Test2::Todo(3)

NAME
Test2::Todo - TODO extension for Test2.

DESCRIPTION
This is an object that lets you create and manage TODO states for tests. This is an extension, not a plugin or a tool. This library can be used by plugins and tools to manage todo states.

If you simply want to write a todo test then you should look at the "todo" function provided by Test2::Tools::Basic.

SYNOPSIS
    use Test2::Todo;

    # Start the todo
    my $todo = Test2::Todo->new(reason => 'Fix later');

    # Will be considered todo, so suite still passes
    ok(0, "oops");

    # End the todo
    $todo->end;

    # TODO has ended, this test will actually fail.
    ok(0, "oops");

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

reason (required)
    The reason for the todo, this can be any defined value.

hub (optional)
    The hub to which the TODO state should be applied. If none is provided then the current global hub is used.

INSTANCE METHODS

$todo->end
    End the todo state.

CLASS METHODS

$count = Test2::Todo->hub_in_todo($hub)
    If the hub has any todo objects this will return the total number of them. If the hub has no todo objects it will return 0.

OTHER NOTES

  How it works
When an instance is created a filter sub is added to the Test2::Hub. This filter will set the "todo" and "diag_todo" attributes on all events as they come in. When the instance is destroyed, or end() is called, the filter is removed.

When a new hub is pushed (such as when a subtest is started) the new hub will inherit the filter, but it will only set "diag_todo", it will not set "todo" on events in child hubs.

  $todo->end is called at destruction
If your $todo object falls out of scope and gets garbage collected, the todo will end.

  Can I use multiple instances?
Yes. The most recently created one that is still active will win.
