NAME

Test::Perinci::CmdLine - Common test suite for Perinci::CmdLine::{Lite,Classic,Inline}

VERSION

This document describes version 1.484 of Test::Perinci::CmdLine (from Perl distribution Test-Perinci-CmdLine), released on 2023-10-30.

FUNCTIONS

pericmd_run_ok

Usage:

pericmd_run_ok(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Run a single test of a Perinci::CmdLine script.

This function is exported by default.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • argv => array (default: [])

    Command-line arguments that will be passed to generated CLI script.

  • class* => str

    Which Perinci::CmdLine class are we testing.

  • classic_gen_args => hash

    Additional arguments to be passed to `Perinci::CmdLine::Gen::gen_pericmd_script()`.

    Keys from this argument will be added to gen_args and will only be used when class is Perinci::CmdLine::Classic.

  • comp_answer => array[str]

    Test completion answer of generated CLI script.

  • comp_line0 => str

    Set COMP_LINE environment for generated CLI script.

    Can contain ^ (caret) character which will be stripped from the final COMP_LINE and the position of the character will be used to determine COMP_POINT.

  • env => hash

    Set environment variables for generated CLI script.

  • exit_code => int (default: 0)

    Expected script's exit code.

  • exit_code_like => re (default: 0)

    Expected script's exit code (as regex pattern).

  • gen_args* => hash

    Arguments to be passed to `Perinci::CmdLine::Gen::gen_pericmd_script()`.

  • gen_status => int (default: 200)

    Expected generate result status.

  • inline_allow => array[perl::modname]

    Modules to allow to be loaded when testing generated Perinci::CmdLine::Inline script.

    By default, when running the generated Perinci::CmdLine::Inline script, this perl option will be used (see lib::filter for more details):

    -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0

    This means the script will only be able to load core modules. But if the script is allowed to load additional modules, you can set this inline_allow parameter to, e.g. ["Foo::Bar","Baz"] and the above perl option will become:

    -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,allow,Foo::Bar;Baz

    To skip using this option, set inline_run_filter to false.

  • inline_gen_args => hash

    Additional arguments to be passed to `Perinci::CmdLine::Gen::gen_pericmd_script()`.

    Keys from this argument will be added to gen_args and will only be used when class is Perinci::CmdLine::Inline.

  • inline_run_filter => bool (default: 1)

    Whether to use -Mfilter when running generated Perinci::CmdLine::Inline script.

    By default, when running the generated Perinci::CmdLine::Inline script, this perl option will be used (see lib::filter for more details):

    -Mlib::filter=allow_noncore,0,...

    This is to test that the script does not require non-core modules. To skip using this option (e.g. when using pack_deps gen option set to false), set this option to false.

  • lite_gen_args => hash

    Additional arguments to be passed to `Perinci::CmdLine::Gen::gen_pericmd_script()`.

    Keys from this argument will be added to gen_args and will only be used when class is Perinci::CmdLine::Lite.

  • name => str

    Test name.

    If not specified, a nice default will be picked (e.g. from argv).

  • posttest => code

    Additional tests.

    For example you can do is() or ok() or other Test::More tests.

  • stderr_like => re

    Test error output of generated CLI script.

  • stderr_unlike => re

    Test error output of generated CLI script.

  • stdin => str

    Supply stdin content to generated CLI script.

  • stdout_like => re

    Test output of generated CLI script.

  • stdout_unlike => re

    Test output of generated CLI script.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

pericmd_run_suite_ok

Usage:

pericmd_run_suite_ok(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Common test suite for Perinci::CmdLine::{Lite,Classic,Inline}.

This function is exported by default.

  • class* => str

    Which Perinci::CmdLine class are we testing.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error).

Return value: (any)

pericmd_run_test_groups_ok

Usage:

pericmd_run_test_groups_ok(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Run groups of Perinci::CmdLine tests.

This function is exported by default.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • class* => str

    Which Perinci::CmdLine class are we testing.

  • cleanup_tempdir => bool

    (No description)

  • include_tags => array[str]

    (No description)

  • tempdir => str

    If not specified, will create temporary directory with File::Temp's tempdir().

  • class* => str

    Which Perinci::CmdLine class are we testing.

  • name => str

    (No description)

ENVIRONMENT

DEBUG => bool

If set to 1, then temporary files (e.g. generated scripts for testing) will not be cleaned up, so you can inspect them.

TEST_PERICMD_EXCLUDE_TAGS => str

To set default for pericmd_ok()'s exclude_tags argument.

TEST_PERICMD_INCLUDE_TAGS => str

To set default for pericmd_ok()'s include_tags argument.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
