NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::ReportPrereqs - Report on prerequisite versions during automated testing
VERSION
version 0.001
SYNOPSIS
# in dist.ini
[Test::ReportPrereqs]DESCRIPTION
This Dist::Zilla plugin adds a t/00-report-prereqs.t test file. If AUTOMATED_TESTING is true, it reports the version of all modules listed in the distribution metadata prerequisites (including 'recommends', 'suggests', etc.).
If a MYMETA.json file exists and CPAN::Meta is installed on the testing machine, MYMETA.json will be examined for prerequisites as it would include any dynamic prerequisites. Otherwise, a static list of prerequisites is used, generated when distribution tarball was built.
Versions are reported based on the result of parse_version from ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which means prerequisite modules are not actually loaded (which avoids various edge cases with certain modules). Parse errors are reported as "undef". If a module is not installed, "missing" is reported instead of a version string.
SEE ALSO
Other Dist::Zilla::Plugins do similar things in slightly different ways that didn't suit my style and needs.
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::PrereqsFromMeta -- requires prereqs to be satisfied
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::ReportVersions -- bundles a copy of YAML::Tiny, reads prereqs only from META.yml, and attempts to load them with
requireDist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::ReportVersions::Tiny -- static list only, loads modules with
require
