=head1 NAME
ctgetreports - Quickly fetch cpantesters results with all reports
=head1 SYNOPSIS
ctgetreports [options] distroname
ctgetreports [options] --report number ...
ctgetreports -h
=head1 OPTIONS
A distroname is unversioned, e.g. C<IPC-Run>. For versioned names as
in C<IPC-Run-0.80> see --vdistro.
=over 2
=cut
my $optpod = <<'=back';
=item B<--cachedir=s>
Directory to keep mirrored data in. Defaults to C<$HOME/var/cpantesters>.
=item B<--ctdb=s>
If you have your own copy of the cpan testers I<cpanstats> database
you can use this to set the path to the database. Must not be used
together with C<--cturl>. Requires
C<CPAN::WWW::Testers::Generator::Database> and C<CPAN::DistnameInfo>
installed.
=item B<--cturl=s>
Base URL of the cpantesters website. Defaults to
C<http://static.cpantesters.org/show>.
=item B<--dumpfile=s>
If dumpvars are specified, dump them into this file. Defaults to "ctgetreports.out".
=item B<--dumpvars=s>
Dump all queryable variables matching the regular expression given as
argument at the end of the loop for a distro.
=item B<--filtercb=s>
A callback that is called at the end of parse_report(). It allows to
manipulate the result, e.g. change the resulting values or add
calculated values. The callback function gets a record (hashref) as
the only argument. The return value is ignored. The callback is pure
perl code without any surrounding sub declaration.
Compared to the C<--ycb> callback described below C<--filtercb> is
considered easier to use.
The following example excludes reports by the user C<jack.blacksmoke>
from regression testing:
ctgetreport --q --solve --filtercb '
my $rec = shift;
$rec->{"meta:ok"}="FILTERED" if $rec->{"meta:from"} =~ /jack.blacksmoke/;
' String-RewritePrefix-0.005
=item B<--help|h>
Prints a brief message and exists.
=item B<--interactive|i>
After every parsed report asks if you want to see it in a pager.
=item B<--local>
Do not mirror, use a local *.yaml file. Dies if the YAML file
is missing, skips missing report files.
=item B<--minfail=i>
Same thing as --minpass but for fail reports.
Default value is the value of --minpass; if this is missing, no
default applies.
=item B<--minpass=i>
If --sample is set, then it could happen that randomness strikes
unluckily and the sample ends without a pass report. For the --solve
option this would then have the consequence that it cannot succeed. By
setting a minpass, the sample size is iteratively increased by small
steps until the number of passes is equal to this option or higher.
No default.
If --sample is not set, --minpass and --minfail are ignored.
=item B<--pager=s>
Pager (needed when -i is given). Defaults to C<less>.
=item B<--parse-common-errors|pce>
While the C<<--q qr:...> syntax ultimately offers free parsing it is
cumbersome to use. The C<--parse-common-errors> option is a
placeholder for a variety of frequent errors to watch. Currently it
stands for the following additional options:
-q qr:(Failed test\s+\S+.*)
-q qr:(Failed to load .*)
-q qr:(Can't load .*)
-q qr:((?i:.*could.?n.t find.*))
-q qr:(Can't locate object method .+)
-q qr:(Can't locate \S+pm)
-q qr:(Please\s+install\s+\S+)
-q qr:(You tried to run a test without a plan.*)
-q qr:(.*Server didn't start.*)
-q qr:(You planned.*)
This list is subject to change in future releases.
=item B<--prefer-local-reports|plr>
Boolean. If true, we skip downloading of reports from cpantesters when
the file that is designated to be the local target of the mirror
command already exists. This is highly recommended since it has been
observed (2011-11) that cpantesters is not sending Last-Modified
headers for reports and does not send a 304 on requests with an
If-Modified-Since header. But even when the HTTP handling becomes more
efficient at cpantesters main site, this parameter should lower the
burden on them and reduce the latency on the mirror side considerably.
=item B<--q=s@>
Query, may be repeated.
Example: C<--q mod:Clone --q meta:writer>
=item B<--quiet!>
Do not output the usual query lines per parsed report. Quiet
overrules verbose.
=item B<--raw!>
Boolean which, if set, causes the full (HTML) report to be
concatenated to STDOUT after every status line.
=item B<--report=s@>
Avert going through a cpan testers index, go straight to the report
with this number.
Example: C<--report 1238673>
If report is set and dumpvars is not set, dumpvars will be set to a
dot (meaning that all variables shall be dumped into dumpfile).
=item B<--sample=i>
Limit the number of reports to be analyzed. If the total number of
reports is lower than or equal to the value specifed here then the
option is ignored and all available reports will be used. Only if the
total number of reports is larger than specified then the number of
reports will be sampled randomly to the demanded sample size. Useful
to limit the computing power needed for a result.
See also --minpass and --minfail.
=item B<--solve!>
Calls the solve function which tries to identify the best contenders
for a blame using Statistics::Regression. Currently only limited to
single variables and with simple heuristics. Implies C<--dumpvars=.>
unless the caller sets dumpvars himself.
