2005-07-31 Matthew Astley <mca1001@users.sourceforge.net>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm (is_numeric): change the test to match only lone numbers. fix SF bug#1014540

        *** NB. this causes assert_equals to switch from assert_num_equals
        to assert_str_equals in some cases

        * t/tlib/AssertTest.pm (test_numericness, test_assert_equals):
        tests for new is_numeric

        -- other changes Adam made since REL_0_24, but aren't mentioned
        already.  I list them partly so I know where my towel is:

        * AUTHORS: Adam became maintainer

        * doc/TODO: updated

        * lib/Test/Unit/Decorator.pm: some minor change I've not investigated

        * lib/Test/Unit/Procedural.pm:
        fix bug spotted by Matthias Ferber (and Ken) in run() (which is
        usually overridden) [SF bug#760491, RT bug#3058]

        * lib/Test/Unit/Runner.pm: improve filtering, POD

        * lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: POD for filtering

        * t/tlib/RunnerTest.pm: new test for T:U:TestRunner, just tests
        filtering; uses the new t/tlib/FilteredSuite.pm

2002-06-20 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: document new filtering via coderefs
• MANIFEST, lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, t/tlib/AllTests.pm, t/tlib/FilteredSuite.pm:
  • remove ALL filtering hack, and instead allow filtering via coderefs:

            sub filter {{
              foo_tests  => sub {
                my $method = shift;
                return $method =~ /foo/;
              },
              everything => sub { 1 },

              # method lists still work
              another_token => [ qw/test_method1 test_method2/ ],
            }}

        - add tests for filtering mechanism

2002-06-14 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit.pm: version 0.24
• ChangeLog: new stuff for 0.24
• MANIFEST: 'make manifest' revealed more missing files, though none of them crucial
• AUTHORS: change Adam's email address
• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: Don't die if the run was unsuccessful; we might want to reuse the runner for another run.
• MANIFEST: argh! 0.23's MANIFEST was missing several crucial files.

2002-06-13 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Runner/Terminal.pm: forgot to update the pod
• .cvsignore: ignore tarballs
• doc/release-checklist: typo
• README, doc/release-checklist: cut down on the poor maintainer's workload
• Changes: deprecate this file
• ChangeLog: new stuff for 0.23
• lib/Test/Unit.pm: version 0.23
• doc/TODO: mention that Attribute::Handlers probably won't work
• t/tlib/TestTest.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Error.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Result.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: Rework the exception handling mechanisms of run_protected/run_bare so that run-time exceptions in set_up or tear_down no longer halt the framework, and neither do user-defined exceptions thrown in the test methods themselves (where the framework only used to handle straight-forward exceptions where $@ was a scalar, I think). Some assumptions about Error.pm internals have had to be made, unfortunately.
• lib/Test/Unit/Procedural.pm: remove spurious 'use' line

2002-06-12 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Debug.pm: allow debugging to a file with debug_to_file

2002-06-10 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Runner/Terminal.pm: use \e[4A\r instead of \e[4F, which not all terminals support
• lib/Test/Unit/Runner/Terminal.pm: Ahem. Forgot to change package name.
• lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm: check that something is selected when the user clicks 'Show...'
• lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm: disable broken rerun button
• MANIFEST, lib/Test/Unit/Listener.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Runner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Runner/Terminal.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm:
  • new start_suite/end_suite events sent to listeners, to track where current test is in the suite hierarchy ($runner->suites_running)
  • new T::U::Runner::Terminal runner which uses terminal escape sequences to show which suites/tests are currently being run
  • result object now stored in the runner
• lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm: clean up of code style
• lib/Test/Unit/Listener.pm: pseudo-document the parameters for the listener interface

2002-05-23 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: (poorly) document @TESTS and the filtering mechanism
• lib/Test/Unit.pm: version 0.22
• ChangeLog: get this uptodate by merging auto-generated entries with existing ones
• lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: allow 'ALL' as a magic test name which matches all methods in this class, e.g.

package MyTest37;

use base qw(Test::Unit::TestCase);

...

        sub filter {{
          skip_thirty_seven => [ 'ALL' ],
          slow              => [ qw(testIam_slow testIam_slow_too) ],
        }}

        * lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm:
        assert_(str|num)(not)?equals now fail with undef parameters,
        to avoid tests passing by accident.  The user should either use
        assert_null/assert_not_null, or check for undef before the assertion.

