619=head1 NAME
620
621Test::Harness - run perl standard test scripts with statistics
622
623=head1 SYNOPSIS
624
37ce32a7 625 use Test::Harness;
cb1a09d0 626
37ce32a7 627 runtests(@test_files);
cb1a09d0 628
629=head1 DESCRIPTION
630
9c5c68c8 631(By using the Test module, you can write test scripts without
7b13a3f5 632knowing the exact output this module expects. However, if you need to
633know the specifics, read on!)
634
cb1a09d0 635Perl test scripts print to standard output C<"ok N"> for each single
636test, where C<N> is an increasing sequence of integers. The first line
c0ee6f5c 637output by a standard test script is C<"1..M"> with C<M> being the
cb1a09d0 638number of tests that should be run within the test
c0ee6f5c 639script. Test::Harness::runtests(@tests) runs all the testscripts
cb1a09d0 640named as arguments and checks standard output for the expected
641C<"ok N"> strings.
642
c0ee6f5c 643After all tests have been performed, runtests() prints some
cb1a09d0 644performance statistics that are computed by the Benchmark module.
645
6c31b336 646=head2 The test script output
647
37ce32a7 648The following explains how Test::Harness interprets the output of your
649test program.
650
9c5c68c8 651=over 4
652
bbc7dcd2 653=item B<'1..M'>
9c5c68c8 654
655This header tells how many tests there will be. It should be the
656first line output by your test program (but its okay if its preceded
657by comments).
658
659In certain instanced, you may not know how many tests you will
660ultimately be running. In this case, it is permitted (but not
661encouraged) for the 1..M header to appear as the B<last> line output
662by your test (again, it can be followed by further comments). But we
663strongly encourage you to put it first.
664
665Under B<no> circumstances should 1..M appear in the middle of your
666output or more than once.
667
668
669=item B<'ok', 'not ok'. Ok?>
670
6c31b336 671Any output from the testscript to standard error is ignored and
672bypassed, thus will be seen by the user. Lines written to standard
c0ee6f5c 673output containing C</^(not\s+)?ok\b/> are interpreted as feedback for
674runtests(). All other lines are discarded.
6c31b336 675
9c5c68c8 676C</^not ok/> indicates a failed test. C</^ok/> is a successful test.
677
678
679=item B<test numbers>
680
681Perl normally expects the 'ok' or 'not ok' to be followed by a test
682number. It is tolerated if the test numbers after 'ok' are
683omitted. In this case Test::Harness maintains temporarily its own
684counter until the script supplies test numbers again. So the following
685test script
6c31b336 686
687 print <<END;
688 1..6
689 not ok
690 ok
691 not ok
692 ok
693 ok
694 END
695
d667a7e6 696will generate
6c31b336 697
698 FAILED tests 1, 3, 6
699 Failed 3/6 tests, 50.00% okay
700
9c5c68c8 701
702=item B<$Test::Harness::verbose>
703
6c31b336 704The global variable $Test::Harness::verbose is exportable and can be
c0ee6f5c 705used to let runtests() display the standard output of the script
6c31b336 706without altering the behavior otherwise.
707
9c5c68c8 708=item B<$Test::Harness::switches>
709
fb73857a 710The global variable $Test::Harness::switches is exportable and can be
711used to set perl command line options used for running the test
712script(s). The default value is C<-w>.
713
9c5c68c8 714=item B<Skipping tests>
715
37ce32a7 716If the standard output line contains the substring C< # Skip> (with
fac76ed7 717variations in spacing and case) after C<ok> or C<ok NUMBER>, it is
9c5c68c8 718counted as a skipped test. If the whole testscript succeeds, the
719count of skipped tests is included in the generated output.
e1194749 720C<Test::Harness> reports the text after C< # Skip\S*\s+> as a reason
37ce32a7 721for skipping.
722
723 ok 23 # skip Insufficient flogiston pressure.
724
725Similarly, one can include a similar explanation in a C<1..0> line
726emitted if the test script is skipped completely:
45c0de28 727
728 1..0 # Skipped: no leverage found
729
37ce32a7 730=item B<Todo tests>
731
732If the standard output line contains the substring C< # TODO> after
733C<not ok> or C<not ok NUMBER>, it is counted as a todo test. The text
734afterwards is the thing that has to be done before this test will
735succeed.
736
737 not ok 13 # TODO harness the power of the atom
738
739These tests represent a feature to be implemented or a bug to be fixed
740and act as something of an executable "thing to do" list. They are
741B<not> expected to succeed. Should a todo test begin succeeding,
742Test::Harness will report it as a bonus. This indicates that whatever
743you were supposed to do has been done and you should promote this to a
744normal test.
745
9c5c68c8 746=item B<Bail out!>
747
d667a7e6 748As an emergency measure, a test script can decide that further tests
749are useless (e.g. missing dependencies) and testing should stop
750immediately. In that case the test script prints the magic words
751
752 Bail out!
753
754to standard output. Any message after these words will be displayed by
755C<Test::Harness> as the reason why testing is stopped.
756
9c5c68c8 757=item B<Comments>
758
759Additional comments may be put into the testing output on their own
760lines. Comment lines should begin with a '#', Test::Harness will
761ignore them.
762
763 ok 1
764 # Life is good, the sun is shining, RAM is cheap.
765 not ok 2
766 # got 'Bush' expected 'Gore'

