Test2::Manual::Tooling - Manual page for tool authors.

DESCRIPTION

This section covers writing new tools, plugins, and other Test2 components.

TOOL TUTORIALS

FIRST TOOL

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::FirstTool manpage - Introduction to writing tools by cloning ok().

MOVING FROM Test::Builder

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::TestBuilder manpage - This section maps Test::Builder methods to Test2 concepts.

NESTING TOOLS

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Nesting manpage - How to call other tools from your tool.

TOOLS WITH SUBTESTS

TESTING YOUR TEST TOOLS

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Testing manpage - How to write tests for your test tools.

PLUGIN TUTORIALS

TAKING ACTION WHEN A NEW TOOL STARTS

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolStarts manpage - How to add behaviors that occur when a tool starts work.

TAKING ACTION AFTER A TOOL IS DONE

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::ToolCompletes manpage - How to add behaviors that occur when a tool completes work.

TAKING ACTION AT THE END OF TESTING

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::TestingDone manpage - How to add behaviors that occur when testing is complete (IE done_testing, or end of test).

TAKING ACTION JUST BEFORE EXIT

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Plugin::TestExit manpage - How to safely add pre-exit behaviors.

WRITING A SIMPLE JSONL FORMATTER

the Test2::Manual::Tooling::Formatter manpage - How to write a custom formatter, in our case a JSONL formatter.

WHERE TO FIND HOOKS AND APIS

global API

the Test2::API manpage is the global API. This is primarily used by plugins that provide global behavior.

In hubs

the Test2::Hub manpage is the base class for all hubs. This is where hooks for manipulating events, or running things at the end of testing live.

SEE ALSO

the Test2::Manual manpage - Primary index of the manual.