2002-05-23 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: allow 'ALL' as a magic test name which matches all methods in this class, e.g.

2002-05-14 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: bit more debugging

2002-03-26 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit.pm: version 0.21
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm: avoid UNIVERSAL::isa, which is buggy with 5.6.0 (see perldelta)

2002-03-18 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• t/tlib/AssertTest.pm: update boolean assertion tests for new failure message
• doc/TODO: do_run should be public
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm: slightly nicer default assertion failure message

2002-03-04 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: avoid namespace clashes in TestCase objects (thanks to jonasbn for pointing this problem out)
• README: update the prerequisites

2002-02-20 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: reintroduce caveat about $self->assert($foo =~ /$bar/)

2002-02-12 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm: make $self->assert([1]); work

2002-02-05 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm: assert_deep_equals takes references 'A' and 'B', not 'got' and 'expected'

2002-02-04 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• t/tlib/AllTests.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm, t/tlib/ExceptionChecker.pm, t/tlib/TestObject.pm, t/tlib/WillDie.pm:
  • factor out exception checking into ExceptionChecker
  • move TestObject class into separate file
  • tests for test-case methods which die ( they pass but I am still getting funny results from my real-world test-cases )-:
• doc/TODO: @TESTS needs testing

2002-01-29 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Runner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm: factor create_test_result
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm:
  • new assert_deep_equals for comparing deep structures, mostly ripped out of Test::More
  • some tests weren't getting run because of identical hash keys when I should have been using arrays (doh!)

2002-01-23 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO: need to document @TESTS

2002-01-09 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: missed a rename from output() to annotations()

2002-01-08 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• MANIFEST, lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/CodeRef.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Exception.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm, t/assert.t, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm:
  • Fix breakage where coderef assertions were not failing. Coderef assertions are now expected to throw Test::Unit::Failures ($self->fail() is a convenient way of doing this; see updated docs).
  • New tests for assert().
  • New multi_assert() for using multiple argument sets with one assertion (plus tests).
  • New assert_raises() for asserting that a coderef raises a particular class of exception (plus tests).
• t/tlib/TestTest.pm: the famous scalar/regexp problem

2001-12-20 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm: whitespace

2001-12-19 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: missed a print -> annotate change in the pod
• t/tlib/AssertTest.pm: 3 more tests for ok()

2001-12-18 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm: fix problem with symbol tables containing symbol tables
• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: rename print() to annotate()

2001-12-11 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm:
  • Add new assert_matches() and assert_does_not_match() assertions, as requested by Matthias Ferber, and new tests for them of course.
  • Start testing for the correct messages in T::U::Failure objects (see check_exception()). In particular this tests that the optional MESSAGE args are processed correctly when reporting failures.
  • Improved behaviour of assert_equals() and assert_not_equals() with undefined parameters.
  • Added more stringent tests for assert_equals() and assert_not_equals(). Some of these are possibly debatable. I think the assert_equals() matrix should be retired in favour of the check_failures() style tests used to check assert_not_equals(), since the latter also check the failure message and originating file/line (added a #FIXME for this).
  • Fixed reversed got/expected message with $self->ok(sub { 2 + 2 }, 4); Spotted this as a bonus of the new check_exception(), yay.
• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, t/try_examples.t: autoflush TestRunner's output stream

2001-12-07 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: Don't need that \n either. Doh!
• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: don't need that \n either

2001-12-06 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: document print()

2001-12-05 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO, lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Result.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: can now call $self->print("debugging stuff") within test case methods and if the test fails or "errors" you get to see all the debugging accumulated from the above calls

2001-12-04 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO: ideas from Test::More
• doc/TODO: $Error::Depth bug fixed (I think)
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: We seem to have obtained an extra 2 stack frames somewhere along the line. This makes the new, more stringent exception checking tests in AssertTest.pm pass.
• t/tlib/AssertTest.pm:
  • Added hairiness to failure/error testing, so it now doesn't just check that the exception was raised, but also checks that its file() and line() methods point correctly to the source of the failed assertion.
  • Refactored duplicated code from check_failures() and check_errors() into check_exceptions()
• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: tiny cosmetic tweak
• TestLister.pl, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: simple but pretty script for listing suite structure rather than running it
• examples/fail_example.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Debug.pm: missed a few DEBUGs in fail_example.pm
• Makefile.PL, doc/TODO: require base.pm version 1, so that a warning is generated for buggy base.pms
• lib/Test/Unit.pm: link to AUTHORS file
• TestRunner.pl: example usage of debugging
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm: avoid warning
• AUTHORS: Kevin was listed twice

2001-12-03 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• AUTHORS: Added the list of Authors who've written code for PerlUnit. Almost certainly incomplete. Add your details please.

