NAME

Test::Rail::Parser - Upload your TAP results to TestRail

VERSION

version 0.018

DESCRIPTION

A TAP parser which will upload your test results to a TestRail install. Has several options as to how you might want to upload said results.

Subclass of TAP::Parser, see that for usage past the constructor.

You should probably use App::Prove::Plugin::TestRail or the bundled program testrail-report for day-to-day usage... unless you need to subclass this. In that case a couple of options have been exposed for your convenience.

CONSTRUCTOR

new(OPTIONS)

Get the TAP Parser ready to talk to TestRail, and register a bunch of callbacks to upload test results.

OPTIONS - HASHREF -- Keys are as follows:
apiurl - STRING: Full URI to your TestRail installation.
user - STRING: Name of your TestRail user.
pass - STRING: Said user's password.
debug - BOOLEAN: Print a bunch of extra messages
browser - OBJECT: Something like an LWP::UserAgent. Useful for mocking with Test::LWP::UserAgent::TestRailMock.
run - STRING (optional): name of desired run. Required if run_id not passed.
run_id - INTEGER (optional): ID of desired run. Required if run not passed.
project - STRING (optional): name of project containing your desired run. Required if project_id not passed.
project_id - INTEGER (optional): ID of project containing your desired run. Required if project not passed.
step_results - STRING (optional): 'internal name' of the 'step_results' type field available for your project. Mutually exclusive with case_per_ok
case_per_ok - BOOLEAN (optional): Consider test files to correspond to section names, and test steps (OKs) to correspond to tests in TestRail. Mutually exclusive with step_results.
result_options - HASHREF (optional): Extra options to set with your result. See TestRail::API's createTestResults function for more information.
custom_options - HASHREF (optional): Custom options to set with your result. See TestRail::API's createTestResults function for more information. step_results will be set here, if the option is passed.

It is worth noting that if neither step_results or case_per_ok is passed, that the test will be passed if it has no problems of any sort, failed otherwise. In both this mode and step_results, the file name of the test is expected to correspond to the test name in TestRail.

This module also attempts to calculate the elapsed time to run each test if it is run by a prove plugin rather than on raw TAP.

PARSER CALLBACKS

unknownCallback

Called whenever we encounter an unknown line in TAP. Only useful for prove output, as we might pick a filename out of there. Stores said filename for future use if encountered.

commentCallback

Grabs comments preceding a test so that we can include that as the test's notes. Especially useful when merge=1 is passed to the constructor.

testCallback

If we are using step_results, append it to the step results array for use at EOF. If we are using case_per_ok, update TestRail per case. Otherwise, do nothing.

EOFCallback

If we are running in step_results mode, send over all the step results to TestRail. If we are running in case_per_ok mode, do nothing. Otherwise, upload the overall results of the test to TestRail.

NOTES

When using SKIP: {} (or TODO skip) blocks, you may want to consider naming your skip reasons the same as your test names when running in test_per_ok mode.
