NAME¶
File::HomeDir::Test - Prevent the accidental creation of user-owned files during
testing
SYNOPSIS¶
use Test::More test => 1;
use File::HomeDir::Test;
use File::HomeDir;
DESCRIPTION¶
File::HomeDir::Test is a File::HomeDir driver intended for use in the
test scripts of modules or applications that write files into user-owned
directories.
It is designed to prevent the pollution of user directories with files that are
not part of the application install itself, but were created during testing.
These files can leak state information from the tests into the run-time usage
of an application, and on Unix systems also prevents tests (which may be
executed as root via sudo) from writing files which cannot later be modified
or removed by the regular user.
SUPPORT¶
See the support section of the main File::HomeDir documentation.
