I'm not sure if I'm using Test::Exception right. Here's the gist of my original test, with the code in
eval pulled out and switched to use dies_ok():
unlink 'test.errors';
redirect_error( output_file => 'test.errors' ); # sets $redirected{err
+or_messages} to 1
dies_ok { lcroak "this is a sample error file" };
ok( -T 'test.errors',
"lcroak opens the error file specified by redirect_error()." );
my $text = `cat test.errors`;
like( $text , qr/this is a sample error file/,
"lcroak writes to the error file specified by redirect_error()." )
+;
unlink 'test.errors';
--and I get this:
# Failed test 'lcroak writes to the error file specified by redirect
+_error().'
t/lcroak....NOK 4# in t/lcroak.t at line 25.
# ''
# doesn't match '(?-xism:this is a sample error file)'
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 4.
I did try local $@, like so, but perhaps I'm doing it wrong:
{
local $@;
eval {
lcroak "this is a sample error file";
};
ok($@, "lcroak terminates");
}
That still redirect STDERR to
test.error, however.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
