NAME
Module::EnforceLoad - Make sure your modules load their deps in preload
environments.
DESCRIPTION
Unit tests are good. Unit tests can also be slow. Unit tests run faster
if you preload all your modules and then fork for each test. This
scenario will fail to catch when you forget to load a dependancy as the
preload will satisfy it. This can lead to errors you find in production
instead of tests.
This module helps with the problem in the last paragraph. You load this
module FIRST then load your preloads, then call "enforce()". From that
point on the code will die if you use a sub defined in one of your
preloads, unless something uses "use" or "require" to try to load the
module after you call "enforce()".
SYNOPSIS
package My::Preloader;
use Module::EnforceLoad;
# Preloads
use Moose;
use Scalar::Util;
use Data::Dumper;
enforce();
do 'my_test.pl';
my_test.pl
# Will die, despite being preloaded
# (we use eval to turn it into a warning for this example)
eval { print Data::Dumper::Dumper('foo'); 1 } or warn $@;
require Data::Dumper;
# Now this will work fine.
print Data::Dumper::Dumper('foo');
HOW IT WORKS
This module replaces "CORE::GLOBAL::require" at which point anything
that is loaded via "use" or "require" will be added to a dependancy tree
structure. Once you run "enforce()" it will walk the symbol table and
replace all defined subs with wrapper that call the original. This will
also start recording a list of modules that get required AFTER
"enforce()". If you call any function without first loading the module
it was defined in, an exception is thrown. Because of the tree initially
built we can also track indirect loading.
