NAME

Test::Exit - Test that some code calls exit() without terminating testing

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::More tests => 4;
    use Test::Exit;
    
    exits_ok { exit 1; } "exiting exits"
    never_exits_ok { print "Hi!"; } "not exiting doesn't exit"
    exits_zero { exit 0; } "exited with success"
    exits_nonzero { exit 42; } "exited with failure"

DESCRIPTION

Test::Exit provides some simple tools for testing that code does or does not call exit(), while stopping code that does exit at the point of the exit(). Currently it does so by means of exceptions, so it will not function properly if the code under test calls exit() inside of an eval block or string.

The only criterion tested is that the supplied code does or does not call exit(). If the code throws an exception, the exception will be propagated and you will have to call it yourself. die()ing is not exiting for the purpose of these tests.

exits_ok

Tests that the supplied code calls exit() at some point.

exits_nonzero

Tests that the supplied code calls exit() with a nonzero value.

exits_zero

Tests that the supplied code calls exit() with a zero (successful) value.

never_exits_ok

Tests that the supplied code completes without calling exit().
