Test::Device::SerialPort - Serial port mock object to be used for testing
use Test::Device::SerialPort; my $PortObj = Test::Device::SerialPort->new('/dev/ttyS0'); $PortObj->baudrate(19200); $PortObj->parity('none'); $PortObj->databits(8); $PortObj->stopbits(1); # Simulate read from port (can also read nothing) my($count, $data) = $PortObj->read(100); print "Read random data from serial [$data]\n"; # Simulate write to serial port $count = $PortObj->write("MY_MESSAGE\r"); print "Written $count chars to test port\n"; # ...
Nothing more. It's a test object that mimics the real Device::SerialPort thing. Used mainly for testing when I don't have an actual device to test.
Started as a really sketchy and cheap way to mock serial port objects in unit tests.
Thanks to the work Bill Birthisel has put into this distribution, Test::Device::SerialPort should now mimick a serial port fairly accurately.
Test::Device::SerialPort
The configuration file methods save and start have minimal support. Settings are not saved or restored although a two_line config file is created. restart is not supported yet. Nor are lockfiles nor "quiet mode". Tied filehandle methods are not supported yet either.
