NAME
Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::MixedScripts - author tests to ensure there is no mixed unicode
VERSION
version v0.1.2
DESCRIPTION
This generates an author Test::MixedScripts.
This is an extension of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineFiles, providing the file xt/author/mixed-unicode-scripts.t for testing against mixed Unicode scripts that are potentially confusing or malicious.
For example, the text for the domain names "оnе.example.com" and "one.example.com" look indistinguishable in many fonts, but the first one has Cyrillic letters. If your software interacted with a service on the second domain, then someone can operate a service on the first domain and attempt to fool developers into using their domain instead.
This might be through a malicious patch submission, or even text from an email or web page that they have convinced a developer to copy and paste into their code.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
filename
This is the filename of the test to add. Defaults to xt/author/mixed-unicode-scripts.t.
finder
This is the name of a FileFinder for finding files to check. The default value is :InstallModules, :ExecFiles (see also Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ExecDir) and :TestFiles.
This option can be used more than once.
Other predefined finders are listed in "default_finders" in Dist::Zilla::Role::FileFinderUser. You can define your own with the FileFinder::ByName plugin.
file
This is a filename to also test, in addition to any files found earlier.
This option can be repeated to specify multiple additional files.
exclude
This is a regular expression of filenames to exclude.
This option can be repeated to specify multiple patterns.
script
This specifies the scripts to test for. If none are specified, it defaults to the defaults for Test::MixedScripts.
KNOWN ISSUES
The default "finder" does not include XS-related files. You will have to add them manually using the "file" option, for example, in the dist.ini:
[Test::MixedScripts]
file = XS.xs
file = XS.cSOURCE
