DESCRIPTION

This section covers writing new tools, plugins, and other Test2 components.

TOOL TUTORIALS

FIRST TOOL

Test2::Manual::Tooling::FirstTool − Introduction to writing tools by cloning ok().

MOVING FROM Test::Builder

Test2::Manual::Tooling::TestBuilder − This section maps Test::Builder methods to Test2 concepts.

NESTING TOOLS

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Nesting − How to call other tools from your tool.

TOOLS WITH SUBTESTS

PLUGIN TUTORIALS

TAKING ACTION WHEN A NEW TOOL STARTS

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolStarts − How to add behaviors that occur when a tool starts work.

TAKING ACTION AFTER A TOOL IS DONE

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolCompletes − How to add behaviors that occur when a tool completes work.

TAKING ACTION AT THE END OF TESTING

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::TestingDone − How to add behaviors that occur when testing is complete (IE done_testing, or end of test).

TAKING ACTION JUST BEFORE EXIT

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::TestExit − How to safely add pre-exit behaviors.

WRITING A SIMPLE JSONL FORMATTER

Test2::Manual::Tooling::Formatter − How to write a custom formatter, in our case a JSONL formatter.

WHERE TO FIND HOOKS AND APIS

global API

Test2::API is the global API. This is primarily used by plugins that provide global behavior.

In hubs

Test2::Hub is the base class for all hubs. This is where hooks for manipulating events, or running things at the end of testing live.

SEE ALSO
