# Fennec::Collector(3pm)

Funnel results from child to parent

## NAME

Fennec::Collector - Funnel results from child to parent

## DESCRIPTION

The collector is responsible for 2 jobs: 1) In the parent process it is responsible for gathering all test results from the child processes. 2) In the child processes it is responsible for sending results to the parent process.

## METHODS SUBCLASSES MUST OVERRIDE

- $bool = ok( $bool, $description )

  Fennec sometimes needs to report the result of an internal check. These checks will pass a boolean true/false value and a description.

- diag( $msg )

  Fennec uses this to report internal diagnostics messages

- end\_pid

  Called just before a child process exits.

- collect

  Used by the parent process at an interval to get results from children and display them.

## METHODS SUBCLASSES MAY OVERRIDE

- new

  Builds the object from params, then calls init.

- init

  Called by new

- finish

  Called at the very end of `"done_testing()"` no tests should be reported after this.

## METHODS SUBCLASSES MUST BE AWARE OF

- test\_count

  Holds the test count so far.

- test\_failed

  Holds the number of tests failed so far.

- inc\_test\_count

  Used to add 1 to the number of tests.

- inc\_test\_failed

  Used to add 1 to the number of failed tests.
