NAME Fuckin::Lazy - Lazy way to produce test structures (Or a very bad idea) WARNING Warning! Using the module would fall squarely into BAD PRACTICE. You should predict what structures your code produces and put them into the test yourself. Simply dumping a result and testing against it is a bad idea. The only exception to this policy is when writing tests to make sure the output does not change from what it currently is. SYNOPSIS use Test::More; use Fuckin::Lazy qw/LAZY/; my $foo = { a => 1, b => 2 }; is_deeply($foo, Fuckin'Lazy($foo), "Foo"); is_deeply( $foo, LAZY($foo), "Foo" ); is_deeply($foo, LAZY($foo), "Foo"); done_testing; The first time you run the above test it will alter the test file itself to produce this: use Test::More; use Fuckin::Lazy qw/LAZY/; my $foo = { a => 1, b => 2 }; is_deeply($foo, {"a" => 1,"b" => 2}, "Foo"); is_deeply( $foo, {"a" => 1,"b" => 2}, "Foo" ); is_deeply($foo, {"a" => 1,"b" => 2}, "Foo"); done_testing; DESCRIPTION A poor implementation of a bad idea! EXPORTS LAZY($var) This function will turn the argument into the code for a perl data structure and replace itself with the code. This is done when the file is run. The data structure passed in is returned unchanged allowing the test to pass. MAGIC Fuckin'Lazy($var) Same as the LAZY() export, except it is the Fuckin::Lazy function, not exported. The "'" can be used in place of "::" due to legacy perl support. IDEA Thanks to Joshua Keroes for proposing the idea.
