Plack::Middleware::Test::StashWarnings - Test your application's warnings

       Plack::Middleware::Test::StashWarnings takes one optional argument, "verbose", which defaults to
       $ENV{TEST_VERBOSE}.  If set to true, it will bubble warnings up to any pre-existing "__WARN__" handler.
       Turning this explicitly off may be useful if your tests load Test::NoWarnings and also use
       Test::WWW::Mechanize::PSGI for non-forking testing -- failure to do so would result in test failures even
       for caught warnings.

       Plack::Middleware::Test::StashWarnings is a Plack middleware component to record warnings generated by
       your application so that you can test them to make sure your application complains about the right
       things.

       The warnings generated by your application are available at a special URL ("/__test_warnings"), encoded
       with "nfreeze" in Storable. So using Test::WWW::Mechanize you can just "get" that URL and "thaw" in
       Storable its content.

       Plack::Middleware::Test::StashWarnings - Test your application's warnings

       Warnings are an important part of any application. Your web application should warn its operators when
       something is amiss.

       Almost as importantly, your web application should gracefully cope with bad input, the back button, and
       all other aspects of the user experience.

       Unfortunately, tests seldom cover what happens when things go poorly. Are you sure that your application
       correctly denies that action and logs the failure? Are you sure it will tomorrow?

       This module lets you retrieve the warnings that your forked server issues. That way you can test that
       your application continues to issue warnings when it makes sense. Catching the warnings also keeps your
       test output tidy. Finally, you'll be able to see (and be notified via failing tests) when your
       application issues new, unexpected warnings so you can fix them immediately.
