Yes, and I can't know what it is ahead of time. I don't expect that this would work:

ServerRoot @ServerRoot@/..

either at run-time:

t/TEST -serverroot /my/server/root

or in your t/TEST script:

$Apache::TestConfig::Argv{serverroot} = "/my/server/root";

or in your Makefile.PL:

push @ARGV, qw(-serverroot /my/server/root);
Apache::TestMM::filter_args();
Apache::TestMM::generate_script(t/TEST);

I haven't tested that, but it should work just like all other overrides, no? t/TEST --help shows all the available options

is there some reason that you want to backtrack to t/ in your test scripts? for the most part, I put things I need under t/, including libraries and other cruft, so that everything is relative to the default ServerRoot setting.


I _do_ want t to be the ServerRoot. But I _don't_ want t/ to be cwd for all of the tests that run (t/*.t). cwd during `make test` should be the package root directory. For example, I have a test script, t/01basic.t, that opens the error log to look for error messages from the Apache test server. Under Apache::test (and any other CPAN test suite that runs via Perl's usual `make test`), I would have to open it like this:

  open ERR, 't/logs/error_log' or die "Can't do it: $!\n";

However, under the default `make test` with Apache::Test, it changes the cwd to t. This is not where CPAN modules should be tested from. It forces me to open the error log like this, instead:

  open ERR, 'logs/error_log' or die "Can't do it: $!\n";

That's what I think should be changed.

Hope I've explained it better this time! :-)

don't rely on cwd, use the full path:

  my $vars = Apache::Test::vars();
  my $path = catfile $vars->{serverroot}, qw(logs error_log);

Does that solve your problem?
