Hello,
I'm in the process of switching over to Test::Class and prove, after
naively inventing my own versions of these. :)
One feature I had with my solution was command-line switches to
choose which classes and methods to run. For example,
runtests.pl -t Session -m basic
This would run any method matching "basic" in any test classes
matching "Session". Often I used this just to test a single class and
method, but it was really nice to be able to type a small piece of
the name.
AFAICT, the way I would to this with Test::Class and prove is:
* Set the TEST_METHOD environment variable.
* Pass a classname to prove, as outlined in the Test::Class::Load
documentation (e.g. "prove -lv -It/tests Some::Test::Class"). I
really don't understand how this works, since the prove documentation
mentions nothing about taking classnames as arguments; and in any
case this doesn't allow regexes.
I'm wondering if any Test::Class (or Test::Unit, etc.) users out
there have yearned for a more convenient way to specify which classes
and methods to run, and if there's any reasonable way to add this
capability to prove, given that the options would make no sense for
traditional non-class tests.
Thanks,
Jon
