.SH NAME
Test2::Event::Generic \- Generic event type.
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is a generic event that lets you customize all fields in the event API.
This is useful if you have need for a custom event that does not make sense as
a published reusable event subclass.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1

\&
\&    sub send_custom_fail {

.SH METHODS
.IX Header "METHODS"
.ie n .IP $e\->facet_data($data) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->facet_data($data) 4
.IX Item "$e->facet_data($data)"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP "$data = $e\->facet_data" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$data\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->facet_data" 4
.IX Item "$data = $e->facet_data"
.PD
Get or set the facet data (see Test2::Event). If no facet_data is set then
\&\f(CW\*(C`Test2::Event\->facet_data\*(C'\fR will be called to produce facets from the other
data.
.ie n .IP $e\->callback($hub) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->callback($hub) 4
.IX Item "$e->callback($hub)"
Call the custom callback if one is set, otherwise this does nothing.
.ie n .IP "$e\->set_callback(sub { ... })" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$e\fR\->set_callback(sub { ... })" 4
.IX Item "$e->set_callback(sub { ... })"
Set the custom callback. The custom callback must be a coderef. The first
argument to your callback will be the event itself, the second will be the
Test2::Hub that is using the callback.
.ie n .IP "$bool = $e\->causes_fail" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->causes_fail" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $e->causes_fail"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $e\->set_causes_fail($bool) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_causes_fail($bool) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_causes_fail($bool)"
.PD
Get/Set the \f(CW\*(C`causes_fail\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to \f(CW0\fR.
.ie n .IP "$bool = $e\->diagnostics" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->diagnostics" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $e->diagnostics"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $e\->set_diagnostics($bool) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_diagnostics($bool) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_diagnostics($bool)"
.PD
Get/Set the \f(CW\*(C`diagnostics\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to \f(CW0\fR.
.ie n .IP "$bool_or_undef = $e\->global" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool_or_undef\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->global" 4
.IX Item "$bool_or_undef = $e->global"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP "@bool_or_empty = $e\->global" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW@bool_or_empty\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->global" 4
.IX Item "@bool_or_empty = $e->global"
.ie n .IP $e\->set_global($bool_or_undef) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_global($bool_or_undef) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_global($bool_or_undef)"
.PD
Get/Set the \f(CW\*(C`diagnostics\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to an empty list which is
undef in scalar context.
.ie n .IP "$bool = $e\->increments_count" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->increments_count" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $e->increments_count"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $e\->set_increments_count($bool) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_increments_count($bool) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_increments_count($bool)"
.PD
Get/Set the \f(CW\*(C`increments_count\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to \f(CW0\fR.
.ie n .IP "$bool = $e\->no_display" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->no_display" 4
.IX Item "$bool = $e->no_display"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $e\->set_no_display($bool) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_no_display($bool) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_no_display($bool)"
.PD
Get/Set the \f(CW\*(C`no_display\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to \f(CW0\fR.
.ie n .IP "@plan = $e\->sets_plan" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW@plan\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->sets_plan" 4
.IX Item "@plan = $e->sets_plan"
Get the plan if this event sets one. The plan is a list of up to 3 items:
\&\f(CW\*(C`($count, $directive, $reason)\*(C'\fR. \f(CW$count\fR must be defined, the others may be
undef, or may not exist at all.
.ie n .IP $e\->set_sets_plan(\e@plan) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_sets_plan(\e@plan) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_sets_plan(@plan)"
Set the plan. You must pass in an arrayref with up to 3 elements.
.ie n .IP "$summary = $e\->summary" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$summary\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->summary" 4
.IX Item "$summary = $e->summary"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP $e\->set_summary($summary_or_undef) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_summary($summary_or_undef) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_summary($summary_or_undef)"
.PD
Get/Set the summary. This will default to the event package
\&\f(CW\*(AqTest2::Event::Generic\*(Aq\fR. You can set it to any value. Setting this to
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will reset it to the default.
.ie n .IP "$int_or_undef = $e\->terminate" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$int_or_undef\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->terminate" 4
.IX Item "$int_or_undef = $e->terminate"
.PD 0
.ie n .IP "@int_or_empty = $e\->terminate" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW@int_or_empty\fR = \f(CW$e\fR\->terminate" 4
.IX Item "@int_or_empty = $e->terminate"
.ie n .IP $e\->set_terminate($int_or_undef) 4
.el .IP \f(CW$e\fR\->set_terminate($int_or_undef) 4
.IX Item "$e->set_terminate($int_or_undef)"
.PD
This will get/set the \f(CW\*(C`terminate\*(C'\fR attribute. This defaults to undef in scalar
context, or an empty list in list context. Setting this to undef will clear it
completely. This must be set to a positive integer (0 or larger).
