NAME

Test::Color - Colored Test - output

SYNOPSIS

use Test;
use Test::Color;
use Test::Color sub { :ok("blue on_green"), :nok("255,0,0 on_255,255,255") };

DESCRIPTION

Test::Color uses Terminal::ANSIColor to color your test output. Simply add the use Color statement to your test script.

Setup

If you don't like the default colors, you can configure them by passing an anonymous sub to the use statement.

The sub must return a hash; keys representing the output category (one of ), and the values being color commands as in Terminal::ANSIColor.

You can tweak the behaviour even further by setting output handles of the Test module directly.

Test::output()         = Test::Color.new( :handle($SOME-HANDLE) );
Test::failure_output() = Test::Color.new( :handle($SOME-HANDLE) );
Test::todo_output()    = Test::Color.new( :handle($SOME-HANDLE) );

Caveat

This module works using escape sequences. This means that test suite runners will most likely trip over it. The module is mainly meant for the development phase, by helping to spot problematic tests in longish test outputs.
