NAME

App::Prove::Plugin::TraceUse - Report all modules used during testing and check if they are listed as dependencies in Makefile.PL and Build.PL

VERSION

This document describes App::Prove::Plugin::TraceUse version 1.0.3

SYNOPSIS

    # Run this module as a plugin to the prove script, ie:
    # cd /your/module/folder
    # prove -l -PTraceUse

    # Will output the following in the end
    # if dependencies are missing in MakeFile/Build:
    # (missing deps in red, bad version in yellow)
    #
    # [...]
    # TraceUse report:
    # Makefile.PL:
    # 'File::Slurp'         => '9999.19',
    # 'Tree::Simple'        => '1.18',
    # Build.PL:
    # 'File::Slurp'         => '9999.19',
    # 'Tree::Simple'        => '1.18',

DESCRIPTION

This module keeps track of all modules and versions loaded during testing. if Makefile.PL and Build.PL are formatted as they come from a plain module-starter, it will recognize the requirement list and check this list with what was found during testing. It reports any non-core modules not listed as requirements

Currently it does not care about core modules changing between perl versions.

INTERFACE

load

Don't call this. It gets called by App::Prove. Does the following:

Makes sure user didnt specify any other harness class than TAP::Harness
Creates a subclass of TAP::Harness and makes App::Prove use that.
Adds -d:TraceUse=hidecore,output:$fn to perl switches for perl tests. $fn is a temp file name for this test.
Adds a callback to "after_test" to catch TraceUse output

DIAGNOSTICS

TraceUse plugin is only compatible wtih TAP::Harness

Apparently you use something else than TAP::Harness. Unfortunately that does not compute with this plugin.

Odd, should have had a parent for...

Parsing the Devel::TraceUse output failed. Send me data to investigate.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

App::Prove::Plugin::TraceUse requires no configuration files or environment variables.

DEPENDENCIES

App::Prove Test::Perl::Critic Test::Pod::Coverage Test::Most Set::Object Test::Pod File::Slurp Tree::Simple
