I wanted to share with you a new experimental project which could allow you to mock file tests also known as -X.
All started while we initiate a larger discussion about testing, and decided to give a size to our unit tests. Using sizes like the ones used for t-shirt: Small, Medium, Large...
The definition for each size might differ and evolve.
But at one point we were considering that a small test should not have any interactions with the file system....
So how could you test such a function, without any in…
Dist::Zilla is a great tool... but its main weakness is nearly its main advantage...
but on the other side, installing all the plugins and their dependencies is painful and can be very slow...
It's acceptable to install all these packages that are going to let you save time while developing and releasing your distro.... but contributors and Travis CI should not be slowed down by requiring the installation of these extra packages...
