Test2::Require::Module(3p)

Test2::Require::Module3p

Skip tests if certain packages are not installed, or insufficient versions.

Usage

    # The test will be skipped unless Some::Module is installed, any version.
    use Test2::Require::Module 'Some::Module';
    # The test will be skipped unless 'Other::Module' is installed and at
    # version '5.555' or greater.
    use Test2::Require::Module 'Other::Module' => '5.555';
    # We now need to use them directly, Test2::Require::Module does not import
    # them for us.
    use Some::Module;
    use Other::Module;

Overview

Sometimes you have tests that are nice to run, but depend on tools that may not be available. Instead of adding the tool as a dep, or making the test always skip, it is common to make the test run conditionally. This package helps make that possible.

This module is modeled after Test::Requires. The difference is that this module is based on Test2 directly, and does not go through Test::Builder. Another difference is that the packages you check for are not imported into your namespace for you. This is intentional.
