NAME

Test::Rinci - Test Rinci metadata

VERSION

This document describes version 0.155 of Test::Rinci (from Perl distribution Test-Rinci), released on 2020-09-23.

SYNOPSIS

To check all metadata in a module:

 use Test::Rinci tests=>1;
 metadata_in_module_ok("Foo::Bar", {opt => ...}, $msg);

Alternatively, you can check all metadata in all modules in a distro:

 # save in release-rinci.t, put in distro's t/ subdirectory
 use Test::More;
 plan skip_all => "Not release testing" unless $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING};
 eval "use Test::Rinci";
 plan skip_all => "Test::Rinci required for testing Rinci metadata" if $@;
 metadata_in_all_modules_ok({opt => ...}, $msg);

DESCRIPTION

This module performs various checks on a module's Rinci metadata. It is recommended that you include something like release-rinci.t in your distribution if you add metadata to your code. If you use Dist::Zilla to build your distribution, there is Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Rinci to make it easy to do so.

FUNCTIONS

All these functions are exported by default.

metadata_in_module_ok($module [, \%opts ] [, $msg])

Load $module, get its metadata, and perform test on all of them. For function metadata, a wrapping to the function is done to see if it can be wrapped.

Available options:

  • load => BOOL (default: 1)

    Set to false if you do not want to load the module, e.g. if you want to test metadata in main package or if you have already loaded the module yourself.

  • test_package_metadata => BOOL (default: 1)

    Whether to test package metadata found in module.

  • exclude_packages => REGEX/ARRAY

    List of packages to exclude from testing.

  • test_function_metadata => BOOL (default: 1)

    Whether to test function metadata found in module. Currently require wrap_function option to be turned on, as the tests are done to the metadata generated by the wrapper (for convenience, since the wrapper can convert old v1.0 metadata to v1.1).

  • wrap_function => BOOL (default: 1)

    Whether to wrap function (using Perinci::Sub::Wrapper). All tests which run module's functions require this option to be turned on.

  • test_function_examples => BOOL (default: 1)

    Whether to test examples in function metadata, by running each example and comparing the specified result with actual result. Will only take effect when test_function_metadata and wrap_functions is turned on.

  • exclude_functions => REGEX/ARRAY

    List of functions to exclude from testing.

  • test_variable_metadata => BOOL (default: 1)

    Whether to test function metadata found in module.

  • exclude_variables => REGEX/ARRAY

    List of variables to exclude from testing.

metadata_in_all_modules_ok([ \%opts ] [, $msg])

Look for modules in directory lib (or blib instead, if it exists), and run metadata_in_module_ok() on each of them.

Options are the same as in metadata_in_module_ok().