The function prints at the moment to STDOUT the top 3 (set with
C<--solvetop>) candidates according to R^2 with their regression
analysis.
A few words of advise: do not take the results as a prove ever. Take
them just as a hint where you can most probably prove a causal
relationship. And keep in mind that causal relationships can be the
other direction as well.
If you want to extend on that approach, I recommend you study the
ctgetreports.out file where you find all the data you'd need and feed
your assumptions to Statistics::Regression.
=item B<--solvetop=i>
The number of top candidates from the C<--solve> regression analysis
to display.
=item B<--transport=s>
Specifies transport to get the reports. Defaults to C<http_cpantesters>.
C<http_cpantesters> uses LWP::UserAgent at static.cpantesters.org.
C<http_cpantesters_gzip> also uses LWP::UserAgent at
static.cpantesters.org but compresses the fetched result after fetching
and decompresses cached results before mirroring. This option
requires that C<Compress::Zlib> is installed.
=item B<--vdistro=s>
Versioned distro, e.g.
IPC-Run-0.80
or
Moose-2.1103-TRIAL
This is the way to target a version different from the most recent
one.
In the case that the command line argument already contains an easy to
recognize version as in C<IPC-Run-0.80>, that argument is split and
ctgetreports Foo-Bar-3.14
is equivalent to
ctgetreports --vdistro=Foo-Bar-3.14 Foo-Bar
Note, that there may be distributions on CPAN where the trivial
splitting implemented in ctgetreports does not work.
=item B<--verbose|v+>
Feedback during download.
=item B<--ycb=s>
Only used during --solve. Provides perl code to be used as a callback
from the regression to determine the B<Y> of the regression equation.
The callback function gets a record (hashref) as the only argument and
must return a value or undefined. If it returns undefined, the record
is skipped, otherwise this record is processed with the returned
value. The callback is pure perl code without any surrounding sub
declaration.
The following example analyses diagnostic output from Acme-Study-Perl:
ctgetreports --q qr:"#(.*native big math float/int.*)" --solve \
--ycb 'my $rec = shift;
my $nbfi = $rec->{"qr:#(.*native big math float/int.*)"};
return undef unless defined $nbfi;
my $VAR1 = eval($nbfi);
return $VAR1->{">"}' Acme-Study-Perl

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The intent is to get at both the summary at cpantesters and the
individual reports and parse the reports and collect the data for
further inspection.
We always only fetch the reports for the most recent (optionally
picked) release. Target root directory is C<$HOME/var/cpantesters>
(can be overridden with the --cachedir option).
The C<--q> paramater can be repeated. It takes one argument which
stands for a query. This query must consist of two parts, a qualifier
and the query itself. Qualifiers are one of the following
conf parameters from the output of 'perl -V'
e.g.: conf:usethreads, conf:cc
mod for installed modules, either from prerequisites or from the toolchain
e.g.: mod:Test::Simple, mod:Imager
env environment variables
e.g.: env:TERM
meta all other parameters
e.g.: meta:perl, meta:from, meta:date, meta:writer
qr boolean set if the appended regexp matches the report
e.g.: qr:'division by zero'
The conf parameters specify a word used by the C<Config> module.
The mod parameters consist of a package name.
The meta parameters are the following: C<perl> for the perl version,
C<from> for the sender of the report, C<date> for the date in the mail
header, C<writer> for the module that produced the report,
C<output_from> for the line that is reported to have produced the output.
=head2 Examples
This gets all recent reports for Object-Relation and outputs the
version number of the prerequisite Clone:
$0 --q mod:Clone Object-Relation
Collects reports about Clone and reports the default set of metadata:
$0 Clone
Collect reports for Devel-Events and report the version number of
Moose in thses reports and sort by success/failure. If Moose broke
Devel-Events is becomes pretty obvious:
$0 --q mod:Moose Devel-Events |sort
Which tool was used to write how many reports, sorted by frequency:
$0 --q meta:writer Template-Timer | sed -e 's/.*meta:writer//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
Who was in the From field of the mails whose report writer was not determined:
$0 --q meta:writer --q meta:from Template-Timer | grep 'UNDEF'
At the time of this writing this collected the results of
IPC-Run-0.80_91 which was not really the latest release. In this case
manual investigations were necessary to find out that 0.80 was the
most recent:
$0 IPC-Run
Pick the specific release IPC-Run-0.80:
$0 IPC-Run-0.80
The following displays in its own column if the report contains the
regexp C<division by zero>:
$0 --q qr:"division by zero" CPAN-Testers-ParseReport-0.0.7
The following is a simple job to refresh all HTML pages we already
have and fetch new reports referenced there too:
perl -le '
for my $dirent (glob "$ENV{HOME}/var/cpantesters/cpantesters-show/*.html"){
my($distro) = $dirent =~ m|/([^/]+)\.html$| or next;
print $distro;
my $system = "ctgetreports --verbose --verbose $distro";
0 == system $system or die;
}'
