package mocked; use strict; use warnings; use base 'Exporter'; # load this so mocked libraries can export things use unmocked; =head1 NAME mocked - use mocked libraries in unit tests =head1 SYNOPSIS # use a fake LWP::Simple for testing from t/lib/LWP/Simple.pm use mocked 'LWP::Simple'; my $text = get($url); # use a fake WWW::Mechanize for testing from t/mock-libs/WWW/Mechanize.pm use mocked [qw(WWW::Mechanize t/mock-libs)]; =head1 DESCRIPTION Often during unit testing, you may find the need to use mocked libraries to test edge cases, or prevent unit tests from using slow or external code. This is where mocking libraries can help. When you mock a library, you are creating a fake one that will be used in place of the real one. The code can do as much or as little as is needed. Use mocked.pm as a safety measure (be sure you're actually using the mocked module), and as a way to document the tests for future maintainers. =cut our $VERSION = '0.09'; =head1 VARIABLES =head2 real_inc_paths The real @INC that we are over-ridding is stored here while we are loading the mocked library. =cut our $real_inc_paths; =head1 FUNCTIONS =head2 import With a package name, this function will ensure that the module you specify is loaded from t/lib. You can also pass an array reference containing the package name and a directory from which to load it from. =cut sub import { my $class = shift; my $module = shift; return unless $module; { no strict 'refs'; my $sym = $module . '::'; if( exists $INC{ convert_package_to_file($module) } || (keys %{$sym}) ){ die q{Attempting to mock an already loaded library}; } } my $mock_path = 't/lib'; if(ref($module) eq 'ARRAY'){ ($module, $mock_path) = @$module; } # Load the real inc paths the first time we're called. $real_inc_paths ||= \@INC; { local @INC = ($mock_path); eval "require $module"; } die $@ if $@; my $import = $module->can('import'); @_ = ($module, @_); goto &$import if $import; } sub convert_package_to_file { my $package = shift; (my $filename = $package) =~ s{::}{/}g; $filename .= q{.pm}; return $filename; } =head1 AUTHOR Luke Closs, C<< >> Scott McWhirter, C<< >> =head1 MAD CREDS TO Ingy döt net, for only.pm =head1 LICENSE This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut 1;
