Just A Summary

tap tap… Is this thing on?

So, I recently noticed that Test::Class 0.33 got released, which means that Test::Class::Sugar no longer needs to depend on a development release, and I also noticed that it was embarrassingly easy to throw Test::Class::Sugar into an infinite loop by forgetting which way the >> goes when you want to specify the number of subtests in a test method.

So, I’ve done a quick fix of the infinite loop problem as well and uploaded version 0.3 to PAUSE, so now you can write your tests like:

testclass exercises ClassUnderTest {
    test creation of the class under test {
        lives_and {
            isa_ok ClassUnderTest->new, $test->subject;
        }
    }
    ...
}

without having to jump through the hoops of downloading a development version of Test::Class or worry about accidental infinite loops…

Next up, fix the syntax to either allow both << and >> as test count specifiers, or come up with a more memorable way of separating the count from the test name.

Update:

Shortly after I released 0.3, Joel Bernstein asked if I’d be interested in a topic branch to make Test::Class::Sugar work with perl 5.8.

“Of course!” I said.

One day later, there it was. Thank you to Joel and to his employers, NET-A-PORTER for sponsoring his work. So now, Test::Class::Sugar 0.4 is winging its way to CPAN and now I have no excuse for not using it at work.
