Testing on the Perl track

Run All Tests

There is a Perl script with the extension .t contained in the t/ directory, which will be used to testyour solution. You can run through the tests by using the command:

prove

Before you start the exercise, the output will likely look something like:

./t/hello-world.t .. 1/2
# Failed test 'Say Hi!'
# at exercises/hello-world/t/hello-world.t line 15.
# +---------+---------------+
# | GOT     | CHECK         |
# +---------+---------------+
# | <UNDEF> | Hello, World! |
# +---------+---------------+
exercises/hello-world/t/hello-world.t .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/2 subtests

Test Summary Report
-------------------
./t/hello-world.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 2 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  2
  Non-zero exit status: 1
Files=1, Tests=2,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr  0.00 sys +  0.18 cusr  0.02 csys =  0.23 CPU)
Result: FAIL

You will need to modify the module with the extension .pm, contained in the lib/ directory, and write a solution to pass the tests. Once the tests are passing, the output from the command above will likely look something like:

./t/hello-world.t .. ok
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=2,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.00 sys +  0.07 cusr  0.01 csys =  0.10 CPU)
Result: PASS

Documentation about the assertions used in the test files can be found in Test2::Manual::Testing::Introduction. You can find a more in-depth explanation of Test2 on perldoc.
