Test2::EventFacet::Info(3p)

NAME
Test2::EventFacet::Info - Facet for information a developer might care about.

DESCRIPTION
This facet represents messages intended for humans that will help them either understand a result, or diagnose a failure.

NOTES
This facet appears in a list instead of being a single item.

FIELDS

$string_or_structure = $info->{details}
$string_or_structure = $info->details()
    Human readable string or data structure, this is the information to display. Formatters are free to render the structures however they please. This may contain a blessed object.

    If the "table" attribute (see below) is set then a renderer may choose to display the table instead of the details.

$structure = $info->{table}
$structure = $info->table()
    If the data the "info" facet needs to convey can be represented as a table then the data may be placed in this attribute in a more raw form for better display. The data must also be represented in the "details" attribute for renderers which do not support rendering tables directly.

    The table structure:

        my %table = {
            header => [ 'column 1 header', 'column 2 header', ... ], # Optional

            rows => [
                ['row 1 column 1', 'row 1, column 2', ... ],
                ['row 2 column 1', 'row 2, column 2', ... ],
                ...
            ],

            # Allow the renderer to hide empty columns when true, Optional
            collapse => $BOOL,

            # List by name or number columns that should never be collapsed
            no_collapse => \@LIST,
        }

$short_string = $info->{tag}
$short_string = $info->tag()
    Short tag to categorize the info. This is usually 10 characters or less, formatters may truncate longer tags.

$bool = $info->{debug}
$bool = $info->debug()
    Set this to true if the message is critical, or explains a failure. This is info that should be displayed by formatters even in less-verbose modes.

    When false the information is not considered critical and may not be rendered in less-verbose modes.

$bool = $info->{important}
$bool = $info->important
    This should be set for non debug messages that are still important enough to show when a formatter is in quiet mode. A formatter should send these to STDOUT not STDERR, but should show them even in non-verbose mode.
