NAME

Helios::TestService - Helios::Service subclass for testing purposes

DESCRIPTION

You can use Helios::TestService to test the functionality of your Helios collective.

1. Start a helios.pl daemon to service Helios::TestService jobs by issuing:

   helios.pl Helios::TestService

   at a command prompt.

2. Submit a job, either from code you're trying to test, or through the Helios::Panoptes Submit Job page.

3. Helios should run the test job. The job arguments will be parsed and logged as entries in the Helios log. If argument parsing fails, there will be an error in the log instead.

METHODS

max_retries()

retry_delay()

These are disabled as we don't normally want to retry test jobs.

run()

The run() method just logs the arguments passed to the job.
