# Test2::EventFacet::Assert(3p)

Facet representing an assertion.

## NAME

Test2::EventFacet::Assert - Facet representing an assertion.

## DESCRIPTION

The assertion facet is provided by any event representing an assertion that was made.

## FIELDS

- $string = $assert-\>{details}

  - $string = $assert-\>**details()**

  Human readable description of the assertion.

- $bool = $assert-\>{pass}

  - $bool = $assert-\>**pass()**

  True if the assertion passed.

- $bool = $assert-\>{no\_debug}

  - $bool = $assert-\>**no\_debug()**

  Set this to true if you have provided custom diagnostics and do not want the defaults to be displayed.

- $int = $assert-\>{number}

  - $int = $assert-\>**number()**

  (Optional) assertion number. This may be omitted or ignored. This is usually only useful when parsing/processing TAP.

  **Note**: This is not set by the Test2 system, assertion number is not known until AFTER the assertion has been processed. This attribute is part of the spec only for harnesses.
