I've been learning Moose and I came across unexpected behavior: method modifiers (such as 'after') do not seem to work with attribute triggers. This is an issue because I want a subclass to extend a method that is defined as a trigger in the parent. The issue and one workaround is shown below. use strict;use warnings; package Foo; use Moose; has 'attrib' => ( is => 'rw', trigger => \&attrib_changed );has 'workaround' => ( is => 'rw', trigger => \&workaround_changed ); sub attrib_changed{ print " in attrib_changed\n"; # called} after 'attrib_changed' => sub{ print " in 'after' attrib_changed\n"; # not called}; sub workaround_changed{ my ( $self ) = @_; print " in workaround_changed\n"; # called $self->not_a_trigger;} after 'workaround_changed' => sub{ print " in 'after' workaround_changed\n"; # not called}; sub not_a_trigger{ print " in not_a_trigger\n"; # called} after 'not_a_trigger' => sub{ print " in 'after' not_a_trigger\n"; # called}; my $foo = Foo->new; print "Calling attrib( 1 ):\n";$foo->attrib( 1 ); print "Calling workaround( 1 ):\n";$foo->workaround( 1 ); Output: Calling attrib( 1 ): in attrib_changedCalling workaround( 1 ): in workaround_changed in not_a_trigger in 'after' not_a_trigger I could not find anything in the Moose docs or online that documents this behavior as a known limitation. I'd be surprised if I were the first one to notice it, so it makes me wonder whether I am trying to do something that is best done some other way. Thoughts?Thread Next
