Test::Command - Test routines for external commands

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.11

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.11';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Test the exit status, signal, STDOUT or STDERR of an external command.

   use Test::Command tests => 11;

   ## testing exit status

   my $cmd = 'true';

   exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
   exit_cmp_ok($cmd, '<', 10);

   $cmd = 'false';

   exit_isnt_num($cmd, 0);

   ## testing terminating signal

   $cmd = 'true';

   signal_is_num($cmd, 0);

   ## testing STDOUT

   $cmd         = [qw/ echo out /];  ## run as "system @$cmd"
   my $file_exp = 'echo_stdout.exp';

   stdout_is_eq($cmd, "out\n");
   stdout_isnt_eq($cmd, "out");
   stdout_is_file($cmd, $file_exp);

   ## testing STDERR

   $cmd = 'echo err >&2';

   stderr_like($cmd, /err/);
   stderr_unlike($cmd, /rre/);
   stderr_cmp_ok($cmd, 'eq', "err\n");

   ## run-once-test-many-OO-style
   ## the first test lazily runs command
   ## the second test uses cached results

   my $echo_test = Test::Command->new( cmd => 'echo out' );

   $echo_test->exit_is_num(0);
   $echo_test->signal_is_num(0);
   $echo_test->stdout_is_eq("out\n");

   ## force a re-run of the command

   $echo_test->run;

   ## arbitrary results inspection

   is( $echo_test->exit_value, 0,         'echo exit' );
   is( $echo_test->signal_value, undef,   'echo signal' );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C intends to bridge the gap between the well tested functions and
objects you choose and their usage in your programs. By examining the exit
status, terminating signal, STDOUT and STDERR of your program you can determine
if it is behaving as expected.

This includes testing the various combinations and permutations of options and
arguments as well as the interactions between the various functions and objects
that make up your program.

The various test functions below can accept either a command string or an
array reference for the first argument. If the command is expressed as a
string it is passed to C as is. If the command is expressed as an
array reference it is dereferenced and passed to C as a list. See
'C' for how these may differ.

The final argument for the test functions, C<$name>, is optional. By default the
C<$name> is a concatenation of the test function name, the command string and
the expected value. This construction is generally sufficient for identifying a
failing test, but you may always specify your own C<$name> if desired.

Any of the test functions can be used as instance methods on a C
object. This is done by dropping the initial C<$cmd> argument and instead using
arrow notation.

All of the following C calls are equivalent.

   exit_is_num('true', 0);
   exit_is_num('true', 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
   exit_is_num(['true'], 0);
   exit_is_num(['true'], 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');

   my $cmd = Test::Command->new( cmd => 'true' );

   exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
   exit_is_num($cmd, 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
   $cmd->exit_is_num(0);
   $cmd->exit_is_num(0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');

   $cmd = Test::Command->new( cmd => ['true'] );

   exit_is_num($cmd, 0);
   exit_is_num($cmd, 0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');
   $cmd->exit_is_num(0);
   $cmd->exit_is_num(0, 'exit_is_num: true, 0');

=head1 EXPORT

All of the test functions mentioned below are exported by default.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

   my $test_cmd_obj = Test::Command->new( cmd => $cmd )

This constructor creates and returns a C object. Use this to test
multiple aspects of a single command execution while avoiding repeatedly running
commands which are slow or resource intensive.

The C parameter can accept either a string or an array reference for its
value. The value is dereferenced if necessary and passed directly to the
C builtin.

=cut

sub new
   {
   my ($class, @args) = @_;

   my $self = bless { @args }, $class;

   return $self;

   }

=head2 run

   $test_cmd_obj->run;

This instance method forces the execution of the command specified by the
invocant.

You only need to call this when you wish to re-run a command since the first
test method invoked will lazily execute the command if necessary. However, if
the state of your inputs has changed and you wish to re-run the command, you may
do so by invoking this method at any point between your tests.

   {
   my ($self) = @_;

=head2 Testing STDERR

Except where specified, the test routines below treat STDERR as a single slurped
string.

=head3 stderr_value

   stderr_value($cmd)

Return the STDERR of the command. Useful for performing arbitrary tests
not covered by this module.

=cut

sub stderr_value
   {
   my ($cmd) = @_;

   my $result      = _get_result($cmd);
   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   return $stderr_text;
   }

=head3 stderr_file

   stderr_file($cmd)

Return the file name containing the STDERR of the command. Useful for
performing arbitrary tests not covered by this module.

=cut

sub stderr_file
   {
   my ($cmd) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   return $result->{'stderr_file'};
   }

=head3 stderr_is_eq

   stderr_is_eq($cmd, $exp_string, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is equal (compared using C) to the expected
string, then this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_is_eq
   {
   my ($cmd, $exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->is_eq($stderr_text, $exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_isnt_eq

   stderr_isnt_eq($cmd, $unexp_string, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is B equal (compared using C) to the
given string, this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_isnt_eq
   {
   my ($cmd, $not_exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->isnt_eq($stderr_text, $not_exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_is_num

   stderr_is_num($cmd, $exp_num, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is equal (compared using C<==>) to the expected
number, then this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_is_num
   {
   my ($cmd, $exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->is_num($stderr_text, $exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_isnt_num

   stderr_isnt_num($cmd, $unexp_num, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is B equal (compared using C<==>) to the
given number, this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_isnt_num
   {
   my ($cmd, $not_exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->isnt_num($stderr_text, $not_exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_like

   stderr_like($cmd, $exp_regex, $name)

If the STDERR of the command matches the expected regular expression,
this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_like
   {
   my ($cmd, $exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->like($stderr_text, $exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_unlike

   stderr_unlike($cmd, $unexp_regex, $name)

If the STDERR of the command does B match the given regular
expression, this passes. Otherwise it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_unlike
   {
   my ($cmd, $exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->unlike($stderr_text, $exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_cmp_ok

   stderr_cmp_ok($cmd, $op, $operand, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is compared with the given operand using
the given operator, and that operation returns true, this passes. Otherwise
it fails.

=cut

sub stderr_cmp_ok
   {
   my ($cmd, $op, $exp, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my $stderr_text = _slurp($result->{'stderr_file'});

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   return __PACKAGE__->builder->cmp_ok($stderr_text, $op, $exp, $name);
   }

=head3 stderr_is_file

   stderr_is_file($cmd, $exp_file, $name)

If the STDERR of the command is equal (compared using C) to the contents of
the given file, then this passes. Otherwise it fails. Note that this comparison
is performed line by line, rather than slurping the entire file.

=cut

sub stderr_is_file
   {
   my ($cmd, $exp_file, $name) = @_;

   my $result = _get_result($cmd);

   my ($ok, $diff_start, $got_line, $exp_line, $col_mark) =
      _compare_files($result->{'stderr_file'}, $exp_file);

   $name = _build_name($name, @_);

   my $is_ok = __PACKAGE__->builder->ok($ok, $name);

   if (! $is_ok)
      {
      chomp( $got_line, $exp_line );
      __PACKAGE__->builder->diag(<
STDERR differs from $exp_file starting at line $diff_start.
got: $got_line
exp: $exp_line
     $col_mark

      }

   return $is_ok;

=item * create a tool that produces test scripts given a list of commands to run

=item * optionally save the temp files with STDOUT and STDERR for user debugging

=item * if user defines all options and sample arguments to basic command

=over 3

=item * create tool to enumerate all possible means of calling program

=item * allow testing with randomized/permuted/collapsed opts and args
