Added HOMEPAGE.
Changes since 2.28:
2.40 Tue Dec 30 20:38:59 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Test::Harness::Straps should now properly quote on VMS.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove now takes a -l option to add lib/ to @INC. Now when you're
building a module, you don't have to do a make before you run
the prove. Thanks to David Wheeler for the idea.
[INTERNALS]
* Internal functions corestatus() and canonfailed() prepended with
underscores, to indicate such.
* Gratuitous text-only changes in Test::Harness::Iterator.
* All tests now do their use_ok() in a BEGIN block. Some of the
use_ok() calls were too much of a hassle to put into a BEGIN block,
so I changed them to regular use calls.
2.38 Mon Nov 24 22:36:18 CST 2003
Released. See changes below.
2.37_03 Tue Nov 18 23:51:38 CST 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove -V now shows the Perl version being used.
* Now there's a HARNESS_DEBUG flag that shows diagnostics as the
harness runs the tests. This is different from HARNESS_VERBOSE,
which shows test output, but not information about the harness
itself.
* Added _command_line() to the Strap API.
[FIXES]
* Bad interaction with Module::Build: The strap was only checking
$ENV{HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES} for definedness, but not emptiness.
It now also strips any leading or trailing whitesapce from the
switches.
* Test::Harness and prove only quote those parms that actually need
to be quoted: Have some whitespace and aren't already quoted.
2.36 Fri Nov 14 09:24:44 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* t/prove-includes.t properly ignores PROVE_SWITCHES that you may
already have set.
2.35_02 Thu Nov 13 09:57:36 CST 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* prove's --blib now works just like the blib pragma.
2.35_01 Wed Nov 12 23:08:45 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Fixed taint-handling and path preservation under MacOS. Thanks to
Schwern for the patch and the tests.
* Preserves case of -t or -T in the shebang line of the test.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Added -t to prove analogous to Perl's -t. Removed the --taint
switch.
* prove can take default options from the PROVE_SWITCHES variable.
* Added HARNESS_PERL to allow you to specify the Perl interpreter
to run the tests as.
* prove's --perl switch sets the HARNESS_PERL on the fly for you.
* Quotes the switches and filename in the subprogram. This helps
with filenames with spaces that are subject to shell mangling.
2.34 Sat Nov 8 22:09:15 CST 2003
[FIXES]
* Allowed prove to run on Perl versions < 5.6.0.
[ENHANCEMENTS]
* Command-line switches to prove may now be stacked.
* Added check for proper Pod::Usage version.
* "make clean" does a better job of cleaning up after itself.
2.32 Fri Nov 7 09:41:21 CST 2003
Test::Harness now includes a powerful development tool to help
programmers work with automated tests. The prove utility runs
test files against the harness, like a "make test", but with many
advantages:
* prove is designed as a development tool
Perl users typically run the test harness through a makefile via
"make test". That's fine for module distributions, but it's
suboptimal for a test/code/debug development cycle.
* prove is granular
prove lets your run against only the files you want to check.
Running "prove t/live/ t/master.t" checks every *.t in t/live, plus
t/master.t.
* prove has an easy verbose mode
To get full test program output from "make test", you must set
"HARNESS_VERBOSE" in the environment. prove has a "-v" option.
* prove can run under taint mode
prove's "-T" runs your tests under "perl -T".
* prove can shuffle tests
You can use prove's "--shuffle" option to try to excite problems
that don't show up when tests are run in the same order every time.
* Not everything is a module
More and more users are using Perl's testing tools outside the
context of a module distribution, and may not even use a makefile at
all.
Prove requires Pod::Usage, which is standard after Perl 5.004.
I'm very excited about prove, and hope that developers will begin
adopting it to their coding cycles. I welcome your comments at
andy@petdance.com.
There are also some minor bug fixes in Test::Harness itself, listed
below in the 2.31_* notes.
2.31_05 Thu Nov 6 14:56:22 CST 2003
[FIXES]
- If a MacPerl script had a shebang with -T, the -T wouldn't get
passed as a switch.
- Removed the -T on three *.t files, which didn't need them, and
which were causing problems.
- Conditionally installs bin/prove, depending on whether Pod::Usage
is available, which prove needs.
- Removed old leftover code from Makefile.PL.
2.31_04 Mon Nov 3 23:36:06 CST 2003
Minor tweaks here and there, almost ready to release.
2.31_03 Mon Nov 3 08:50:36 CST 2003
[FEATURES]
- prove is almost feature-complete. Removed the handling of
--exclude for excluding certain tests. It may go back in the
future.
- prove -d is now debug. Dry is prove -D.
2.31_02 Fri Oct 31 23:46:03 CST 2003
[FEATURES]
- Added many more switches to prove: -d for dry run, and -b for
blib.
[FIXES]
- T:H:Straps now recognizes MSWin32 in $^0.
- RT#3811: Could do regex matching on garbage in _is_test().
Fixed by Yves Orton
- RT#3827: Strips backslashes from and normalizes @INC entries
for Win32. Fixed by Yves Orton.
[INTERNALS]
- Added $self->{_is_macos} to the T:H:Strap object.
- t/test-harness.t sorts its test results, rather than relying on
internal key order.
2.31_01
[FEATURES]
- Added "prove" script to run a test or set of tests through the
harness. Thanks to Curtis Poe for the foundation.
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Fixed POD problem in Test::Harness::Assert
2.30 Thu Aug 14 20:04:00 CDT 2003
No functional changes in this version. It's only to make some doc
tweaks, and bump up the version number in T:H:Straps.
[DOCUMENTATION]
- Changed Schwern to Andy as the maintainer.
- Incorporated the TODO file into Harness.pm proper.
- Cleaned up formatting in Test::Harness::Straps.
2.29 Wed Jul 17 14:08:00 CDT 2003
- Released as 2.29.
2.28_91 Sun Jul 13 00:10:00 CDT 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Added support for HARNESS_OK_SLOW. This will make a significant
speedup for slower connections.
- Folded in some changes from bleadperl that spiff up the
failure reports.
[INTERNALS]
- Added some isa_ok() checks to the tests.
- All Test::Harness* modules are used by use_ok()
- Fixed the prototype for the canonfailed() function, not that
it matters since it's never called without parens.
2.28_90 Sat Jul 05 20:21:00 CDT 2003
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Now, when you run a test harnessed, the numbers don't fly by one
at a time, one update per second. This significantly speeds
up the run time for running thousands of tests. *COUGH*
Regexp::Common *COUGH*
