NAME

Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner - Modules for running tests

SYNOPSIS

  use Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Foo;
  Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Foo::run(5, $meta);

DESCRIPTION

A runner is a module that runs a program on some input data, returning a verdict. Each runner has a subroutine, run($test, $meta), which runs the program on the given test and returns a verdict.

If the test is successful, the verdict is a string, usually a message (such as "Ok") or a number of points (such as "10"). Otherwise, the verdict is an array reference with two elements: an error code (see Gruntmaster::Daemon::Constants for a list) and an error message.

There are three runners in this distribution:

Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::File - Compare output with static text files

Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Verifier - Check the program output with a verifier

Gruntmaster::Daemon::Runner::Interactive - Make an interactive verifier talk to the program
