INSTALL

$ sparrow plg install perl-harness-check

USAGE

$ cd /your/perl/source/distribution && make test 1>perl-test-report.txt 2>&1 # run perl test harness
$ cat perl-test-report.txt | sparrow plg run perl-harness-check # verify test report 

Configuration

os

Sets OS name for target server. Obligatory. Default value is minoca.

perl_version

Sets perl version. Obligatory. Default value is 5.20.1

Workflow

At the beginning you've got some tests are passed and some are failed. It's ok. Succeeded perl tests are listed in default pass list at plugin default configuration file.

Afterwards you fix some OS level bugs and believe that a related perl test issues should be gone, you can run:

$ cd /your/perl/source/distribution && make test 1>perl-test-report.txt 2>&1

$ cat perl-test-report.txt | sparrow plg run perl-harness-check --param should_pass=ext/POSIX/t/time.t 

$ cat perl-test-report.txt | sparrow plg run perl-harness-check --param should_pass=io/fs.t 

# two previous in one step:
$ cat perl-test-report.txt | sparrow plg run perl-harness-check --param should_pass=io/fs.t,ext/POSIX/t/time.t 

Ok if you really see that bugs are gone you may do one of two things:

• create pull request to add succeeded tests to default pass list.

• create custom pass list

Custom pass lists

Alternatively you may set custom list of successful tests:

$ sparrow project create minoca

$ sparrow task add minoca perl perl-harness-check 

$ sparrow task ini minoca/perl

<custom_pass_list>
  io/fs.t
  ext/POSIX/t/time.t
</custom_pass_list>

Once list is ready run sparrow task:

$ cat perl-test-report.txt | sparrow task run minoca/perl
