# Test::Is(3pm)

Skip test in a declarative way, following the Lancaster Consensus

## NAME

Test::Is - Skip test in a declarative way, following the Lancaster Consensus

## VERSION

version 20140823.1

## SYNOPSIS

I want that this runs only on interactive environments:

```
    use Test::Is 'interactive';
```

This test is an extended test: it takes much time to run or may have special running conditions that may inconvenience a user that just want to install the module:

```
    use Test::Is 'extended';
```

Both:

```
    use Test::Is 'interactive', 'extended';
```

This test is only for perl 5.10+:

```
    use Test::Is 'perl v5.10';
    use feature 'say';
    ...
```

## DESCRIPTION

This module is a simple way of following the specifications of the environment \<https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md#environment-variables-for-testing-contexts\> variables available for Perl tests as defined as one of the "Lancaster Consensus \<https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/toolchain-site/blob/master/lancaster-consensus.md\>" at Perl QA Hackathon 2013. Those variables (`"NONINTERACTIVE_TESTING"`, `"EXTENDED_TESTING"`) define which tests should be skipped.

If the environment does not match what the author of the test expected, the complete test is skipped (in the same way as `"use Test::More skip_all =>` `..."`).

As an author, you can also expect that you will automatically benefit of later evolutions of this specification just by upgrading the module.

As a CPAN toolchain author (CPAN client, smoker...) you may want to ensure at runtime that the installed version of this module matches the environment you set yourself.
