NAME

Test::DZil - tools for testing Dist::Zilla plugins

VERSION

version 6.024

DESCRIPTION

Test::DZil provides routines for writing tests for Dist::Zilla plugins.

PERL VERSION

This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.

FUNCTIONS

Builder

Minter

  my $tzil = Builder->from_config(...);

These return class names that subclass Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder or Dist::Zilla::Dist::Minter, respectively, with the Dist::Zilla::Tester behavior added.

is_filelist

  is_filelist( \@files_we_have, \@files_we_want, $desc );

This test assertion compares two arrayrefs of filenames, taking care of slash normalization and sorting. @files_we_have may also contain objects that do Dist::Zilla::Role::File.

is_yaml

  is_yaml( $yaml_string, $want_struct, $comment );

This test assertion deserializes the given YAML string and does a "cmp_deeply".

is_json

  is_json( $json_string, $want_struct, $comment );

This test assertion deserializes the given JSON string and does a "cmp_deeply".

dist_ini

  my $ini_text = dist_ini(\%root_config, @plugins);

This routine returns a string that could be used to populate a simple dist.ini file. The %root_config gives data for the "root" section of the configuration. To provide a line multiple times, provide an arrayref. For example, the root section could read:

  {
    name   => 'Dist-Sample',
    author => [
      'J. Smith <jsmith@example.com>',
      'Q. Smith <qsmith@example.com>',
    ],
  }

The root section is optional.

Plugins can be given in a few ways:

"PluginMoniker"
"[ "PluginMoniker" ]": These become "[PluginMoniker]"
"[ "PluginMoniker", "PluginName" ]": This becomes "[PluginMoniker / PluginName]"
"[ "PluginMoniker", { ... } ]"
"[ "PluginMoniker", "PluginName", { ... } ]": These use the given hashref as the parameters inside the section, with the same semantics as the root section.

simple_ini

This behaves exactly like "dist_ini", but it merges any given root config into a starter config, which means that you can often skip any explicit root config. The starter config may change slightly over time, but is something like this:

  {
    name     => 'DZT-Sample',
    abstract => 'Sample DZ Dist',
    version  => '0.001',
    author   => 'E. Xavier Ample <example@example.org>',
    license  => 'Perl_5',
    copyright_holder => 'E. Xavier Ample',
  }
