NAME

Test::LocalFunctions - Detects unused local functions

VERSION

This document describes Test::LocalFunctions version 0.23

SYNOPSIS

    # check modules that are listed in MANIFEST
    use Test::LocalFunctions;
    use Test::More;
    all_local_functions_ok();
    done_testing;

    # you can specify modules to ignore the test
    use Test::LocalFunctions;
    use Test::More;
    all_local_functions_ok({ignore_modules => ['Wanna::Ignore::Module']}); # Wanna::Ignore::Module will be ignored to testing
    done_testing;

    # you can also specify individual file
    use Test::LocalFunctions;
    use Test::More;
    local_functions_ok('/path/to/your/module_or_script');
    done_testing;

    # you can specify functions to exclude from test by regex.
    use Test::LocalFunctions;
    use Test::More;
    local_functions_ok('/path/to/your/module_or_script', {ignore_functions => [qr/_wanna_ignore_function/]}); # _wanna_ignore_function() will be ignored to testing.
    # all_local_functions_ok({ignore_functions => [qr/_wanna_ignore_function/]}); # <= also ok!
    done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

Test::LocalFunctions finds unused local functions to clean up the source code. (Local function means the function which name starts from underscore.)

This module decides back end module automatically. If `Compiler::Lexer` has been installed in target environment, this module will use `Test::LocalFunctions::Fast` as back end. Otherwise this module will use `Test::LocalFunctions::PPI`. Which uses `PPI` for lexical analysis.

`PPI` is not fast, but `Compiler::Lexer` is fast. So I recommend you to install `Compiler::Lexer`.

METHODS

  • all_local_functions_ok

    This is a test function which finds unused variables from modules that are listed in MANIFEST file.

  • local_functions_ok

    This is a test function which finds unused variables from specified source code. This function requires an argument which is the path to source file.

  • which_backend_is_used

    This function returns the used module as back end. It will returns `Test::LocalFunctions::PPI` or `Test::LocalFunctions::Fast`.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

  • T_LF_PPI (environment variable)

    This module uses `Test::LocalFunctions::PPI` as back end forcedly if this environment variable is set any value.

DEPENDENCIES

  • PPI (version 1.215 or later)

  • Sub::Identify (version 0.04 or later)

  • Test::Builder::Module (version 0.98 or later)

  • Test::Builder::Tester (version 1.22 or later)

RECOMMENDED

  • Compiler::Lexer (version 0.12 or later)
