Dist::Zilla::App::Tester(3)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Tester - testing library for Dist::Zilla::App

VERSION
version 6.037

DESCRIPTION
This module exports only one function, "test_dzil".

  "test_dzil"
This function is used to test Dist::Zilla::App. It receives two mandatory options. The first is the path to a Dist::Zilla-based distribution. The second, an array reference to a list of arguments.

The third optional argument is a hash reference, with further options. At the moment the only supported option is c<tempdir>.

It returns a Dist::Zilla::App::Tester::Result, that inherits from App::Cmd::Tester::Result. Typical methods called from this result are:

"output"
    The output of running dzil;

"tempdir"
    The folder used for temporary files.

"build_dir"
    The folder where the distribution was built.

PERL VERSION
This module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. This means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (That is, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.)

Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl.
