Re: Testing error handling that calls "die"

in reply to Testing error handling that calls "die"

Ovid's 3-part article on Test::Class at the Modern Perl website taught me the basics of testing exceptions:

     That should be pretty clear. Look at the new test now. Use the th
+rows_ok  
     test from Test::Exception to test the Carp::croak(). Using Test::
+Most  
     instead of Test::More makes this test function available without 
+explicitly
     using Test::Exception.

     sub full_name : Tests(no_plan) {
         my $test   = shift;
         my $person = $test->class->new;
         can_ok $person, 'full_name';
 
         throws_ok { $person->full_name }
             qr/^Both first and last names must be set/,
             '... and full_name() should croak() if the either name is
+ not set';

Don't forget the first arg to throws_ok is a code block or anon subroutine

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
