NAME Test::Environment - Base module for loading Test::Environment::Plugin::* SYNOPSIS use Test::Environment qw{ PostgreSQL Dump }; # now we have 'psql', 'dump_with_name', ... functions in current namespace. # imported from Test::Environment::Plugin::PostreSQL and Test::Environment::Plugin::Dump eq_or_diff( [ psql( 'switches' => '--expanded', 'command' => 'SELECT * FROM Table LEFT JOIN OtherTable USING (other_id) ORDER BY other_id;', ) ], [ dump_with_name('test_01.dump') ], 'check db loading', ); DESCRIPTION This is the base module to load Test::Environment::Plugin::* modules. Also sets: $ENV{'RUNNING_ENVIRONMENT'} = 'testing'; The basic idea is to call all the plugins you will need in your testing script. The plugins will export their routines so you can use them in your tests easily. By the $ENV{'RUNNING_ENVIRONMENT'} you can announce that you are running in the testing mode to all the components of your tool. For example MyApp::Config module can decide uppon the %ENV from where to run the configuration file. (for testing look in t/conf/ instead of conf/ for ordinary usage) FUNCTIONS import() Will load choosen Test::Environment::Plugin::? plugins.
