| Summary : Test::NoTty Perl module
|
Description :
Test your code that handles failure to open _/dev/tty_
On a *nix system the special file _/dev/tty_ always exists, and opening it
gives you a(nother) file handle attached to your controlling terminal. This
is useful if you want direct user input, such as entering passwords or
passphrases, even if \'STDIN\' or \'STDOUT\' are redirected.
But what happens if your code is running non-interactively? Such as
servers, cron jobs, or just CPAN testers? _/dev/tty_ still exists, but
opening it will fail. Your tests need to cover this case. But how do you
test your tests as you write them, when you\'re running them in a terminal
session?
That\'s the purpose of this module. It encapsulates the complex setup dance
with \'fork\', \'setsid\' _etc_, to locally drop the controlling terminal, so
that you can interactively run code to test those code paths.
