I've gone through the documentation and can't find a definitive answer to my query.
In a lot of my tests, the execution of a SKIP
block is conditional to the success of a prior test.
So, for example, this what I write:
ok( @results > $threshold , 'Threshold met' );
SKIP: {
skip 'due to insufficient results', 3
unless @results > $threshold;
# ...
}
If my test changes, I don't want to have to change two locations, so I'd like a DRY-er equivalent:
SKIP: {
skip 'due to insufficient results', 3
unless ok( @results > $threshold , 'Threshold met' );
# ...
}
My initial tests suggest that the two snippets are equivalent.
However, something in the documentation caught my eye:
Each
SKIP
block must have the labelSKIP
, orTest::More
can't work its magic.
My concern here is that the magic may spill over to the ok()
as it is now inside the block.
Yes. Why wouldn't it be?
