NAME

    Test::Metrics::Any - assert that code produces metrics via Metrics::Any

SYNOPSIS

       use Test::More;
       use Test::Metrics::Any;
    
       use Module::Under::Test;
    
       is_metrics_from(
          sub { Module::Under::Test::do_a_thing for 1 .. 5 },
          {
             things_done => 5,
             time_taken => Test::Metrics::Any::positive,
          },
          'do_a_thing reported some metrics'
       );
    
       done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

    This test module helps write unit tests which assert that the code
    under test reports metrics via Metrics::Any.

    Loading this module automatically sets the Metrics::Any::Adapter type
    to Test.

FUNCTIONS

 is_metrics

       is_metrics( \%metrics, $name )

    Asserts that the current value of every metric named in the given hash
    reference is set to the value provided. Values can either be given as
    exact numbers, or by one of the match functions mentioned in
    "PREDICATES".

    Key names in the given hash should match the name format used by
    Metrics::Any::Adapter::Test. Name components are joined by underscores,
    and any label tags are appended with spaces, as name:value.

       {
          "a_basic_metric"               => 123,
          "a_labelled_metric label:here" => 456,
       }

    This function only checks the values of metrics actually mentioned in
    the hash given as its argument. It is not a failure for more metrics to
    have been reported by the code under test than are mentioned in the
    hash. This helps to ensure that new metrics added in code do not break
    existing tests that weren't set up to expect them.

 is_metrics_from

       is_metrics_from( $code, \%metrics, $name )

    Asserts the value of metrics reported by running the given piece of
    code.

    The metrics in the test adapter are cleared, then the code is invoked,
    then any metrics are checked in the same manner as "is_metrics".

PREDICATES

    As an alternative to expecting exact values for metrics, the following
    test functions can be provided instead to assert that the metric is
    behaving sensibly without needing to be an exact value. This could be
    useful for example when the exact number of bytes or timing measures
    can vary between test runs or platforms.

    These predicates are not exported but must be invoked fully-qualified.

 positive

       metric => Test::Metrics::Any::positive

    Asserts that the number is greater than zero. It must not be zero.

 at_least

       metric => Test::Metrics::Any::at_least( $n )

    Asserts that the number at least that given - it can be equal or
    greater.

 greater_than

       metric => Test::Metrics::Any::greater_than( $n )

    Asserts that the number is greater than that given - it must not be
    equal.
