Well seven more sisters to have a look at in today Dist-Pen

The plug-ins for today are

• https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Fixme


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Inline


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Kwalitee::Extra


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Legal


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::LocalBrew


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Map::Tube


• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::MinimumVersion

Fixme
A 'Release' test case that implements Test::Fixme. Well if you are the sort of programmer who loves to make comments like this

# FIXME – Replace this with a fractal algorithm

This this plug-in is for you. If you do use the many features of Test::Fixme then this would be a good way for you to integrate that test case into your distribution as it is placed in the 'xt' dir. Myself I have yet to use this style of programming os not for me right now.
Inline
A 'Module' test case for once. This plug-in enables the Test:Inline module and if you are so inclined to incorporate you tests in you POD like this

=begin testing

is(Database::Accessor::Element->aggregate()', "Avg”,'aggregate default is Avg' );

=end testing

So if your disposed to write you code in this way this is a plug-in for you. Well I don't code that way so not for me.

Kwalitee::Extra
The extended version of the 'Release' test case Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::Kwalitee which I already have in my '.ini'. For now I will just leave it out.

Legal
A 'Release' test that will implements 'Test::Legal' which ensures you have copyright, author and license files all in order. A nice one that roots though your code and tells you if you left out any of the above. I am going to give this one a try though I know my license stuff and author stuff are taken care of my some of my plug-in as right now I am not 100% sure I have a copyright notice on all my files.

After about 4 attempts to install the base Modules Test::Legal with
CPAN I finally gave that a miss and just did a manual build and install with MakeFile.PL and make install. It did finally go in after a few mins of other required installs. Finally it ended and I added in

[Test::EOF]

strict = 1

++[Test::Legal]

[Git::Check]

to my '.ini' file and gave it a go with 'dzil xtest release/t' so only that test case will run and I got;

...

xt/release/test-legal.t .. Semicolon seems to be missing at xt/release/test-legal.t line 9.

syntax error at xt/release/test-legal.t line 10, near "$@


copyright_ok"

Bareword "license_ok" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at xt/release/test-legal.t line 7.

Execution of xt/release/test-legal.t aborted due to compilation errors.

xt/release/test-legal.t .. Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)

No subtests run

Test Summary Report

-------------------

xt/release/test-legal.t (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)

  Non-zero exit status: 255

  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output

Files=2, Tests=17,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.06 usr  0.01 sys +  2.13 cusr  0.13 csys =  2.33 CPU)

Result: FAIL

So the test case code itself if failing. A quick look at the srouce and there is the culprit

plan skip_all => 'Test::Legal required for testing licenses'

  if $@

 

need a ';' at the end there. Oh well not time to day to look in deeper onto something else;

LocalBrew
A “Release' test case that will come in very handy if I want to ensure that my code will run on perl X,Y, Z Q and ₼ by utilizing Perlbrew. Well don't see my self doing that any time soon so off the the next on

Map::Tube
Well no need to even go to the CPAN entry of this one. It just intergates tests for Map::Tube not what I am doing at all

MinimumVersion
The last one for today in a 'Release' test case for Test::MinimumVersion a
quick way to discover what is the oldest perl your code can take. May be useful if my Database::Accessor ever becomes popular with many plug-ins and extensions. But not for today.

Well not the best day here in the Dist-Pen the only Test plug-in I like would not run for me. Maybe I will have better luck with the next sever sisters.