2001-12-03 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm: don't need that \n
• doc/TODO: fixed
• lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Result.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Setup.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm, t/all_tests.t, t/tlib/ListenerTest.pm, MANIFEST, lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Debug.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Decorator.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm: All debugging now happens through a simple unified debugging class Test::Unit::Debug. This allows the user to turn debugging on/off dynamically, still on a per-package basis, but in a more convenient way. Also eliminates the problem with `make test' failing when DEBUG is "compiled in".
• doc/TODO: more jobs
• t/tlib/TestTest.pm: should have a name
• t/tlib/TestTest.pm: give inner classes names to avoid warnings in debugging

2001-11-30 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: this could come in handy when overriding list_tests()

2001-11-30 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit.pm: Added a feedback section to Test::Unit's pod, suggesting that users join perlunit-users and generally give us some feedback.

2001-11-29 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm: forgot to put this die() in
• MANIFEST, Makefile.PL, lib/Test/Unit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Procedural.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Warning.pm, t/tlib/AllTests.pm, t/tlib/InheritedSuite/OverrideNew.pm, t/tlib/InheritedSuite/OverrideNewName.pm, t/tlib/InheritedSuite/Simple.pm, t/tlib/InheritedSuite/TestNames.pm, t/tlib/SuiteTest.pm: some major improvements:
  • fixed the existing suite-building API, extended it, documented it fully, added/improved tests for it
  • reintroduced Test/Unit.pm, this time as a placeholder for $VERSION and some introductory pod containing pointers to the other modules
  • massive refactoring of Test::Unit::Loader
  • factored out Test::Unit::Suite::warning into Test::Unit::Warning, so it could be used elsewhere [I think he meant Test::Unit::TestSuite::warning -- mca, trying to prevent confusion]
  • fixed NoTestCaseClass test
• examples/fail_example.pm, t/try_examples.t: add a couple of comments now I know what this Decorator/Setup business is about
• t/try_examples.t: skip properly, don't just mark as TODO because they aren't TODO
• lib/Test/Unit/Decorator.pm: whitespace
• lib/Test/Unit/Setup.pm: don't want those prototypes
• lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm:
  • @ISA = ('Exporter') line was overriding use base lines
  • whitespace now matches conventions we decided on
• t/all_tests.t, t/assert.t, t/try_examples.t: these should be executable

2001-11-28 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• examples/README: get this up to date (ish)
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm:
  • get_package_name_from_file() never worked before (missing assignment to $filename).
  • remove dependency on FileHandle; this saves us a bit of code bloat if we're not using UnitHarness.
• t/try_examples.t: I think this is right for fail_example.pm, maybe ...
• examples/fail_example.pm: fail_example_testsuite_setup package needs to come second, otherwise Test::Unit::Loader::get_package_name_from_file returns the wrong suite.
• t/tlib/ActiveTestTest.pm, t/tlib/Success.pm:
  • refactoring: no point having more than one Success test case
  • it should really have at least one successful test in it
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm: fix the pod
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm: - more suitable variable names
  • don't need no strict 'refs'
  • cosmetics
• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: TestRunner can run test cases and test suites
• lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm: missing use
• doc/TODO: copyright stuff

2001-11-27 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: Allow test suites to be derived from Test::Unit::TestSuite! This turned out to be a relatively small change, and paves the way for vast improvements IMO. The old API should still work perfectly.
• MANIFEST, README, doc/TODO, examples/patch100132, examples/patch100132-1, examples/patch100132-2, lib/Test/Unit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Procedural.pm: renamed Test::Unit to Test::Unit::Procedural
• lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: get the versioning uptodate and CPAN-compliant
• TestRunner.pl, TkTestRunner.pl:there 's no reason why these shouldn't be executable

2001-11-16 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• doc/TODO: done that
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm, t/tlib/AllTests.pm, t/tlib/BadSuite/BadUse.pm, t/tlib/BadSuite/SyntaxError.pm, t/tlib/BadSuitesTest.pm:
  • might as well have some debugging in Loader if we have DEBUG
  • fix misleading error when a suite has a bad dependency
  • add tests for correct runner error message in above bad dependency case, and for a straightforward syntax error

