Revision history for Perl extension Test::Distribution.
1.23 - Stop using the MANIFEST list to find .pm files, just search under lib
instead. This prevents T::D from trying to use modules not for install
(e.g. under t/lib) and using them incorrectly!
Let me know if you'd like more flexiblity (e.g. to override the search
directory, and if you need to specify multiple search roots). There is a
dir option but it's not public/documented because I think I need to do a
thorough code review to make sure it works properly. As I say, let me
know if you want/need this flexibility and I shall add it to a future
release.
1.22 - .xpm files are no longer matched as modules
1.21 - Try to fix one of the windows build errors that some users see by using
Module::Signature directly instead of Test::Signature. Specifically the
use of the CANNOT_VERIFY method - as it seems one can have
Module::Signature installed without having the software which can
actually do the verification installed.
1.20 - Minor documentation updates
1.19 - Added Test::Pod::Coverage support
1.18 - Now accept file ChangeLog as an alternative to Changes
- Minor bug fix
- Thanks to Steffen Schwigon for both of these changes.
1.17 - Added the distversion option so that people can check whether $VERSION
matches the distribution version. This used to be a mandatory check but
was removed in 1.14.
1.16 - Minimum version of ExtUtils::Manifest required is 1.43.
Passthrough Makefile.PL is now generated by Module::Build and so is
up to date and now explicitly sets the build_class.
Thanks to Gabor Szabo for reporting these bugs in Test-Distribution v1.15
1.15 - Test::Distribution now uses the MANIFEST to find modules to test.
It falls back to doing a find for *.pm if no MANIFEST exists.
(thanks to Paul Hughes aka Barbie and Steffen Müller for suggesting
this)
- Added manifest test.
(thanks to patch from Jonas B.Nielsen)
1.14 - Versions test now less restrictive. It only requires each
package defined a version. The version does not need to be
the same as the distribution version. It just needs to exist
This caters for the quite valid style of using cvs versions in
individual files. Perl does not requrie all files in a dist to
have the same $VERSION. However if you think that checking against
the dist version would be a useful check for your personal style,
let me know and i'll add that check back in as an optional switch.
(thanks to Paul Hughes aka Barbie for the spot)
1.13 - Simple update of TODO which i should have done in 1.12
1.12 - prereq tests are now skipped if a Build.PL is found. Stop gap
measure till Test::Prereq has been patched.
(thanks to Paul Hughes aka Barbie)
1.11 - Removed Test::Prereq as a prerequisite as i'm not actually
using it yet
- 02extra.t is more friendly on non-Unix style platforms
(thanks to Paul Hughes aka Barbie)
1.10 - Updated TODO
1.09 - Added missing Test::Signature to requires hash in Build.PL
- Added missing SKIP block to Test::Distribution::sig::run_tests
1.08 - Updated example of 01distribution.t with code that doesn't
cause testing of the module to fail if user does not have
Test::Distribtion installed. This is good because it means
module authors who do not want to force their users to install
Test::Distribution and all of its dependencies do not have to
- Added support for sig testing via Test::Signature
1.07 - Minor POD Updates
- Description tests now allow no Makefile.PL if you have a
Build.PL. However this does not mean Module::Build
support. You still need a Makefile.PL to prevent the
PREREQ_PM tests failing. Module::Build support will
hopefully follow in a future version.
1.06 - New Maintainer/Owner: Sagar R. Shah
- Moved from ExtUtils::MakeMaker to Module::Build for building
- Tests are now run in a specific order (stops Test::Distribution
trying to evaluate $VERSION before doing a use)
- All non-core use()d modules test now has a proper test name
- Thanks to David A Golden for the patch
1.05 Mon Jul 28 11:23:45 CEST 2003
- Testing PREREQ_PM relies on Module::CoreList which, even at
the current version, doesn't know about perl 5.8.1 yet. So in
the meantime, I've added a simple check to skip PREREQ_PM testing
if $Module::CoreList::version{ $] } doesn't exist (thanks
Randal L. Schwartz and Richard Clamp).
- Testing PREREQ_PM now outputs an easy-to-understand error message
if necessary. Previously I just used Test::More's is(), which
didn't say what the test was about, just that two strings didn't
match.
1.04 Sat Jul 12 22:57:00 BST 2003
- Changed to use Test::Pod 0.95 and pod_file_ok function
instead of pod_ok to prevent deprecation warnings
(thanks Sagar Shah)
1.03 Sat Sep 7 11:37:25 CEST 2002
- added a named argument 'not' to ask not to do certain types of tests
- added test type 'prereq' that checks whether all non-provided
non-core use()d files are in Makefile.PL's PREREQ_PM
- added test type 'description' that checks whether Changes,
README, MANIFEST and Makefile.PL exist
- added checking for required modules with eval{} so we can skip
tests if necessary (thanks petdance)
- changed munging of file and directory names from regexes to
use File::Spec, to be portable
1.02 Mon Sep 2 23:26:01 CEST 2002
- changed the name to Test::Distribution as per Andy Lester's
suggestion and updated docs.
1.01 Mon Sep 2 23:26:01 CEST 2002
- added named arguments ('tests', 'only') and reflection subs
(packages(), files(), num_tests()), and docs for the same.
1.00 Mon Sep 2 15:40:21 2002
- ideas by Andy Lester and brian d foy (see
http://use.perl.org/~brian_d_foy/journal/7463)
- original version; created by h2xs 1.22 with options
