Automated Build and Test

Description

Support for creating and running unit tests \\ Please take the following snipetts form Perldoc into account whilst reading this page.

• @INC

The array @INC contains the list of places that the do EXPR , require, or use constructs look for their library files. It initially consists of the arguments to any -I command-line switches, followed by the default Perl library, probably /usr/local/lib/perl, followed by ".", to represent the current directory. ("." will not be appended if taint checks are enabled, either by -T or by -t .) If you need to modify this at runtime,

• prove option switches

 -v   --verbose  Print all test lines.
 -l   --lib      Add 'lib' to the path for your tests (-Ilib).
 -b   --blib     Add 'blib/lib' and 'blib/arch' to the path for your tests

Run -> Run Tests

This will process your Skeleton and your additional test files, located within /t directory structure

Skeleton	Action
Module::Build	./Build test
Module::Install	make test
ExtUtils::MakeMaker	make test

Run -> Run Build and Tests

This will Build/make depending on your Skeleton.

Skeleton	Action
Module::Build	./Build
Module::Install	make
ExtUtils::MakeMaker	make

followed by Run Tests.

Run -> Run This Test

This will process your Active test script in Padre editor, test script should have .t extension (otherwise option, will be greyed out)

Skeleton	Action
Any	prove -bv $filename