2001-11-15 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• MANIFEST: Added doc/TODO

2001-11-15 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm: forgot to test DEBUG
• doc/TODO: done some work on runner state and filtering
• lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: only add tests via add_test()
• MANIFEST, lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Runner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm:
  • add new Runner base class which is an appropriate place for runner state common between all runners
  • very basic example of its usage: filter tokens - add something like this to your test case

            sub filter {{
              'slow'        => [ 'testaslow_one', 'test_another_slow_one' ],
              'really_slow' => [ 'test_wow_really_slow' ],
            }}

          then you can filter out slow tests via

            my $runner = new Test::Unit::TestRunner();
            $runner->filter(qw/slow really_slow/);
            $runner->start($class);

        * lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: - tidy up output a bit
        - use T::U::Loader for loading main suite

        * doc/TODO: done that

         t/all_tests.t, t/assert.t, t/tlib/ActiveTestTest.pm, t/tlib/AllTests.pm, t/tlib/AssertTest.pm, t/tlib/InheritedInheritedTestCase.pm, t/tlib/InheritedTestCase.pm, t/tlib/ListenerTest.pm, t/tlib/NoTestCaseClass.pm, t/tlib/NoTestCases.pm, t/tlib/OneTestCase.pm, t/tlib/OverrideTestCase.pm, t/tlib/Success.pm, t/tlib/SuiteTest.pm, t/tlib/TestAssertionCodeRef.pm, t/tlib/TestTest.pm, t/tlib/TornDown.pm, t/tlib/WasRun.pm, t/try_examples.t, MANIFEST, README, lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Tutorial.pm:
        move lib/Test/Unit/tests/.pm to t/tlib

        * doc/TODO, doc/consensus.txt: moved some stuff to TODO

         doc/consensus.txt:
        removing stuff about new assertion mechanism, this is now in HEAD
        and documented (Test::Unit::Assert)

        * doc/TODO, doc/consensus.txt: new doc/TODO

2001-11-14 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm: get optional messages working just like with assert_str_equals etc.

2001-11-13 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: - add support to ok() for optional comments
  • make ok() raise error not failure with bad args
  • fix assert_num_equals ditching optional comment
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm: making debugging more readable
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm:
  • fix typo which was hiding optional failure comment
  • making debugging more readable
• lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm: improve legibility of failures
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: - finish ok() wrapper, and add tests for it
  • some refactoring into new check_failures() in T/U/tests/AssertTest.pm

2001-11-12 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• ChangeLog: Added some stuff in the ChangeLog
• lib/Test/Unit/Result.pm: More doc fixes.
• lib/Test/Unit/Result.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: Doctored Test::Unit::Result again, so that if $test->run_bare does return false we actually add a failure instead of just leaving things up in the air (causes a problem with test harnesses if we don't)
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/tests/AssertTest.pm, ChangeLog: Tidied up the documentation in Test::Unit::Assert. Made sure that Test::Unit::TestCase::run_bare returns true if it doesn't throw an exception.

2001-09-07 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm (run_bare): Made sure it returns true if it doesn't throw an exception.
• lib/Test/Unit/tests/AssertTest.pm (test_fail_assert_not_equals): (test_success_assert_not_equals): Added tests for assert_not_equals.
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm Doc fixes. (assert_not_equals): Aadded the option to assert that things aren't equal. Also added appropriate (assert_(str|num)notequals) methods.

