Apache::TestRun - Run the test suite
The "Apache::TestRun" package controls the configuration and running
of the test suite.
Several methods are sub-classable, if the default behavior should be changed.
The "bug_report()" method is executed when "t/TEST" was
executed with the "-bugreport" option, and "make test" (or
"t/TEST") fail. Normally this is callback which you can use to tell
the user how to deal with the problem, e.g. suggesting to read some document
or email some details to someone who can take care of it. By default nothing
is executed.
The "-bugreport" option is needed so this feature won't become
annoying to developers themselves. It's automatically added to the
"run_tests" target in
Makefile. So if you repeateadly have to
test your code, just don't use "make test" but run
"t/TEST" directly. Here is an example of a custom "t/TEST"
My::TestRun->new->run(@ARGV);
package My::TestRun;
use base 'Apache::TestRun';
sub bug_report {
my $self = shift;
print <<EOI;

| Please file a bug report: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ |

EOI
}
The "pre_configure()" method is executed before the configuration for
"Apache::Test" is generated. So if you need to adjust the setup
before
httpd.conf and other files are autogenerated, this is the right
place to do so.
For example if you don't want to inherit a LoadModule directive for
mod_apreq.so but to make sure that the local version is used, you can
sub-class "Apache::TestRun" and override this method in
t/TEST.PL:
package My::TestRun;
use base 'Apache::TestRun';
use Apache::TestConfig;
__PACKAGE__->new->run(@ARGV);
sub pre_configure {
my $self = shift;
# Don't load an installed mod_apreq
Apache::TestConfig::autoconfig_skip_module_add('mod_apreq.c');
$self->SUPER::pre_configure();
}
Notice that the extension is
.c, and not
.so.
Don't forget to run the super class' c<
pre_configure()> method.
