NAME

TAP::Harness::Restricted - Skip some test files

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

# command line
$ HARNESS_SUBCLASS=TAP::Harness::Restricted make test

# bashrc file
export HARNESS_SUBCLASS=TAP::Harness::Restricted

DESCRIPTION

This module is a trivial subclass of TAP::Harness. It overrides the aggregate_tests function to filter out tests that I didn't want getting in the way of module installation.

The current criteria include:

  • File names that look like pod.t or pod-coverage.t, with optional leading numbers

  • Files matching any of the space-separated glob patterns in $ENV{HARNESS_SKIP}

  • Files that look like author tests based on the modules they use or require

The list of modules to exclude is:

  • Test::CleanNamespaces

  • Test::DependentModules

  • Test::EOL

  • Test::Kwalitee

  • Test::Mojibake

  • Test::NoTabs

  • Test::Perl::Critic

  • Test::Pod

  • Test::Portability::Files

  • Test::Spelling

  • Test::Vars

Suggestions for other annoying things to filter out are welcome.

If someone is inclined to make this extensible so people can put their own criteria into configuration files, please email the author with ideas before sending a patch.
