NAME
    Test::Applify - Testing Applify scripts

SYNOPSIS
      use Test::More;
      use Test::Applify;

      my $t = Test::Applify->new('./bin/app.pl');
      my $help = $t->help_ok;
      like $help, qr/basic/, 'help mentions basic mode';
      $t->documentation_ok;
      $t->version_ok('1.0.999');
      $t->is_option($_) for qw{mode input};
      $t->is_required_option($_) for qw{input};

      my $app1 = $t->app_instance(qw{-input strings.txt});
      is $app1->mode, 'basic', 'basic mode is default';

      my $app2 = $t->app_instance(qw{-mode expert -input strings.txt});
      is $app2->mode, 'expert', 'expert mode enabled';
      is $app2->input, 'strings.txt', 'reading strings.txt';

      use Test::Applify 'applify_ok';
      my $inlineapp = applify_ok("use Applify; app { print 'hello world!'; 0;};");
      my $t = Test::Applify->new($inlineapp);

DESCRIPTION
    Test::Applify is a test agent to be used with Test::More to test Applify
    scripts. To run your tests use prove.

      $ prove -l -v t

    Avoid testing the Applify code for correctness, it has its own test
    suite. Instead, test for consistency of option behaviour, defaults and
    requiredness, the script is compiled and that attributes and methods of
    the script behave with different inputs.

    The aim is to remove repetition of multiple blocks to retrieve instances
    and checks for success of "do".

      my $app = do 'bin/app.pl'; ## check $@ and return value
      {
        local @ARGV = qw{...};
        my $instance = $app->_script->app;
        # more tests.
      }

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
  applify_ok
      use Test::Applify 'applify_ok';
      my $inlineapp = applify_ok("use Applify; app { print 'Hello world!'; 0;};");
      my $t = Test::Applify->new($inlineapp);

      my $helloapp = applify_ok("use Applify; app { print 'Hello $_[1]!'; 0;};",
                                \@ARGV, 'hello app');
      my $t = Test::Applify->new($helloapp);

    Utility function that wraps "eval" in perlfunc and runs the same tests
    as "new".

    This function must be imported.

  applify_subcommands_ok
      use Test::Applify 'applify_subcommands_ok';
      my $subcmds = applify_subcommands_ok($code);
      foreach my $app(@$subcmds){
        Test::Applify->new($app)->help_ok
          ->documentation_ok
          ->version_ok('1')
          ->is_required_option('global_option')
      }

    Like "applify_ok", but creates each of the subcommands and return in an
    array reference.
