NAME

Test::Version - Check to see that version's in modules are sane

VERSION

version 2.09

SYNOPSIS

use Test::More;
use Test::Version 1.001001 qw( version_all_ok ), {
    is_strict   => 0,
    has_version => 1,
    consistent  => 1,
  };

# test blib or lib by default
version_all_ok();

done_testing;

DESCRIPTION

This module's goal is to be a one stop shop for checking to see that your versions across your dist are sane. Please ensure that you use version 0.04 or later only, as earlier versions are old code and may not work correctly. Current feature list:

module has a version

Tests to insure that all modules checked have a VERSION defined, Can replace Test::HasVersion

module has a valid version

Tests to insure that all versions are valid, according to the rules of version method is_lax. To quote:

The lax criteria corresponds to what is currently allowed by the version parser. All of the following formats are acceptable for dotted-decimal formats strings:

v1.2
1.2345.6
v1.23_4
1.2345
1.2345_01

If you want to limit yourself to a much more narrow definition of what a version string constitutes, is_strict() is limited to version strings like the following list:

v1.234.5
2.3456

you can cause your tests to fail if not strict by setting is_strict to 1

FUNCTIONS

version_ok

version_ok( $filename, [ $name ] );

Test a single .pm file by passing a path to the function. Checks if the module has a version, and that it is valid with is_lax.

version_all_ok

version_all_ok( [ $directory, [ $name ]] );

Test all modules in a directory with version_ok. By default it will check blib or lib if you haven't passed it a directory.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

has_version

use Test::Version qw( version_all_ok ), { has_version => 0 };

Allows disabling whether a module has to have a version. If set to 0 version tests will be skipped in any module where no version is found.

really doesn't make sense to use with just version_ok

is_strict

use Test::Version { is_strict => 1 };

this allows enabling of versions is_strict checks to ensure that your version is strict.

consistent

use Test::Version { consistent => 1 };

Check if every module has the same version number.

ignore_unindexable

use Test::Version { ignore_unindexable => 0};

if you have at least Module::Metadata v1.000020 Test::Version will by default skip any files not considered is_indexable

filename_match

use Test::Version 2.0 { filename_match => [qr{Foo/Bar.pm$}] };

Only test files that match the given pattern. Pattern may be a list of strings, regular expressions or code references. The filename will match if it matches one or more patterns.

string

The file matches if it matches the pattern string exactly.

regular expression

The file matches if it matches the regular expression.

code reference

The file matches if the code reference returns a true value. The filename is passed in as the only argument to the code reference.

multiple

use Test::Version 2.02 { multiple => 1 };

Test each version for each package if multiple packages are found in a file.

SEE ALSO

The goal is to have the functionality of all of these.

Test::HasVersion
Test::ConsistentVersion
Test::GreaterVersion

If you are using Dist::Zilla there is a plugin

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Version
