DESCRIPTION

This module provides a common base for reporters on Windows. By extending this class, you get a search strategy for locating your reporter, and you don't have to worry about the details of launching a detatched child process.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

default_argv

    my $argv = $reporter->default_argv();

Retrieve the shell arguments commonly used by diff utilities.

launch

    my $received = 'test.received.txt';
    my $approved = 'test.approved.txt';
    $reporter->launch($received, $approved);

Create a detached Windows process for the diff utility, passing the new process the arguments required to compare the approved file with the received file.

locate_exe

    # Path within "Program Files"
    my $relative_path = 'DiffUtilMaker/SuperDiff';

    # Diff utility executable name
    my $exe = 'SuperDiffUtil.exe';

    my $exe_path = locate_exe($relative_path, $exe);

Search for $exe on the path, and in common locations. If not found, hope that it's underneath the Windows "Program Files" directory.

report

    my $received = 'test.received.txt';
    my $approved = 'test.approved.txt';
    $reporter->report($received, $approved);

Normalize the paths to received and approved files, then try to launch the diff utility.

DIAGNOSTICS

None at this time.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT
