# [NAME](#NAME)

Test2::EventFacet::Plan - Facet for setting the plan

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

Events use this facet when they need to set the plan.

# [FIELDS](#FIELDS)

$string = $plan->{details}

$string = $plan->**details()**

Human readable explanation for the plan being set. This is normally not rendered by most formatters except when the "skip" field is also set.

$positive\_int = $plan->{count}

$positive\_int = $plan->**count()**

Set the number of expected assertions. This should usually be set to 0 when "skip" or "none" are also set.

$bool = $plan->{skip}

$bool = $plan->**skip()**

When true the entire test should be skipped. This is usually paired with an explanation in the "details" field, and a "control" facet that has "terminate" set to 0.

$bool = $plan->{none}

$bool = $plan->**none()**

This is mainly used by legacy Test::Builder tests which set the plan to "no plan", a construct that predates the much better done\_testing().

If you are using this in non-legacy code you may need to reconsider the course of your life, maybe a hermitage would suite you?
