TAP::Harness::Env - Parsing harness related environmental
variables where appropriate
my $harness = TAP::Harness::Env->create(\%extra_args)
This module implements the environmental variables that
Test::Harness uses with TAP::Harness, and instantiates the appropriate class
with the appropriate arguments.
- •
- create( \%args )
This function reads the environment and generates an
appropriate argument hash from it. If given any arguments in
%extra_args, these will override the
environmental defaults. In accepts
"harness_class" (which defaults to
"TAP::Harness"), and any argument the
harness class accepts.
- "HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES"
- Setting this adds perl command line switches to each test file run.
For example,
"HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-T" will turn
on taint mode.
"HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES=-MDevel::Cover"
will run "Devel::Cover" for each
test.
- "HARNESS_VERBOSE"
- If true, "TAP::Harness" will output the
verbose results of running its tests.
- "HARNESS_SUBCLASS"
- Specifies a TAP::Harness subclass to be used in place of
TAP::Harness.
- "HARNESS_OPTIONS"
- Provide additional options to the harness. Currently supported options
are:
- "j<n>"
- Run <n> (default 9) parallel jobs.
- "c"
- Try to color output. See "new" in TAP::Formatter::Base.
- "a<file.tgz>"
- Will use TAP::Harness::Archive as the harness class, and save the TAP to
"file.tgz"
- "fPackage-With-Dashes"
- Set the formatter_class of the harness being run. Since the
"HARNESS_OPTIONS" is seperated by
":", we use
"-" instead.
Multiple options may be separated by colons:
HARNESS_OPTIONS=j9:c make test
- "HARNESS_TIMER"
- Setting this to true will make the harness display the number of
milliseconds each test took. You can also use prove's
"--timer" switch.
- "HARNESS_COLOR"
- Attempt to produce color output.
- "HARNESS_IGNORE_EXIT"
- If set to a true value instruct
"TAP::Parser" to ignore exit and wait
status from test scripts.
