Custom Plan Event
A plan is simply an Test2::Event::Plan event that gets sent to the current hub. You could always write
your own tool to set the plan.
use Test2::API qw/context/;
sub set_plan {
my $count = @_;
my $ctx = context();
$ctx->send_event('Plan', max => $count);
$ctx->release;
return $count;
}
Description
This tutorial covers the many ways of setting a plan.
Done Testing
The done_testing() function is provided by Test2::Tools::Basic. This function will automatically set the
plan to the number of tests that were run. This must be used at the very end of testing.
use Test2::Tools::Basic;
...
done_testing();

The skip_all() function is provided by Test2::Tools::Basic. This function will set the plan to 0, and
exit the test immediately. You may provide a skip reason that explains why the test should be skipped.

skip_all("This test will not run here") if ...;

Test Count
The plan() function is provided by Test2::Tools::Basic. This function lets you specify an exact number of
tests to run. This can be done at the start of testing, or at the end. This cannot be done partway
through testing.
use Test2::Tools::Basic;
plan(10); # 10 tests expected