2001-09-02 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm (load): Improved the error message when a file can be found, but has a syntax error.
• lib/Test/Unit/TestFailure.pm: Removed.
• lib/Test/Unit/InnerClass.pm: Removed
• lib/Test/Unit/tests/AssertTest.pm Switched to a ResultsMatrix style of testing. Seems to work quite well...
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm (is_numeric): Got rid of warnings when the argument isn't numeric.
• t/all_tests.t:
• t/assert_test.t: Got rid of C<use lib '../lib'> since blib should be handling that.
• lib/Test/Unit/tests/TestTest.pm: Basic refactoring to use Class::Inner. (make_dummy_testcase): New helper method to make anonymous classes used in many of the tests.
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm (do_assertion): Switched to a slightly more sensible way of generating failure messages.
• lib/Test/Unit/Loader.pm (load): Changed the order in which we call C<try_test_suite> and C<try_test_case>.
• lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm: Removed dependency on Test::Unit::TestFailure.
• lib/Test/Unit/ExceptionError.pm (make_from_error_simple): Fixed things up slightly. This method maybe needs a leading underscore; Framework users should probably never see it...
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm (fail): Fixed things to put appropriate information into the thrown exception.
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: General refactoring work to get things working with the CPAN modules. (assert): Now, when an exception is generated, we try and get the appropriate caller information for setting -line and -file. Which is nice. (assert_equals): Fixed to use try/catch. Fixed a nasty bug with @_ getting silently emptied via try, so now, before we call try, we copy @ to @args and use that inside the closure, otherwise assertequals would always return true. (assert_str_equals,assert_num_equals,assert_null,assert_not_null): All now set $Error::Depth correctly.
• lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm (stringify): Tidied up stringification. (failed_test, thrown_exception): We now conform to the Test::Unit::TestFailure interface. Which means that we can get rid of Test::Unit::TestFailure itself. Which is nice.
• lib/Test/Unit.pm: Switched to using Devel::Symdump, Class::Inner and Error (assert): Moved to the try/catch style. (create_suite): Vaguely major refactoring. Switched to using Devel::Symdump and Class::Inner instead of the hand rolled symbol table manipulation and Test::Unit::InnerClass

2001-08-31 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

  1. Replace Test::Unit::InnerClass with Class::Inner
  2. Use Error.pm as the basis for exception handling and try/catch/... in place of eval.
  3. Use Devel::Symdump in place of hand rolled symbol table manipulation.
  4. Also includes an attempt at an 'assert_equals' that does the right thing in most cases. Tries to make reasonable guesses about numeric or string comparison, and can make use of object based equality things.
  5. Started to port jUnit tests that make sense in the context of PerlUnit.

        TODO: Need to get the procedural Test::Unit working. Or abandon it. However,
        it does do some stuff that Test::More and friends don't (no plan testing
        that actually produces a sensible 'test count')

        Write more tests. (Patches welcome)

        * t/assert.t:
        Calls the (too) simple set of tests for Test::Unit::Assert and friends.

        * t/assert.t: New file.

2001-08-30 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/InnerClass.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm: Redid Test::Unit::InnerClass to be more 'classlike'. (ie, calling Test::Unit::InnerClass::make_inner_class as a class method rather than as a direct subroutine call)

        Added Test::Unit::InnerClass::make_inner_class_with_coderefs
           Instead of taking an extension_text argument, takes a hash of coderefs
           and uses the keys as method names. Lets you do closure magic and the like
           when creating inner classes.

        Moved Test::Unit::InnerClass::make_inner_class to
        T::U::IC::make_inner_class_with_text. The make_inner_class subroutine now
        looks at $_[2] to determine whether to dispatch to the withtext version
        of the method or the withcoderefs version.

        Modified all the clients of Test::Unit::InnerClass to do proper Class based
        method dispatch.

        Modified Test::Unit::tests::TestTest to create some of its inner classes using
        the 'hash of coderefs' approach.

        Didn't do the documentation yet.

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm: add missing use

2001-03-06 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• doc/consensus.txt: Added some commentary
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm: Stopped Test::Unit::Assert::normalize_assert from dying when passed an object that can't 'do_assertion'. Instead treats it as the argument for Test::Unit::Assertion::Boolean::new.

(Came across this bug while testing some of my 'real' code).

This should also mean that, if you

package Foo;

            use overload
                bool => sub {...}

        Then assertion will continue to work properly.

        I've added a test for the simple case --
        T:U:t:TestTest::test_assert_with_non_assertion_object (essentially it's
        always going to be true in this instance), but not for the case where
        'bool' is overridden. I'll leave that as an exercise for the interested
        reader (plus I'm not sure how to make inner classes do overrides).

2001-03-06 Matthew Astley <mca-gdl@sourceforge.net>

• doc/consensus.txt: updates

2001-03-05 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm: Added some appropriate 'require's to these class files.
• Makefile.PL, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/CodeRef.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm: Added a bunch of documentation to T::U::Assertion and its subclasses.

        Removed the dependency on B::Deparse (I think. If someone who hasn't got
        this installed could test it...)

2001-03-05 Adam Spiers <perlunit@adamspiers.org>

• t/fail.t: Removing to avoid misguided fails on `make test'. Brian can resurrect it if he wants when he resurfaces.
• lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm: slightly more informative debug message in run()

2001-03-02 Piers Cawley <pdcawley@iterative-software.com>

• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm: Corrected a typo.
• lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/CodeRef.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm: New file.
• lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Boolean.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/CodeRef.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Assertion/Regexp.pm: Reified assertions.

