Pipeline::Segment::TesUser3Contributed Perl DocumePipeline::Segment::Tester(3)NAMEPipeline::Segment::Tester - a test wrapper for a Pipeline::Segment
SYNOPSIS
use Pipeline::Segment::Tester;
my $pst = Pipeline::Segment::Tester->new();
$pst->test( $segment, $objects, $in, $store );
DESCRIPTION
"Pipeline::Segment::Tester" exists to make testing segments easier.
Segments will often rely on having multiple other objects in a pipeline
store to be used properly, which makes testing a bit icky, as the store
and the pipeline need to be set up to handle testing of a segment.
Pipeline::Segment::Tester removes this requirement by creating the
pipeline and adding stuff to the store for you before, and making your
life easier.
METHODSnew()
The "new" method constructs a new Pipeline::Segment::Tester object
and returns it.
init()
The "init" method is called by the constructor and performs
construction time initialization on the object.
test( Pipeline::Segment, [ ARRAY ] )
The "test" method takes a segment object as its first argument,
which it will add to its pipeline before dispatch. It also takes
an infinite number of additional paramaters that will be added to
the store prior to dispatch of the pipeline.
Returns the production of the pipeline.
pipe( [ Pipeline ] )
The "pipe" method gets and sets the Pipeline object that
Pipeline::Segment::Tester will use.
