NAME Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Inline - Create test files from inline tests in POD sections VERSION version 0.011004 SYNOPSIS In your dist.ini: [Test::Inline] In your module: # My/AddressRange.pm =begin testing use Test::Exception; dies_ok { My::AddressRange->list_from_range('10.2.3.A', '10.2.3.5') } "list_from_range() complains about invalid address"; =end testing =cut sub list_from_range { # ... } This will result in a file t/inline-tests/my_addressrange.t in your distribution. DESCRIPTION This plugin integrates Test::Inline into Dist::Zilla. It scans all non-binary files in the lib path of your distribution for inline tests in POD sections that are embedded between the keywords =begin testing ... =end testing These tests are then exported into t/inline-tests/*.t files when Dist::Zilla builds your module. Multiple of test sections may be specified within one file. Please note that this plugin (in contrast to pure Test::Inline) can also handle Moops-like class and role definitions. Files to be scanned for inline tests Only files already gathered by previous file gatherer plugins are scanned. In other words: tests will not be extracted for files which have been excluded. Example: [GatherDir] exclude_match = Hidden\.pm [Test::Inline] This will lead to Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Inline ignoring Hidden.pm. METHODS gather_files Required by role Dist::Zilla::Role::FileGatherer. Searches for inline test code in POD sections using Test::Inline, creates in-memory test files and passes them to Dist::Zilla. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The code of this Dist::Zilla file gatherer plugin is based on https://github.com/moose/moose/blob/master/inc/ExtractInlineTests.pm. * Dave Rolsky , who basically wrote most of this but left the honor of making a plugin out of it to me ;-) AUTHOR Jens Berthold COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2015 by Jens Berthold.
