VERSION

This document describes Test::Effects::ONLY version 0.000001

SYNOPSIS

{
use Test::Effects::ONLY;
# Test::Effects defaults to only testing specified effects in this scope
{
no Test::Effects::ONLY;
# Test::Effects defaults to testing all effects in this scope
}
# Test::Effects still only testing specified effects here
}
# Test::Effects reverts to original behaviour here

DESCRIPTION

Using this module changes the default behaviour of Test::Effects's "effects_ok()" test.

Normally this test tests all side-effects, even those unspecified (unless explicitly told otherwise via the use of "ONLY()"). If this module is used in a code block, "effects_ok()" defaults to only running specified tests for the remainder of that block's lexical scope.

Note, however, that an explicit "ONLY => $boolean" option in any call to "<effects_ok()" overrides this lexical default.

INTERFACE

use Test::Effects::ONLY;

"effects_ok" defaults to only runnign specified test within the rest of the current lexical scope.

no Test::Effects::ONLY;

"effects_ok" defaults to running all tests (including unspecified ones) within the rest of the current lexical scope.

DIAGNOSTICS

None.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Test::Effects::ONLY requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

Requires Perl 5.14 (or better).

Does not require, but is meaningless without, the Test::Effects module.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.
