I would love feedback (via actual use) of a development version of Test::Most
available at http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/Test-Most-0.21_04/. If you're not
familar with it, instead of this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Test::Exception 0.29;
use Test::Differences 0.500;
use Test::Deep 0.106;
use Test::Warn 0.11;
use Test::More 0.94;
use Test::More tests => 42;
You type:
use Test::Most tests => 42;
Yes, we have strict and warnings enabled by default (this is a devel version
only and if it's causing serious pain, I might pull it).
Note the version numbers. I went through through those various test modules
and saw how many fixes and upgrades there were. As a result, I realized that if
I give people a big steaming pile of ones and zeroes, they might get frustrated
to have to upgrade all of those modules individually. So Test::Most is now "one
stop shopping". I hope to periodically release it when the modules it depends
on are upgraded.
Also, some test modules are problematic. For example:
use Moose;
use Test::Deep;
That gives you a prototype mismatch warning. So you can omit underlying modules
if needed:
use Test::Most tests => 42, '-Test::Deep';
(I'll provide a fix for the Moose/Test::Deep nit in a later release).
Side note: I believe the Test::Class::Most failures are resolved. After David
Cantrell gave me access to a server its build failed on, I found some serious
issues that forced me to rethink the module. "use feature" and "mro" were
pulled entirely.
Cheers,
