Test2::Require \- Base class and documentation for skip\-unless type test
packages.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Test2::Require::* packages are packages you load to ensure your test file is
skipped unless a specific requirement is met. Modules in this namespace may
subclass Test2::Require if they wish, but it is not strictly necessary to do
so.

.PP
A subclass of Test2::Require simply needs to implement a \f(CWskip()\fR method.
This method will receive all import arguments. This method should return undef
if the test should run, and should return a reason for skipping if the test
should be skipped.
.SS STAND\-ALONE
.IX Subsection "STAND-ALONE"
If you do not wish to subclass Test2::Require then you should write an
\&\f(CWimport()\fR method:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&    package Test2::Require::Widget;
\&    use strict;
\&    use warnings;
\&
\&    use Test2::API qw/context/;
\&
\&    sub HAVE_WIDGETS { ... };
\&
\&    sub import {
\&        my $class = shift;
\&
\&        # Have widgets, should run.
\&        return if HAVE_WIDGETS();
\&
\&        # Use the context object to create the event
\&        my $ctx = context();
\&        $ctx\->plan(0, SKIP => "Skipped because there are no widgets");
\&        $ctx\->release;
\&    }
\&
