NAME

App::ProveRdeps - Prove all distributions depending on specified module(s)

VERSION

This document describes version 0.007 of App::ProveRdeps (from Perl distribution App-ProveRdeps), released on 2020-01-31.

SYNOPSIS

See the included script prove-rdeps.

FUNCTIONS

prove_rdeps

Usage:

 prove_rdeps(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Prove all distributions depending on specified module(s).

To use this utility, first create ~/.config/prove-rdeps.conf:

 dist_dirs = ~/repos
 dist_dirs = ~/repos-other

The above tells prove-rdeps where to look for Perl distributions. Then:

 % prove-rdeps Regexp::Pattern

This will search local CPAN mirror for all distributions that depend on Log::ger (by default for phase=runtime and rel=requires), then search the distributions in the distribution directories (or download them from local CPAN mirror), cd to each and run prove in it.

You can run with --dry-run (-n) option first to not actually run prove but just see what distributions will get tested. An example output:

 % prove-rdeps Regexp::Pattern -n
 prove-rdeps: Found dep: Acme-DependOnEverything (runtime requires)
 prove-rdeps: Found dep: App-BlockWebFlooders (runtime requires)
 prove-rdeps: Found dep: App-Licensecheck (runtime requires)
 prove-rdeps: Found dep: Pod-Weaver-Plugin-Regexp-Pattern (develop x_spec)
 prove-rdeps: Dep Pod-Weaver-Plugin-Regexp-Pattern skipped (phase not included)
 ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [1/8] Running prove for dist 'Acme-DependOnEverything' in '/tmp/BP3l0kiuZH/Acme-DependOnEverything-0.06' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [2/8] Running prove for dist 'App-BlockWebFlooders' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-App-BlockWebFlooders' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [3/8] Running prove for dist 'App-Licensecheck' in '/tmp/pw1hBzUIaZ/App-Licensecheck-v3.0.40' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [4/8] Running prove for dist 'App-RegexpPatternUtils' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-App-RegexpPatternUtils' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [5/8] Running prove for dist 'Bencher-Scenarios-RegexpPattern' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-Bencher-Scenarios-RegexpPattern' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [6/8] Running prove for dist 'Regexp-Common-RegexpPattern' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-Regexp-Common-RegexpPattern' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [7/8] Running prove for dist 'Release-Util-Git' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-Release-Util-Git' ...
 prove-rdeps: [DRY] [8/8] Running prove for dist 'Test-Regexp-Pattern' in '/home/u1/repos/perl-Test-Regexp-Pattern' ...

The above example shows that I have the distribution directories locally on my ~/repos, except for Acme-DependOnEverything and App-Licensecheck, which prove-rdeps downloads and extracts from local CPAN mirror and puts into temporary directories.

If we reinvoke the above command without the -n, prove-rdeps will actually run prove on each directory and provide a summary at the end. Example output:

 % prove-rdeps Regexp::Pattern
 ...
 +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+
 | dist                        | reason                            | status |
 +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+
 | Acme-DependOnEverything     | Test failed (Failed 1/1 subtests) | 500    |
 | App-Licensecheck            | Test failed (No subtests run)     | 500    |
 | Regexp-Common-RegexpPattern | Non-zero exit code (2)            | 500    |
 +-----------------------------+-----------------------------------+--------+

The above example shows that three distributions failed testing. You can scroll up for the detailed prove output to see why they failed, fix things, and re-run. To skip some dists from being tested, use --exclude-dist:

 % prove-rdeps Regexp::Pattern --exclude-dist Acme-DependOnEverything

Or you can also put these lines in the configuration file:

 exclude_dists = Acme-DependOnEverything
 exclude_dists = Regexp-Common-RegexpPattern

How distribution directory is searched: first, the exact name (My-Perl-Dist) is searched. If not found, then the name with different case (e.g. my-perl-dist) is searched. If not found, a suffix match (e.g. p5-My-Perl-Dist or cpan-My-Perl-Dist) is searched. If not found, a prefix match (e.g. My-Perl-Dist-perl) is searched. If not found, prove-rdeps will try to download the distribution tarball from local CPAN mirror and extract it to a temporary directory. If --no-dowload is given, the prove-rdeps will not download from local CPAN mirror and give up for that distribution.

When a dependent distribution cannot be found or downloaded/extracted, this counts as a 412 error (Precondition Failed).

When a distribution's test fails, this counts as a 500 error (Error). Otherwise, the status is 200 (OK).

prove-rdeps will return status 200 (OK) with the status of each dist. It will exit 0 if all distros are successful, otherwise it will exit 1.

This function is not exported.

This function supports dry-run operation.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • dist_dirs* => array[dirname]

    Where to find the distributions.

  • download => bool (default: 1)

    Whether to try download/extract distribution from local CPAN mirror (when not found in dist_dirs).

  • exclude_dist_pattern => re

    Distribution name pattern to skip.

  • exclude_dists => array[perl::distname]

    Distributions to skip.

  • include_dist_pattern => re

    If specified, only include distributions with this pattern.

  • include_dists => array[perl::distname]

    If specified, only include these distributions.

  • modules* => array[perl::modname]

    Module names to find dependents of.

  • phases => array[str] (default: ["runtime"])

    Only select dists that depend in these phases.

  • prove_opts => array[str] (default: ["-l"])

    Options to pass to the prove command.

  • rels => array[str] (default: ["requires"])

    Only select dists that depend using these relationships.

Special arguments:

  • -dry_run => bool

    Pass -dry_run=>1 to enable simulation mode.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
