NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TestRelease - extract archive and run tests before releasing the dist

VERSION

version 4.300034

DESCRIPTION

This plugin runs before a release happens. It will extract the to-be-released archive into a temporary directory and use the TestRunner plugins to run its tests. If the tests fail, the release is aborted and the temporary directory is left in place. If the tests pass, the temporary directory is cleaned up and the release process continues.

This will set the RELEASE_TESTING and AUTHOR_TESTING env vars while running the test suite.
