NAME

CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke - CPANPLUS distribution class that integrates CPAN Testing services into CPANPLUS

SYNOPSIS

# CPANPLUS shell - use CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke services during manual use.

cpanp> s conf dist_type CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke

cpanp> s save

DESCRIPTION

CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke is a CPANPLUS distribution class that integrates a number of CPAN Testing services into CPANPLUS.

It will create a database file in the .cpanplus directory, which it uses to track tested distributions. This information will be used to keep from posting multiple reports for the same module, and to keep from testing modules that use non-passing modules as prerequisites.

If prereqs have been tested previously and have resulted in a pass grade then the tests for those prereqs will be skipped, speeding up smoke testing.

By default it uses CPANPLUS configuration settings.

It can be utilised during manual use of CPANPLUS by setting the dist_type configuration variable.

Its main utility is in conjunction with CPANPLUS::YACSmoke.

CONFIGURATION FILE

CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke only honours the exclude_dists in CPAN::YACSmoke style ini files.

The exclude_dists setting, which is laid out as:

[CONFIG]
exclude_dists=<<HERE
mod_perl
HERE

The above would then ignore any distribution that include the string 'mod_perl' in its name. This is useful for distributions which use external C libraries, which are not installed, or for which testing is problematic.

See Config::IniFiles for more information on the INI file format.

METHODS OVERIDDEN

CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke overrides a number of methods provided by CPANPLUS::Dist::Base

init

This method is called just after the new dist object is set up. It initialises the database file if it hasn't been initialised already and loads the list of excluded distributions from the ini file if that hasn't been loaded already. It also registers callbacks with the CPANPLUS backend.

prepare

This runs the preparation step of your distribution. This step is meant to set up the environment so the create step can create the actual distribution(file). This can mean running either Makefile.PL or Build.PL.

CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke will check for the existence of a .yacsmoke.yml in the extracted build directory. If it exists it will load the meta data that it contains and sets $dist->status->_skipbuild to true.

create

This runs the creation step of your distribution, by running make and make test for instance. The distribution is checked against the database to see if a pass grade has already been reported for this distribution, if so then skiptest is set and the testsuite will not be run.

If $dist->status->_skipbuild is set to true, CPANPLUS::Dist::YACSmoke will skip the build and test stages completely and resolve any prereqs for the distribution before adding the build directories blib structure to the include path.
