I have a method, let's call it "foo" defined in a Moo Role.

package 'MyRole'; use Moo::Role; sub foo { return 'blah'; }

In a consuming class, I have some behavior implemented in an "around" modifier:

package MyClass; use Moo; with 'MyRole'; around foo => sub { my ($self, $orig) = @_; if ($self->$orig eq 'baz') { return 'bak'; } return $self->$orig; }

I would like to test this behavior, but I can't figure out how to mock MyRole::foo. If I mock MyClass::foo, the around() modifier isn't called. How do I test this around() behavior?

Here's what I'm trying:

use MyClass; use Test::Most; use Test::MockModule; my $mock = Test::MockModule->new('MyRole'); $mock->mock('foo' => sub { return 'baz' }); my $obj = MyClass->new; # Does not work is $obj->foo, 'bak', 'Foo is what it oughtta be';
