DBICx::TestDatabase(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioDBICx::TestDatabase(3)NAMEDBICx::TestDatabase - create a temporary database from a
DBIx::Class::Schema
SYNOPSIS
Given a DBIx::Class::Schema at "MyApp::Schema", create a test database
like this:
use DBICx::TestDatabase;
my $schema = DBICx::TestDatabase->new('MyApp::Schema');
Then you can use $schema normally:
$schema->resultset('Blah')->create({ blah => '123' });
When your program exits, the temporary database will go away.
DESCRIPTION
This module creates a temporary SQLite database, deploys your DBIC
schema, and then connects to it. This lets you easily test your DBIC
schema. Since you have a fresh database for every test, you don't have
to worry about cleaning up after your tests, ordering of tests
affecting failure, etc.
METHODS
new($schema)
Loads $schema and returns a connection to it.
connect
Alias for new.
ENVIRONMENT
You can control the behavior of this module at runtime by setting
environment variables.
DBIC_KEEP_TEST
If this variable is true, then the test database will not be deleted at
"END" time. Instead, a message containing the paths of the test
databases will be printed.
This is good if you want to look at the database your test generated,
for debugging.
