PHERKIN(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation PHERKIN(1p)

NAME

pherkin - Execute tests written using Test::BDD::Cucumber

VERSION

version 0.26

SYNOPSIS

 pherkin
 pherkin some/path/features/

DESCRIPTION

"pherkin" accepts a single argument of a directory name, defaulting to "./features/" if none is specified. This directory is searched for feature files (any file matching "*.feature") and step definition files (any file matching "*_steps.pl"). The step definitions are loaded, and then the features executed.
Steps that pass are printed in green, those that fail in red, and those for which there is no step definition - or that are skipped as the result of a previous failure - as yellow.
"pherkin" will exit with a non-zero status if (and only if) the overall result is considered to be failing.

OPTIONS

 -l, --lib              Add 'lib' to @INC
 -b, --blib             Add 'blib/lib' and 'blib/arch' to @INC
 -I [dir]               Add given directory to @INC
 -o, --output           Output harness to use. Default to 'TermColor'. See 'Outputs'
 -t, --tags @tag        Run scenarios tagged with '@tag'
 -t, --tags @tag1,@tag2 Run scenarios tagged with '@tag1' and '@tag2'
 -t, --tags ~@tag       Run scenarios tagged without '@tag'
 --i18n LANG            List keywords for a particular language.
                        '--i18n help' lists all languages available.

OUTPUTS

"pherkin" can output using any of the "Test::BDD::Cucumber::Harness" output modules. Test::BDD::Cucumber::TermColor is the default, but Test::BDD::Cucumber::TestBuilder is also a reasonable option: 
  pherkin -o TermColor some/path/feature   # The default
  pherkin -o TestBuilder some/path/feature # Test::Builder-type text output
