you from writing the relevant test scripts.

As a lazy person myself I don't want to write numerous near-identical scripts.

Test::DBIx::Class::Schema takes the copy-and-paste out of DBIC schema class testing.
