In module Test§

See primary documentation in context for sub todo

multi sub todo($reason$count = 1)

Sometimes tests just aren't ready to be run, for instance a feature might not yet be implemented, in which case tests can be marked as todo. Or it could be the case that a given feature only works on a particular platform - in which case one would skip the test on other platforms.

Mark $count tests as TODO, giving a $reason as to why. By default only one test will be marked TODO.

sub my-custom-pi { 3 };
 
todo 'not yet precise enough';         # Mark the test as TODO. 
is my-custom-pi(), pi'my-custom-pi'# Run the test, but don't report 
                                       # failure in test harness. 

The result from the test code above will be something like:

not ok 1 - my-custom-pi # TODO not yet precise enough
# Failed test 'my-custom-pi'
# at test-todo.rakutest line 7
# expected: '3.14159265358979'
#      got: '3'

Note that if you todo a subtest, all of the failing tests inside of it will be automatically marked TODO as well and will not count towards your original TODO count.
