NAME
Test::File::ShareDir - Create a Fake ShareDir for your modules for testing.
VERSION
version 0.3.1
SYNOPSIS
use Test::More;
# use FindBin; optional
use Test::File::ShareDir
# -root => "$FindBin::Bin/../" # optional,
-share => {
-module => { 'My::Module' => 'share/MyModule' }
-dist => { 'My-Dist' => 'share/somefolder' }
};
use My::Module;
use File::ShareDir qw( module_dir dist_dir );
module_dir( 'My::Module' ) # dir with files from $dist/share/MyModule
dist_dir( 'My-Dist' ) # dir with files from $dist/share/somefolder
DESCRIPTION
This module only has support for creating 'new' style share dirs and are NOT compatible with old File::ShareDirs.
For this reason, unless you have File::ShareDir 1.00 or later installed, this module will not be usable by you.
IMPORTING
-root
This parameter is the prefix the other paths are relative to.
If this parameter is not specified, it defaults to the Current Working Directory ( CWD
).
In versions prior to 0.3.0
, this value was mandatory.
The rationale behind using CWD
as the default value is as follows.
Most users of this module are likely to be using it to test distributions
Most users of this module will be using it in
$project/t/
to load files from$project/share/
Most
CPAN
tools run tests withCWD
= $project
Therefor, defaulting to CWD
is a reasonably sane default for most people, but where it is not it can still be overridden.
-root => "$FindBin::Bin/../" # resolves to project root from t/ regardless of Cwd.
-share
This parameter is mandatory, and contains a hashref
containing the data that explains what directories you want shared.
-share => { ..... }
-module
-module
contains a hashref
mapping Module names to path names for module_dir style share dirs.
-share => {
-module => { 'My::Module' => 'share/mymodule/', }
}
...
module_dir('My::Module')
Notedly, it is a hashref
, which means there is a limitation of one share dir per module. This is simply because having more than one share dir per module makes no sense at all.
-dist
-dist
contains a hashref
mapping Distribution names to path names for dist_dir style share dirs. The same limitation applied to -module
applies here.
-share => {
-dist => { 'My-Dist' => 'share/mydist' }
}
...
dist_dir('My-Dist')
