NAME

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::critic - build your dist and run Perl::Critic on the built files.

VERSION

version 0.001011

DESCRIPTION

critic is an App::Command for Dist::Zilla which streamlines running Perl::Critic on your built distribution.

This competes with the likes of [Test::Perl::Critic] by:

  • not requiring the rest of the steps in the test life-cycle to execute.

  • not being impeded by the other tests cluttering your output.

  • not suffering the limitations of Test::Perl::Critic which discards profile color settings.

  • carefully formatting output to give a clearer visualization of where failures lie.

  • not requiring your dist have a Test::Perl::Critic test pass for release.

  • not requiring your dist to have any explicit Perl::Critic consumption.

Behaviorally:

  dzil critic

Behaves very similar to:

   dzil run --no-build perlcritic -p perlcritic.rc lib/

Except with improved verbosity of file name reporting.

CONFIGURATION

This module has little configuration at this point.

perlcritic.rc is the name of the default profile to use, and it must be in your BUILT tree to be used.

Alternatively, IF you are using [Test::Perl::Critic] in your dist, the path specified to perlcritic.rc in that module will be used.
