VERSION

Version 3.10

DESCRIPTION

Test::Harness provides a command, prove, which runs a TAP based test suite and prints a report. The prove command is a minimal wrapper around an instance of this module.

SYNOPSIS

    use App::Prove;

    my $app = App::Prove->new;
    $app->process_args(@ARGV);
    $app->run;

METHODS

Class Methods

new

Create a new App::Prove. Optionally a hash ref of attribute initializers may be passed.

add_rc_file

    $prove->add_rc_file('myproj/.proverc');

Called before process_args to prepend the contents of an rc file to the options.

process_args

    $prove->process_args(@args);

Processes the command-line arguments. Attributes will be set appropriately. Any filenames may be found in the argv attribute.

Dies on invalid arguments.

run

Perform whatever actions the command line args specified. The prove command line tool consists of the following code:

    use App::Prove;

    my $app = App::Prove->new;
    $app->process_args(@ARGV);
    $app->run;

require_harness

Load a harness replacement class.

  $prove->require_harness($for => $class_name);
