Alien::Build::Plugin::Test::Mock(3)

NAME
Alien::Build::Plugin::Test::Mock - Mock plugin for testing

VERSION
version 1.83

SYNOPSIS
 use alienfile;
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   probe    => 'share',
   download => 1,
   extract  => 1,
   build    => 1,
   gather   => 1,
 );

DESCRIPTION
This plugin is used for testing Alien::Build plugins. Usually you only want to test one or two phases in an alienfile for your plugin, but you still have to have a fully formed alienfile that contains all required phases. This plugin lets you fill in the other phases with the appropriate hooks. This is usually better than using real plugins which may pull in additional dynamic requirements that you do not want to rely on at test time.

PROPERTIES

  probe
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   probe => $probe,
 );

Override the probe behavior by one of the following:

share
    For a "share" build.

system
    For a "system" build.

die To throw an exception in the probe hook. This will usually cause Alien::Build to try the next probe hook, if available, or to assume a "share" install.

  download
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   download => \%fs_spec,
 );

 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   download => 1,
 );

Mock out a download. The %fs_spec is a hash where the hash values are directories and the string values are files. This a spec like this:

 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   download => {
     'foo-1.00' => {
       'README.txt' => "something to read",
       'foo.c' => "#include <stdio.h>\n",
                  "int main() {\n",
                  "  printf(\"hello world\\n\");\n",
                  "}\n",
     }
   },
 );

Would generate two files in the directory 'foo-1.00', a "README.txt" and a C file named "foo.c". The default, if you provide a true non-hash value is to generate a single tarball with the name "foo-1.00.tar.gz".

  extract
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   extract => \%fs_spec,
 );

 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   extract => 1,
 );

Similar to "download" above, but for the "extract" phase.

  build
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   build => [ \%fs_spec_build, \%fs_spec_install ],
 );

 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   build => 1,
 );

  gather
 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   gather => \%runtime_prop,
 );

 plugin 'Test::Mock' => (
   gather => 1,
 );

This adds a gather hook (for both "share" and "system") that adds the given runtime properties, or if a true non-hash value is provided, some reasonable runtime properties for testing.
