NAME¶

Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro

VERSION¶

version 1.28

SYNOPSIS¶

  use Test::CheckManifest;
  ok_manifest();

EXPORT¶

There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest"

METHODS¶

ok_manifest [{exclude => $arref}][$msg]¶

checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the distribution. To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named "MANIFEST". To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs in the hashref.

  ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']});

is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution). To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter"

  ok_manifest({filter => [qr/\.svn/]});

With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or in the path from the test. These files would be excluded (as examples):

•

/dist/var/.svn/test

•

/dist/lib/test.svn

You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default is 'or':

  ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'], 
               filter  => [qr/\.svn/], 
               bool    => 'and'});

These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST":

•

/var/foo/.svn/any.file

•

/dist/t/file.svn

•

/var/test/test.txt

These files not:

•

/var/test/.svn/*

•

/var/test/file.svn

EXCLUDING FILES¶

Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files: "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be excluded:

  t/my_very_own.t
  file_to.skip

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT¶

Great thanks to Christopher H. Laco, who did a lot of testing stuff for me and he reported some bugs to RT.
