[dancer-users] How do you test the internal methods of a plugin?

[Steve Dondley]

OK, got it now. Had to take things down to a lower level to create an app
object:

my $app = Dancer2::Core::App->new();
$app->with_plugins( 'Menu' );

$app->add_route(
  method => 'get',
  regexp => '/test',
  code => sub {return 'hi'},
);

Dancer2::Plugin::Menu::_do_stuff($app);

Maybe this is useful for an advent calendar entry?
