NAME

Test::Files - A Test::Builder based module to ease testing with files and dirs

SYNOPSIS

use Test::More tests => 5;
use Test::Files;

file_ok("path/to/some/file", "contents\nof\file", "some file");

compare_ok("path/to/a/file", "path/to/correct/file", "they're the same");

dir_contains_ok     ( "some/dir", [qw(files some/dir should contain)] );

dir_only_contains_ok( "some/dir", [qw(files some/dir should contain)] );

compare_dirs_ok("some/dir", "some/other/dir/with/exactly/the/same/stuff");

ABSTRACT

Test::Builder based test helper which helps you test files and their contents
Future versions will likely work on directories too.

DESCRIPTION

This module is like Test::More, in fact you should use that first as shown above. It exports file_ok and compare_ok which compare the contents of a file to a string or to another file.

Though the SYNOPSIS examples don't all have names, you can and should provide a name for each test. Names are omitted above only to reduce clutter and line widths.

EXPORT

file_ok compare_ok dir_contains_ok

DEPENDENCIES

Test::Builder Test::More Test::Differences

SEE ALSO

Consult Test::Simple, Test::More, and Test::Builder for more testing help. This module really just adds functions to what Test::More does.
