Test2::Compare \- Test2 extension for writing deep comparison tools.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This library is the driving force behind deep comparison tools such as
\&\f(CW\*(C`Test2::Tools::Compare::is()\*(C'\fR and
\&\f(CW\*(C`Test2::Tools::ClassicCompare::is_deeply()\*(C'\fR.

.el .IP "\f(CW$delta\fR = compare($got, \f(CW$expect\fR, \e&convert)" 4
.IX Item "$delta = compare($got, $expect, &convert)"
This will compare the structures in \f(CW$got\fR with those in \f(CW$expect\fR, The
convert sub should convert vanilla structures inside \f(CW$expect\fR into checks.
If there are differences in the structures they will be reported back as an
Test2::Compare::Delta tree.
.ie n .IP "$build = \fIget_build()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$build\fR = \fIget_build()\fR" 4
.IX Item "$build = get_build()"
Get the current global build, if any.
.IP "push_build($build)" 4
.IX Item "push_build($build)"
Set the current global build.
.ie n .IP "$build = pop_build($build)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$build\fR = pop_build($build)" 4
.IX Item "$build = pop_build($build)"
Unset the current global build. This will throw an exception if the build
passed in is different from the current global.
.IP "build($class, sub { ... })" 4
.IX Item "build($class, sub { ... })"
Run the provided codeblock with a new instance of \f(CW$class\fR as the current
build. Returns the new build.
.ie n .IP "$check = convert($thing)" 4

.PD
This convert function is used by \f(CW\*(C`strict_convert()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`relaxed_convert()\*(C'\fR
under the hood. It can also be used as the basis for other convert functions.
.Sp
If you want to use it with a custom configuration you should wrap it in another
sub like so:
.Sp
.Vb 7
\& sub my_convert {
\& my $thing_to_convert = shift;
\& return convert(
\& $thing_to_convert,
\& { ... }
\& );
\& }
.Ve
.Sp
Or the short variant:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\& sub my_convert { convert($_[0], { ... }) }
.Ve
.Sp
There are several configuration options, here they are with the default setting
listed first:
.RS 4
.IP "implicit_end => 1" 4
.IX Item "implicit_end => 1"
This option toggles array/hash boundaries. If this is true then no extra hash
keys or array indexes will be allowed. This setting effects generated compare
objects as well as any passed in.
.IP "use_regex => 1" 4
.IX Item "use_regex => 1"
This option toggles regex matching. When true (default) regexes are converted
to checks such that values must match the regex. When false regexes will be
compared to see if they are identical regexes.
.IP "use_code => 0" 4
.IX Item "use_code => 0"
This option toggles code matching. When false (default) coderefs in structures
must be the same coderef as specified. When true coderefs will be run to verify
the value being checked.

.RS 4
.RE
.ie n .IP "$check = strict_convert($thing)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$check\fR = strict_convert($thing)" 4
.IX Item "$check = strict_convert($thing)"
Convert \f(CW$thing\fR to an Test2::Compare::* object. This will behave strictly
which means it uses these settings:
.RS 4
.IP "implicit_end => 1" 4
.IX Item "implicit_end => 1"
Array bounds will be checked when this object is used in a comparison. No
unexpected hash keys can be present.
.IP "use_code => 0" 4
.IX Item "use_code => 0"
Sub references will be compared as refs (\s-1IE\s0 are these sub refs the same ref?)
.IP "use_regex => 0" 4
.IX Item "use_regex => 0"
Regexes will be compared directly (\s-1IE\s0 are the regexes the same?)
.RE
.RS 4
.RE
.ie n .IP "$compare = relaxed_convert($thing)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$compare\fR = relaxed_convert($thing)" 4
.IX Item "$compare = relaxed_convert($thing)"
Convert \f(CW$thing\fR to an Test2::Compare::* object. This will be relaxed which
means it uses these settings:
.RS 4
.IP "implicit_end => 0" 4
.IX Item "implicit_end => 0"
Array bounds will not be checked when this object is used in a comparison.
Unexpected hash keys can be present.
.IP "use_code => 1" 4
.IX Item "use_code => 1"
Sub references will be run to verify a value.
.IP "use_regex => 1" 4
.IX Item "use_regex => 1"
Values will be checked against any regexes provided.

The work of a comparison tool is done by 3 entities:
.IP "\fIcompare()\fR" 4
.IX Item "compare()"
The \f(CW\*(C`compare()\*(C'\fR function takes the structure you got, the specification you
want to check against, and a \f(CW\*(C`\e&convert\*(C'\fR sub that will convert anything that
is not an instance of an Test2::Compare::Base subclass into one.
.Sp
This tool will use the \f(CW\*(C`\e&convert\*(C'\fR function on the specification, and then
produce an Test2::Compare::Delta structure that outlines all the ways the
structure you got deviates from the specification.
.IP "\e&convert" 4
.IX Item "&convert"
Converts anything that is not an instance of an Test2::Compare::Base
subclass, and turns it into one. The objects this produces are able to check
that a structure matches a specification.
.ie n .IP "$delta" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$delta\fR" 4
.IX Item "$delta"
An instance of Test2::Compare::Delta is ultimately returned. This object
represents all the ways in with the structure you got deviated from the
specification. The delta is a tree and may contain child deltas for nested
structures.
.Sp
The delta is capable of rendering itself as a table, use \f(CW\*(C`@lines =
$delta\->diag\*(C'\fR to get the table (lines in \f(CW@lines\fR will not be terminated
with \f(CW"\en"\fR).
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`convert()\*(C'\fR function provided by this package contains all the
specification behavior of \f(CW\*(C`like()\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`is()\*(C'\fR. It is intended to be wrapped
in a sub that passes in a configuration hash, which allows you to control the
behavior.
.PP
You are free to write your own \f(CW\*(C`$check = compare($thing)\*(C'\fR function, it just
needs to accept a single argument, and produce a single instance of an
Test2::Compare::Base subclass.
