NAME

Test::Dependencies - Ensure that the dependency listing is complete

VERSION

Version 0.23

SYNOPSIS

In your t/00-dependencies.t:

    use CPAN::Meta;  # or CPAN::Meta::cpanfile
    use File::Find::Rule::Perl;
    use Test::Dependencies exclude =>
      [qw/ Your::Namespace Some::Other::Namespace /];

    my $meta = CPAN::Meta->load_file('META.yml');
    die "No META.yml" if ! $meta;

    my @files =
       File::Find::Rule::Perl->perl_files->in('./lib', './bin');

    ok_dependencies($meta, \@files);

DESCRIPTION

Makes sure that all of the modules that are 'use'd are listed in the Makefile.PL as dependencies.

OPTIONS

DEPRECATED You can pass options to the module via the 'use' line. These options will be moved to the ok_dependencies() function. The available options are:

exclude

Specifies the list of namespaces for which it is ok not to have specified dependencies.

style

Specifies the style of module usage checking to use. There are two valid values: "light" and "heavy". The default is heavy. The light style uses regular expressions to try and guess which modules are required. It is fast, but can get confused by here-docs, multi-line strings, data sections, etc. The heavy style actually compiles the file and asks perl which modules were used. It is slower than the light style, but much more accurate. If you have a very large project and you don't want to wait for the heavy style every time you run "make test," you might want to try the light style or look into the overrides below.

Whether a style is specified or not, the style used can be overridden by the environment variable TDSTYLE. This is useful, for example, if you want the heavy style to be used normally, but don't want to take the time checking dependencies on your smoke test server.

Example usage:

  use Test::Dependencies
    exclude => ['Test::Dependencies'],
    style => 'light';

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

ok_dependencies($meta, $files, $phases, $features, %options)

 $meta is a CPAN::Meta object
 $files is an arrayref with files to be scanned

%options keys

phases

This is an arrayref holding one or more names of phases as defined by CPAN::Meta::Spec, or undef for all

features

This is an arrayref holding zero or more names of features, or undef for all

ignores

This is a hashref listing the names of modules (and their sub-namespaces) for which no errors are to be reported.

ok_dependencies()

Deprecated. Legacy invocation to be removed. In previous versions, this function would scan the entire bin/, lib/ and t/ subtrees, with the exception of a few sub-directories known to be used by version control systems.

This behaviour has been changed: as of 0.20, Find::File::Rule::Perl is being used to find Perl files (*.pl, *.pm, *.t and those starting with a shebang line referring to perl).
