NAME

Test::Conch::Validation - Test Conch Validations

METHODS

test_validation

A function to test a Conch Validation using a collection of provided test cases.

This function performs the following tests:

• Test whether the validation builds.
• Tests whether the validations defines the required name, version, and description attributes.

The required arguments are the Conch Validation module as a string, keyword arguments specifying optional models available to the Validation, and a keyword argument specifying the cases for the test to use.

The available models are hardware_product, device_location, device_settings, and device. Their attributes are defined with a hashref, which will be constructed to the correct classes in the body of “test_validation”. For example:

test_validation(
    'Conch::Validation::TestValidation',
    hardware_product => {
        name => 'Product Name',
        vendor => 'Product Vendor',
        hardware_product_profile => {
            num_cpu => 2
        }
    },
    device_location => {
        rack_unit       => 2,
        rack => {
            rack_layouts => [
                { rack_unit_start => 1 },
                { rack_unit_start => 2 },
                { rack_unit_start => 3 },
            ],
        },
    },
    device_settings => {
        foo => 'bar'
    },
    device => {
        triton_setup => 1,
    },

    cases => [ ... ]
);

cases is a list of hashrefs defining each of the test cases. Each case specifies the input data and attributes representing the expected results. Each test case may raise an error (die) or may produce 0 or more validation results. A test case is specified with a hashref with the attributes:

• data

  A hashref of the input data provide to the Validation. An empty hashref will be provided by default.

• success_num

  The number of expected successful validation results from running the Validation with the provided data. Defaults to 0.

• failure_num

  The number of expected failing validation results from running the Validation with the provided data. Defaults to 0

• error_num

  The number of expected ‘error’ validation results from running the Validation with the provided data. Defaults to 0.

• description

  Optional description of the test case. Provides documentation and adds the description to test failure messages.

• debug

  Optional boolean flag to provide additional diagnostic information when running the case using “diag” in Test::More. This is helpful during development of test cases, but should be removed before committing.

Example:

test_validation(
    'Conch::Validation::TestValidation',
    cases => [
        {
            data        => { hello => 'world' },
            success_num => 3,
            failure_num => 3,
            description => 'Hello world test case',
            debug       => 1
        }
    ]
);
