NAME

Test::Nightly::Test - Make and runs your tests.

DESCRIPTION

Designed to run our tests, and then store the results back into the object.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Nightly::Test;

my $test = Test::Nightly::Test->new();

$test->run();

The following methods are available:

new()

my $test = Test::Nightly::Test->new({
  modules               => \@modules,        # Required.
  test_directory_format => ['t/', 'tests/'], # Optional, defaults to ['t/'].
  test_file_format      => ['.t', '.pl'],    # Optional, defaults to ['.t'].
});

Create a new Test::Nightly::Test object.

C<modules> is an array of the has refs that include the path to the module and the makefile name. It isn't required that you supply this because the directories are found from the Test::Nightly object. You may want to specify these if you are calling this separately.

C<test_directory_format> in an array ref of what the test directories can be. By default it searches for the tests in ['t/'].

C<test_file_format> is an array ref of the file types that your tests are. Defaults to ['.t'].

run()

$test->run({
  # ... can take the same arguments as new() ... 
});

Loops through the supplied modules, makes those modules and runs their tests.

List of methods:

modules

List of modules. Usually is generated when you call L<Test::Nightly> new method, however it is possible to pass it in directly here. 
Structure is like so:

@modules = (
  {
    'directory' => '/dir/to/module01/'
    'makefile   => 'Makefile.PL'  
  },
  {
    'directory' => '/dir/to/module02/'
    'makefile   => 'Makefile.PL'  
  },
);

test_directory_format

An array ref of what format the test directories can be. By default it searches for the tests in 't/'.

test_file_format

An array ref of the test file formats you have. e.g. @file_formats = ('.pl', '.t'); Defaults to ['.t'].

tests

Where the output is stored after running the tests.

TODO

Find a way to suppress the output while the tests are running.
