Test::YAML::Valid(3)

NAME
Test::YAML::Valid - Test for valid YAML

VERSION
Version 0.04

SYNOPSIS
This module lets you easily test the validity of YAML:

    use Test::More tests => 3;
    use Test::YAML::Valid;

    yaml_string_ok(YAML::Dump({foo => 'bar'}), 'YAML generates good YAML?');
    yaml_string_ok('this is not YAML, is it?', 'This one will fail');
    yaml_file_ok('/path/to/some/YAML', '/path/to/some/YAML is YAML');
    yaml_files_ok('/path/to/YAML/files/*', 'all YAML files are valid');

You can also test with YAML::Syck instead of YAML by passing "-Syck" in the import list:

    use Test::YAML::Valid qw(-Syck);
    yaml_string_ok(...); # uses YAML::Syck::Load instead of YAML::Load

It's up to you to make sure you have YAML::Syck if you specify the "-Syck" option, since it's an optional prerequisite to this module. If it's requested but not found, a warning will be issued and YAML will be used instead.

As of version 0.04, you can use any module you want in the same way; "-Tiny" for YAML::Tiny and "-XS" for YAML::XS.

FUNCTIONS

  yaml_string_ok($yaml, [$message])
Test will pass if $yaml contains valid YAML (according to YAML.pm) and fail otherwise. Returns the result of loading the YAML.

  yaml_file_ok($filename, [$message])
Test will pass if $filename is a valid YAML file (according to YAML.pm) and fail otherwise. Returns the result of loading the YAML.

  yaml_files_ok($file_glob_string, [$message])
Test will pass if all files matching the glob $file_glob_string contain valid YAML. If a file is not valid, the test will fail and no further files will be examined.

Returns a list of all loaded YAML;
