NAME
Test::Continuous - Run your test suite continuously when developing.
SYNOPSIS
Very simple usage:
% cd MyModule/
% autoprove
You may pass prove arguments:
% autoprove --shuffle
DESCRIPTION
*Continuous Testing* is a concept and tool to re-run software tests as
soon as the developer saves the source code.
"Test::Continuous" is a tool based on App::Prove that implements this
concept for Perl.
See for the
original implementation of Continuous Testing as an Eclipse plugin. See
also Zentest for the
same concept implemented in Ruby's world.
INTERFACE
runtests
This function starts monitoring the mtime of all files under current
working directory. If there's any update, it runs your module tests
under t/ directory with App::Prove.
You could call it from command line like this:
perl -MTest::Continuous -e Test::Continuous::runtests
However, it's recommended to use the autoprove program shipped with
this distribution to do this instead.
CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Test::Continuous requires no configuration files or environment
variables.
Your ".proverc" is NOT loaded, even though it's based on App::Prove.
DEPENDENCIES
App::Prove, Log::Dispatch, Log::Dispatch::DesktopNotification,
Module::ExtractUse
INCOMPATIBILITIES
It might not be compatible with all Test::Harness::* classes. Testing
with remote harness classes basically works, but has some glitches. Help
is appreciated.
