NAME¶
Test::Pod::Coverage - Check for pod coverage in your distribution.
VERSION¶
Version 1.10
SYNOPSIS¶
In one of your dist's test files (eg "t/pod-coverage.t"):
use Test::Pod::Coverage tests=>1;
pod_coverage_ok( "Foo::Bar", "Foo::Bar is covered" );
DESCRIPTION¶
Test::Pod::Coverage is used to create a test for your distribution, to ensure
that all relevant files in your distribution are appropriately documented in
pod.
Can also be called with Pod::Coverage parms.
use Test::Pod::Coverage tests=>1;
pod_coverage_ok(
"Foo::Bar",
{ also_private => [ qr/^[A-Z_]+$/ ], },
"Foo::Bar, with all-caps functions as privates",
);
The Pod::Coverage parms are also useful for subclasses that don't re-document
the parent class's methods. Here's an example from Mail::SRS.
pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS" ); # No exceptions
# Define the three overridden methods.
my $trustme = { trustme => [qr/^(new|parse|compile)$/] };
pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::DB", $trustme );
pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Guarded", $trustme );
pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Reversable", $trustme );
pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Shortcut", $trustme );
Alternately, you could use Pod::Coverage::CountParents, which always allows a
subclass to reimplement its parents' methods without redocumenting them. For
example:
my $trustparents = { coverage_class => 'Pod::Coverage::CountParents' };
pod_coverage_ok( "IO::Handle::Frayed", $trustparents );
(The "coverage_class" parameter is not passed to the coverage class
with other parameters.)
If you want POD coverage for your module, but don't want to make
Test::Pod::Coverage a prerequisite for installing, create the following as
your
t/pod-coverage.t file:
use Test::More;
eval "use Test::Pod::Coverage";
plan skip_all => "Test::Pod::Coverage required for testing pod coverage" if $@;
plan tests => 1;
pod_coverage_ok( "Pod::Master::Html");
Finally, Module authors can include the following in a
t/pod-coverage.t
file and have "Test::Pod::Coverage" automatically find and check all
modules in the module distribution:
use Test::More;
eval "use Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00";
plan skip_all => "Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00 required for testing POD coverage" if $@;
all_pod_coverage_ok();
FUNCTIONS¶
All functions listed below are exported to the calling namespace.
all_pod_coverage_ok( [$parms, ] $msg )¶
Checks that the POD code in all modules in the distro have proper POD coverage.
If the
$parms hashref if passed in, they're passed into the
"Pod::Coverage" object that the function uses. Check the
Pod::Coverage manual for what those can be.
The exception is the "coverage_class" parameter, which specifies a
class to use for coverage testing. It defaults to "Pod::Coverage".
pod_coverage_ok( $module, [$parms, ] $msg )¶
Checks that the POD code in
$module has proper POD
coverage.
If the
$parms hashref if passed in, they're passed into the
"Pod::Coverage" object that the function uses. Check the
Pod::Coverage manual for what those can be.
The exception is the "coverage_class" parameter, which specifies a
class to use for coverage testing. It defaults to "Pod::Coverage".
all_modules( [@dirs] )¶
Returns a list of all modules in
$dir and in directories
below. If no directories are passed, it defaults to
blib if
blib
exists, or
lib if not.
Note that the modules are as "Foo::Bar", not "Foo/Bar.pm".
The order of the files returned is machine-dependent. If you want them sorted,
you'll have to sort them yourself.
