NAME Test::Stream::Plugin::SpecDeclare - Syntax sugar for Test::Stream::Plugin::Spec. DESCRIPTION This plugin provides keywords for all the functions exported by Test::Stream::Plugin::Spec. These keywords give the functions better syntax so that they work more like the "sub" keyword. SYNOPSIS use Test::Stream qw/-V1 Spec SpecDeclare/; # Using syntax sugar tests sweet { ok(1, "pass"); } # No sugar tests bland => sub { ok(1, "pass"); }; # Using syntax sugar tests sweeter(todo => 'fixme') { ok(0, "fail"); } # No sugar tests blander => {todo => 'fixme'}, sub { ok(0, "fail"); }; # Using syntax sugar tests 'sweetest yet'(skip => 'broken') { die "broken"; } # No sugar tests 'blandest yet' => {skip => 'broken'}, sub { die "broken"; }; Syntax like the 'sub' keyword tests NAME { ... } Supports meta-attributes tests NAME(...) { ... } Can use quotes for a complex name tests "complex name" { ... } tests 'complex name' { ... } Final semicolon is added for you No need to add it yourself, just like the 'sub' keyword. Does not break the old syntax These all still work: tests foo => sub { ... }; tests foo => {...}, sub { ... }; tests "foo", {...}, sub { ... }; tests 'foo', {...}, sub { ... }; KEYWORDS The following keywords are supported, the magic will only be added for the functions if they have been imported into your package. describe cases tests it case before_all after_all around_all before_case after_case around_case before_each after_each around_each MAINTAINERS Chad Granum AUTHORS Chad Granum COPYRIGHT Copyright 2015 Chad Granum .
