prove-dirs - Prove one or more directories
This document describes version 0.005 of prove-dirs (from Perl distribution App-ProveDirs), released on 2020-03-07.
Usage:
% prove-dirs [options] <dir> ...
Given one or more directories as argument (which are assumed to be directories of Perl distributions), this utility cd to each directory and run prove in each. It then provides a summary at the end.
cd
prove
You can run with --dry-run (-n) option first to not actually run prove but just see what directories will get tested. An example output:
--dry-run
-n
% prove-dirs perl-* -n prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Acme-CPANModules' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Data-Sah' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Data-Sah-Filter' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Date-strftimeq' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Log-ger' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Log-ger-Output-Screen' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Module-Installed-Tiny' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-Text-ANSITable' ... prove-dirs: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove in directory 'perl-lib-filter' ...
If we reinvoke the above command without the -n, prove-dirs will actually run prove in each directory and provide a summary at the end. Example output:
% prove-dirs perl-* -n ... +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+ | dist | reason | status | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+ | perl-Acme-CPANModules | Test failed (Failed 1/1 subtests) | 500 | | perl-Date-strftimeq | Test failed (No subtests run) | 500 | | perl-lib-filter | Non-zero exit code (2) | 500 | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+
The above example shows that three directories (distributions) failed testing. You can scroll up for the detailed prove output to see why they failed, fix things, and re-run.
When a distribution's test fails, this counts as a 500 error (Error). Otherwise, the status is 200 (OK).
prove-dirs will return status 200 (OK) with the status of each directory. It will exit 0 if all directories are successful, otherwise it will exit 1.
* marks required options.
*
The directories.
Can be specified multiple times.
The directories (JSON-encoded).
See --dir.
--dir
Options to pass to the prove command.
Default value:
["-l"]
Options to pass to the prove command (JSON-encoded).
See --prove-opt.
--prove-opt
If true, also summarize successes in addition to failures.
Shortcut for --log-level=debug.
Set log level.
Shortcut for --log-level=error.
Shortcut for --log-level=trace.
Shortcut for --log-level=info.
Choose output format, e.g. json, text.
undef
Set output format to json.
When outputing as JSON, strip result envelope.
0
By default, when outputing as JSON, the full enveloped result is returned, e.g.:
[200,"OK",[1,2,3],{"func.extra"=>4}]
The reason is so you can get the status (1st element), status message (2nd element) as well as result metadata/extra result (4th element) instead of just the result (3rd element). However, sometimes you want just the result, e.g. when you want to pipe the result for more post-processing. In this case you can use `--naked-res` so you just get:
[1,2,3]
Filter output through a pager.
Run in simulation mode (also via DRY_RUN=1).
""
Display help message and exit.
Display program's version and exit.
This script has shell tab completion capability with support for several shells.
To activate bash completion for this script, put:
complete -C prove-dirs prove-dirs
in your bash startup (e.g. ~/.bashrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is recommended, however, that you install modules using cpanm-shcompgen which can activate shell completion for scripts immediately.
To activate tcsh completion for this script, put:
complete prove-dirs 'p/*/`prove-dirs`/'
in your tcsh startup (e.g. ~/.tcshrc). Your next shell session will then recognize tab completion for the command. Or, you can also directly execute the line above in your shell to activate immediately.
It is also recommended to install shcompgen (see above).
For fish and zsh, install shcompgen as described above.
