SYNOPSIS

  -?|-h|--help          show this help

  --server URL-or-file  set base URL of DAIA server or load PSGI script

DESCRIPTION

This script can be used to test DAIA servers. It is based on the package Plack::App::DAIA::Test::Suite, so the output of this script conforms to the Test Anything Protocol (TAP). You can provide a full test script or a DAIA server that contains its own test suite after the __END__ marker. If no file is provided, it is read from standard input. See the bottom of examples/daia-ubbielefeld.pl for an example.

A typical usage scenario for this script is:

• You implement a DAIA server, for instance in myapp.psgi and run it, for instance a http://localhost:5000/.

• You write some test suites for the DAIA server, for instance in test1.txt and test2.txt. These tests are sets of document identifiers and (partial) responses which you expect your server to return. A description of the test format is given in Plack::App::DAIA::Test::Suite.

• You run provedaia as

  provedaia --server myapp.psgi test1.txt test2.txt

  or as

  provedaia --server http://localhost:5000/ test1.txt test2.txt

  If you server implementation contains its own test suite, you can also call

  provedaia --combined myapp.psgi
