t::lib::TestBuilder.pm - Koha module to create test records
use t::lib::TestBuilder; my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new; # The following call creates a patron, linked to branch CPL. # Surname is provided, other columns are randomly generated. # Branch CPL is created if it does not exist. my $patron = $builder->build({ source => 'Borrower', value => { surname => 'Jansen', branchcode => 'CPL' }, });
This module automatically creates database records for you. If needed, records for foreign keys are created too. Values will be randomly generated if not passed to TestBuilder. Note that you should wrap these actions in a transaction yourself.
my $builder = t::lib::TestBuilder->new; Constructor - Returns the object TestBuilder
my $schema = $builder->schema; Getter - Returns the schema of DBIx::Class
$builder->delete({ source => $source, records => $patron, # OR: records => [ $patron, ... ], }); Delete individual records, created by builder. Returns the number of delete attempts, or undef.
$builder->build({ source => $source_name, value => $value }); Create a test record in the table, represented by $source_name. The name is required and must conform to the DBIx::Class schema. Values may be specified by the optional $value hashref. Will be randomized otherwise. If needed, TestBuilder creates linked records for foreign keys. Returns the values of the new record as a hashref, or undef if the record could not be created. Note that build also supports recursive hash references inside the value hash for foreign key columns, like: value => { column1 => 'some_value', fk_col2 => { columnA => 'another_value', } } The hash for fk_col2 here means: create a linked record with build where columnA has this value. In case of a composite FK the hashes are merged. Realize that passing primary key values to build may result in undef if a record with that primary key already exists.
Given a plural Koha::Object-derived class, it creates a random element, and returns the corresponding Koha::Object.
my $patron = $builder->build_object({ class => 'Koha::Patrons' [, value => { ... }] });