Added assertion classes for coderefs, regular expressions and booleans.

        Now Test::Unit::Assert::assert takes the first argument, the assertion,
        creates an appropriate assertion object, and calls the object's do_assertion
        method.

        This seems to be a win.

        Check out T::U::tests::SuiteTest and the 'basic_assertion' method. This is
        possibly using a coderef for the sake of it, but it's one way of testing it
        hard...

        If you check out T::U::tests::TestTest you'll see a big win on the
        regexp front.

        Instead of

            $self->assert(scalar("foo" =~ /bar/), "Should not match");

        we have

            $self->assert(qr/bar/, "foo");

        (I haven't worked out how to name such an assertion, but the default
        error message for that would look like:
            'foo' did not match /(?-xism:bar)/

        which is pretty useful already)

        Taken advantage of this to tidy up the kind of error reporting that
        gets done. Which is nice. Still needs a pile of work done, but I think it's
        a start.

• TkTestRunner.pl, lib/Test/Unit/TestLoader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm: Many updates to GUI, now nearer to JUnit. Private stub exceptions/testcases used in UnitHarness to complete wrapping.

2000-02-23 Christian Lemburg <clemburg@sourceforge.net>

• MANIFEST, README, lib/Test/Unit/InnerClass.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm: fixed make_inner_class(), put it in own module, changed calls, added testcase

• lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm, t/fail.t: Lots of GUI bug fixes. Doh!
• lib/Test/Unit/TestLoader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm: Bugfixes in GUI and Loader now recognizes arbitrary .pm's
• lib/Test/Unit/TestLoader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm: Nicer looking but still incomplete GUI with all-new 'ArrayBar' widget. Support for '.t' tests added to TestLoader, so now GUI supports them again. Display of .t fails should be improved next... GUI shows progress correctly except when dealing with .t tests because 'plan()' method isnt implemented in TestRunner. Exception details dialog added. Currently the code to collect these details for .t tests (ie the 'verbose' output between ok/not ok messages) is not collected.

2000-02-22 Christian Lemburg <clemburg@sourceforge.net>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: fixed extraction of test suite to work across whole inheritance tree
• lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm: deleted useless sanity check method clone_listeners
• lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm: resolved overloading of constructor by introducing string constructor empty_new
• lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm: deleted sub extract_class_name and changed suite method test to can()

2000-02-22 Brian Ewins <ba22a@sourceforge.net>

• t/all_tests.t, lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestLoader.pm: Fleshed out HarnessUnit and implemented (sortof) tests for it. TestLoader was updated to recognize classes with a suite method.

2000-02-22 Christian Lemburg <clemburg@sourceforge.net>

• lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, README, test.pl:added TestSuite tests - 21 tests running OK

2000-02-21 Brian Ewins <ba22a@sourceforge.net>

• README, TkTestRunner.pl, lib/Test/SuiteWrapper.pm, lib/Test/Unit/HarnessUnit.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestListener.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestLoader.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TkTestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/UnitHarness.pm: Integrated TkTestRunner. Added partial TestLoader and fleshed out TestListener.

2000-02-21 Christian Lemburg <clemburg@sourceforge.net>

• lib/Test/Unit.pm: Deleted Unit.pm - it has been splitted to separate class files
• MANIFEST, README, TestRunner.pl, lib/Test/Unit/Assert.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Exception.pm, lib/Test/Unit/ExceptionError.pm, lib/Test/Unit/ExceptionFailure.pm, lib/Test/Unit/Test.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestCase.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestFailure.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestListener.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestResult.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestRunner.pm, lib/Test/Unit/TestSuite.pm, test.pl:Running first version, separate class files, CPAN style method names

2000-02-20 Brian Ewins <ba22a@sourceforge.net>

• Changes, MANIFEST, Makefile.PL, examples/tester.pl, examples/tester.png, lib/Test/SuiteWrapper.pm, lib/Test/Unit.pm, test.pl:A work area for the new 'Test::Unit'. This currently contains:
  • standard CPAN bundling
  • Christian's test.pl and new Unit.pm (as lib/Test/Unit.pm)
  • my own 'Test::SuiteWrapper.pm', which works on test::harness tests;
  • examples/tester.pl - a Tk gui for using SuiteWrapper.
  • examples/tester.png - a screenshot. oooh.
