Test::Alien::Synthetic - A mock alien object for testing

version 2.80

use Test2::V0;
use Test::Alien;

my $alien = synthetic {
  cflags => '-I/foo/bar/include',
  libs   => '-L/foo/bar/lib -lbaz',
};

alien_ok $alien;

done_testing;

This class is used to model a synthetic Alien class that implements the minimum Alien::Base interface needed by Test::Alien.

It can be useful if you have a non-Alien::Base based Alien distribution that you need to test.

NOTE: The name of this class may move in the future, so do not refer to this class name directly. Instead create instances of this class using the Test::Alien#synthetic function.

String containing the compiler flags

String containing the static compiler flags

Here is a complete example using Alien::Libarchive which is a non-Alien::Base based Alien distribution.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Test2::V0;
use Test::Alien;
use Alien::Libarchive;

my $real = Alien::Libarchive->new;
my $alien = synthetic {
  cflags       => scalar $real->cflags,
  libs         => scalar $real->libs,
  dynamic_libs => [$real->dlls],
};

alien_ok $alien;

xs_ok do { local $/; <DATA> }, with_subtest {
  my($module) = @_;
  my $ptr = $module->archive_read_new;
  like $ptr, qr{^[0-9]+$};
  $module->archive_read_free($ptr);
};

ffi_ok { symbols => [qw( archive_read_new )] }, with_subtest {
  my($ffi) = @_;
  my $new  = $ffi->function(archive_read_new => [] => 'opaque');
  my $free = $ffi->function(archive_read_close => ['opaque'] => 'void');
  my $ptr = $new->();
  like $ptr, qr{^[0-9]+$};
  $free->($ptr);
};

done_testing;
