NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Compile - common tests to check syntax of your modules

VERSION

version 1.112820

SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

    [Test::Compile]
    skip      = Test$
    fake_home = 1
    needs_display = 1

DESCRIPTION

This is an extension of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineFiles, providing the following files:

  • t/00-compile.t - a standard test to check syntax of bundled modules

    This test will find all modules and scripts in your dist, and try to compile them one by one. This means it's a bit slower than loading them all at once, but it will catch more errors.

    We currently only check bin/, script/ and scripts/ for scripts.

This plugin accepts the following options:

  • skip: a regex to skip compile test for modules matching it. The match is done against the module name (Foo::Bar), not the file path (lib/Foo/Bar.pm).

  • fake_home: a boolean to indicate whether to fake $ENV{HOME}. This may be needed if your module unilateraly creates stuff in homedir: indeed, some cpantesters will smoke test your dist with a read-only home directory. Default to false.

  • needs_display: a boolean to indicate whether to skip the compile test on non-win32 systems when $ENV{DISPLAY} is not set. Default to false.
