Test::RRA::Config

(Perl test configuration)

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::RRA::Config qw($MINIMUM_VERSION);
    print "Required Perl version is $MINIMUM_VERSION\n";

Test::RRA::Config encapsulates per-package configuration for generic Perl test programs that are shared between multiple packages using the rra-c-util infrastructure. It handles locating and loading the test configuration file for both C Automake packages and stand-alone Perl modules.

Test::RRA::Config looks for a file named data/perl.conf relative to the root of the test directory. That root is taken from the environment variables C_TAP_BUILD or C_TAP_SOURCE (in that order) if set, which will be the case for C Automake packages using C TAP Harness. If neither is set, it expects the root of the test directory to be a directory named t relative to the current directory, which will be the case for stand-alone Perl modules.

The following variables are supported:

$COVERAGE_LEVEL: The coverage level achieved by the test suite for Perl test coverage testing using Test::Strict, as a percentage. The test will fail if test coverage less than this percentage is achieved. If not given, defaults to 100.
@COVERAGE_SKIP_TESTS: Directories under t whose tests should be skipped when doing coverage testing. This can be tests that won't contribute to coverage or tests that don't run properly under Devel::Cover for some reason (such as ones that use taint checking). docs and style will always be skipped regardless of this setting.
@CRITIC_IGNORE: Additional files or directories to ignore when doing recursive perlcritic testing. To ignore files that will be installed, the path should start with blib.
$LIBRARY_PATH: Add this directory (or a .libs subdirectory) relative to the top of the source tree to LD_LIBRARY_PATH when checking the syntax of Perl modules. This may be required to pick up libraries that are used by in-tree Perl modules so that Perl scripts can pass a syntax check.
$MINIMUM_VERSION: Default minimum version requirement for included Perl scripts. If not given, defaults to 5.010.
%MINIMUM_VERSION: Minimum version exceptions for specific directories. The keys should be minimum versions of Perl to enforce. The value for each key should be a reference to an array of either top-level directory names or directory names starting with tests/. All files in those directories will have that minimum Perl version constraint imposed instead of $MINIMUM_VERSION.
@MODULE_VERSION_IGNORE: File names to ignore when checking that all modules in a distribution have the same version. Sometimes, some specific modules need separate, special version handling, such as modules defining database schemata for DBIx::Class, and can't follow the version of the larger package.
@POD_COVERAGE_EXCLUDE: Regexes that match method names that should be excluded from POD coverage testing. Normally, all methods have to be documented in the POD for a Perl module, but methods matching any of these regexes will be considered private and won't require documentation.
@SPDX_IGNORE: Regexes that match files that should be excluded from SPDX license header checks, in addition to the standard exclusions. The regular expression is matched against the file path relative to the top of the source tree.
@STRICT_IGNORE: Additional directories to ignore when doing recursive Test::Strict testing for use strict and use warnings. The contents of this directory must be either top-level directory names or directory names starting with tests/.
@STRICT_PREREQ: A list of Perl modules that have to be available in order to do meaningful Test::Strict testing. If any of the modules cannot be loaded via use, Test::Strict checking will be skipped. There is currently no way to require specific versions of the modules.

No variables are exported by default, but the variables can be imported into the local namespace to avoid long variable names.
