Re: RFC: Another test module

An easy way to keep your number of tests up to date is using BEGIN blocks:

use Test::More;
use vars qw($n_tests);

use_ok 'Foo::bar';
BEGIN { $n_tests++ }

my $c = 10;
for (1..$c) {
   ok Foo::new->($_);
}
# BEGIN { $n_tests += $c } # oops, wrong. my $c not visible here
BEGIN { $n_tests += 10 }

# ... and so on
# at last:

BEGIN { plan tests => $n_tests }

Randomly moving logic into BEGIN blocks is problematic, and you accidentally demonstrated that there. That code will give a plan of 1 test when you probably wanted 11.	[reply]

Randomly moving logic into BEGIN blocks Well, its not random: I just set a variable, and nothing wrong with that, except... That code will give a plan of 1 test when you probably wanted 11. ...the my variable gotcha, where $c is not visible in the BEGIN block. Thanks, corrected.	[reply]

Which may be useful, but isn't the same thing as what this module is trying to do: To check if you've actually done something like that or just chickened out.	[reply]
