NAME Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion - Require a minimum version for your dependencies VERSION Version 0.002 SYNOPSIS use Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion; Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion->new(module => { ... })->all_files_ok; DESCRIPTION There are some modules where you'll always depend on a minimal version, either because of a bug or because of an API change. A good example would be Test::More where version 0.88 introduced done_testing() or version which strongly urges to set 0.77 as a minimum in your code. This test can be used to check that, whenever you use these modules, you also declare the minimum version. This test is an author test and should not run on end-user installations. Recommendation is to put it into your xt instead of your t directory. USAGE new( ARGS ) Returns a new Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion instance. new takes a hash with its arguments. Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion->new( module => { 'Test::More' => '0.88', }, ); The following arguments are supported: module (required) The module argument is a hash ref where the keys are the modules you want to enforce and the minimal version is its value. file_ok( FILENAME ) This will run a test for parsing the file with Perl::PrereqScanner and another test for every module you specified if it is used in this file. It is therefore unlikely to know the exact number of tests that will run in advance. Use done_testing from Test::More if you call this test directly instead of a plan. file_ok returns something true if all checked dependencies are at least of the required minimal version and false otherwise. all_files_ok( [ @entries ] ) Checks all the files under @entries by calling file_ok on every file. Directories are recursive searched for files. Everything not a file and not a directory (e.g. a symlink) is ignored. It calls done_testing or skip_all so you can't have already called plan. If @entries is empty default directories are searched for files. The default directories are blib, or lib if it doesn't exist, bin and script. all_files_ok returns something true if all files test ok and false otherwise. EXAMPLES Example 1 Default Usage Check all files in the bin, script and lib directory. use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion; Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion->new( module => { 'version' => '0.77', }, )->all_files_ok; Example 2 Check non-default directories or files use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion; Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion->new( module => { 'Test::More' => '0.88', 'version' => '0.77', }, )->all_files_ok(qw(bin lib t xt corpus/hello_world.pl)); Example 3 Call file_ok directly use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::More 0.88; use Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion; my $trmdv = Test::RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion->new( module => { 'Test::More' => '0.88', }, ); $trmdv->file_ok('t/00-load.t'); $trmdv->file_ok('xt/author/pod-links.t'); done_testing(); SEE ALSO Test::More SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at https://github.com/skirmess/Test-RequiredMinimumDependencyVersion/issues.
