Wasn't that a hit for Huy Lewis years ago ?...
I've been helping a little with the tapx project, and was unable to get
any decent coverage.
Most modules simply reported 'n/a' as their coverage for lines, branches
etc, and
Devel::Cover's html_minimal was warning of an attempt to use an un
initialised value.
The tapx team stated that they all had
Another option is to use IPC::System::Simple.
The driver script is a neat idea, I used this variation for testing my
harness wrapped around my Utils C library
Say I had C code in a Utils library, one source file which might have
this code
/**
* internal function
*/

"Fixtures is a fancy word for ‘sample data’. Fixtures allow you to populate
your testing database with predefined data before your tests run."
Think about how something like Test::MockDBI's set_retval_arry()
I know this is iseveral days old , but we in Oz get the weekend before almost
anyone else so bear with me.
When dealing with a BoM (Ball of Mud), there is a fundamental collision of two
concerns here.
1. To test the code, you need to change it.
2. Before changing the code, you should test it.
You don’t have to use objects to get the same end effects as mocking objects.
Mocking is a technique for OO code to achieve the following aim -
"the code under test should not be changed to test it"
The code _should_ (I'd prefer _must_ but lets not get into absolutes just yet)
NOT be a
Thanx, I'll update.
This was a hangover from an earlier prototype, where we actually made calls to
perltidy itself, rather than the more flexible Perl::Tidy API. As such we
didn’t detect a missing perltidy install until runtime. The current code makes
no use of the perltidy program, only the AP
Thanx for that, I'll get onto it ASAP.
And your absolutely right, I should have lowered the VERSION.pm into a safer
namespace.

The purpose of announcing this on PerlQA is that coding standards

really write something up about this since I've used it to determine Perl's
test coverage.

I'd guess it is because you are seeing the output of the code after it
has been compiled-then-decompiled - it is compiled so it can run and
coverage statistics can be collected, then it is decompiled to relate
coverage stats to code lines. Now there are many ways to write code that
compiles to
ut to no avail.
Any pointers as to how I can progress solving this ? Do you need the
core dump ?
