Quick'n dirty. Uses the fact, that Test::More::builder() is not overridden.
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::More;
#-- builder() does not exist in Test::More, just intercept call hierar
+chy...
sub Test::More::builder {
my $limit = $Test::More::BAILOUT_LIMIT;
my $tb = Test::Builder::Module::builder(@_);
my @tests = $tb->summary;
my $passed = grep { $_ } @tests;
my $failed = @tests - $passed;
if ($failed >= $limit) {
$tb->BAIL_OUT("Limit of $limit errors reached (passed=$passed, fai
+led=$failed)!");
}
return $tb;
}
#-- here, we set the limit
$Test::More::BAILOUT_LIMIT = 2; # or i.e. ... = $ENV{BAILOUT_LIMIT}
ok( 1, "okay");
is( 1, 2, "oops");
ok( 0, "test $_/3 will fail..." ) for (1..3);
done_testing;
Result:
ok 1 - okay
not ok 2 - oops
# Failed test 'oops'
# at ./tm.pl line 29.
# got: '1'
# expected: '2'
not ok 3 - test 1/3 will fail...
# Failed test 'test 1/3 will fail...'
# at ./tm.pl line 30.
Bail out! Limit of 2 errors reached (passed=1, failed=2)!
Can be done properly by deriving your own class, but you get the idea.
You need one more test than the limit, though. The interception happens before the next
test case is executed. Limit = N demands N+1 tests, but I guess that is acceptable...
Edit: This implements an individual per-test-file-limit. If you want the limit to encompass the whole
test session, you'll need to maintain the counter's persistency and life-cycle across
all sessions (i.e. using Storable).

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).
