./devel/p5-Test-Mock-Cmd, Mock system(), exec(), and qx() for testing

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.7, Package name: p5-Test-Mock-Cmd-0.7, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Mock system(), exec(), qx() (AKA `` and readpipe()) with your own
functions in order to test code that may call them.

Some uses might be:

- avoid actually running the system command, just pretend we did
(simulate [un]expected output, return values, etc)
- test various return value handling (e.g. the system command core dumps
how does the object handle that)
- test that the arguments that will be passed to a system command
are correct
- simulate that really hard to reproduce low level edge case to make
sure your code works correctly on affected systems
- etc etc