9c5c68c8 769
cb1a09d0 770=head1 EXPORT
771
c0ee6f5c 772C<&runtests> is exported by Test::Harness per default.
cb1a09d0 773
9c5c68c8 774C<$verbose> and C<$switches> are exported upon request.
775
776
cb1a09d0 777=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
778
779=over 4
780
781=item C<All tests successful.\nFiles=%d, Tests=%d, %s>
782
783If all tests are successful some statistics about the performance are
784printed.
785
6c31b336 786=item C<FAILED tests %s\n\tFailed %d/%d tests, %.2f%% okay.>
787
788For any single script that has failing subtests statistics like the
789above are printed.
790
791=item C<Test returned status %d (wstat %d)>
792
9c5c68c8 793Scripts that return a non-zero exit status, both C<$? E<gt>E<gt> 8>
794and C<$?> are printed in a message similar to the above.
6c31b336 795
796=item C<Failed 1 test, %.2f%% okay. %s>
cb1a09d0 797
6c31b336 798=item C<Failed %d/%d tests, %.2f%% okay. %s>
cb1a09d0 799
800If not all tests were successful, the script dies with one of the
801above messages.
802
d667a7e6 803=item C<FAILED--Further testing stopped%s>
804
805If a single subtest decides that further testing will not make sense,
806the script dies with this message.

9b0ceca9 810=head1 ENVIRONMENT
811
37ce32a7 812=over 4
813
814=item C<HARNESS_IGNORE_EXITCODE>
815
816Makes harness ignore the exit status of child processes when defined.
817
818=item C<HARNESS_NOTTY>
9b0ceca9 819
37ce32a7 820When set to a true value, forces it to behave as though STDOUT were
821not a console. You may need to set this if you don't want harness to
822output more frequent progress messages using carriage returns. Some
823consoles may not handle carriage returns properly (which results in a
824somewhat messy output).
0d0c0d42 825
37ce32a7 826=item C<HARNESS_COMPILE_TEST>
9636a016 827
37ce32a7 828When true it will make harness attempt to compile the test using
829C<perlcc> before running it.
830
831=item C<HARNESS_FILELEAK_IN_DIR>
832
833When set to the name of a directory, harness will check after each
834test whether new files appeared in that directory, and report them as
17a79f5b 835
836 LEAKED FILES: scr.tmp 0 my.db
837
838If relative, directory name is with respect to the current directory at
839the moment runtests() was called. Putting absolute path into
840C<HARNESS_FILELEAK_IN_DIR> may give more predicatable results.
841
37ce32a7 842=item C<HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES>
843
844Its value will be prepended to the switches used to invoke perl on
845each test. For example, setting C<HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES> to "-W" will
846run all tests with all warnings enabled.
847
848=item C<HARNESS_COLUMNS>
849
850This value will be used for the width of the terminal. If it is not
851set then it will default to C<COLUMNS>. If this is not set, it will
852default to 80. Note that users of Bourne-sh based shells will need to
853C<export COLUMNS> for this module to use that variable.
2b32313b 854
37ce32a7 855=item C<HARNESS_ACTIVE>
856
857Harness sets this before executing the individual tests. This allows
858the tests to determine if they are being executed through the harness
859or by any other means.

879=head1 BUGS
880
881Test::Harness uses $^X to determine the perl binary to run the tests
6c31b336 882with. Test scripts running via the shebang (C<#!>) line may not be
883portable because $^X is not consistent for shebang scripts across
cb1a09d0 884platforms. This is no problem when Test::Harness is run with an
6c31b336 885absolute path to the perl binary or when $^X can be found in the path.
