( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

What about running the tests, then modifying the sub, then running again? Here's a quickly thrown together example (in this example I simply mock out the whole function) to see if this is more along the lines of what you're looking for:

package Package; { sub perform { return $_[0] + $_[1]; } } package main; { use Mock::Sub; use Test::More; tests(); my $m = Mock::Sub->new; my $changed = $m->mock('Package::perform'); $changed->return_value($_[0] - $_[1]); tests(); done_testing(); sub tests { is Package::perform(5, 5), 10, "5 + 5 = 10"; } }

Output:

ok 1 - 5 + 5 = 10 not ok 2 - 5 + 5 = 10 # Failed test '5 + 5 = 10' # at pack.pl line 24. # got: '0' # expected: '10' 1..2 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.

If this example is more along the lines you're after (modifying code on the fly), my Devel::Examine::Subs is designed to alter code within a file (so say you wanted to modify a single line in a single sub within a package, you could (then revert it back), and I could write a mock up example of what it may look like. But perhaps I'm way off here.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
