The attached patch updates languages/perl6/Test.pm. I realize that with the new testing discussion, this may be useless in the long run, but if anyone is hacking on Rakudo now, they might find it useful.
Features:
1. 'no_plan' is now supported:
plan *;
2. Diagnostics:
is 2,3;
# have: 2
# want: 3
3. Verbose diagnostics (diagnostic output even on passing tests):
verbose; # turns diagnostics on
verbose(0); # turns diagnostics off
4. Die on fail (halts tests at first failing test):
die_on_fail; # die after a test fails
die_on_fail(0); # do not die after a test fails
Apparently, due to recent changes in Parrot/Rakudo, the only special case I've
really needed is this:
sub render($value) {
return try { $value.isa(any<Iterator>) }
?? $value
!! $value.perl;
}
This pleases me.
Next I'd like to create a 'minimal' Test.pm which doesn't need advanced
features, but until the new testing discussion is settled, I'm unsure of
whether to proceed.
Cheers,
Ovid
