DESCRIPTION

This command, like its sibling dumpphases, exists to help make understanding what is going on in Dist::Zilla a little easier.

At least, having this command means debugging certain kinds of problems is more obvious.

If you want to see all plugins that are adding files to your dist?

dzil dumpwith -- -FileGatherer

Though, of course, this requires some knowledge of what roles are applicable.

If you want to turn colors off, use Term::ANSIcolor's environment variable ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED. E.g.,

ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED=1 dzil dumpphases

Alternatively, specify a color-free theme:

dzil dumpwith --color-theme=basic::plain -- -VersionProvider

KNOWN ISSUES

Prior to Dist::Zilla 6.0, the format

dzil dumpwith -VersionProvider

Was fine.

However, since Dist::Zilla 6.0, Dist::Zilla maps -V to verbose.

To work around this problem on Dist::Zilla 6.0 or later, you need to either not use short-hands for roles,

# dzil dumpwith -VersionProvider
dzil dumpwith Dist::Zilla::Role::VersionProvider

Or place all the role names (and only role names) after a --

dzil dumpwith --color=... -- -VersionProvider -OtherRole --color-ThisIsAlsoARoleBTWSoDontDoThis

Any suggestions welcome for how I can detect this problem case happening and report it, but the data appears now outside of a scope I can probe.
