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. |
