NAME

6       Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro
7

VERSION

9       version 1.42
10

SYNOPSIS

12         use Test::CheckManifest;
13         ok_manifest();
14
15   EXPORT
16       There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest"
17

METHODS

19   ok_manifest   [{exclude => $arref}][$msg]
20       checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a
21       distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the
22       distribution.
23
24       To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named
25       "MANIFEST".
26
27       To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs
28       in the hashref.
29
30         ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']});
31
32       is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in
33       the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array
34       must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution).
35
36       To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter"
37
38         ok_manifest({filter => [qr/\.svn/]});
39
40       With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or
41       in the path from the test.
42
43       These files would be excluded (as examples):
44
45       ·   /dist/var/.svn/test
46
47       ·   /dist/lib/test.svn
48
49       You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default
50       is 'or':
51
52         ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'],
53                      filter  => [qr/\.svn/],
54                      bool    => 'and'});
55
56       These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST":
57
58       ·   /var/foo/.svn/any.file
59
60       ·   /dist/t/file.svn
61
62       ·   /var/test/test.txt
63
64       These files not:
65
66       ·   /var/test/.svn/*
67
68       ·   /var/test/file.svn
69
70       By default, "ok_manifest" will look for the file "MANIFEST" in the
71       current working directory (which is how tests are traditionally run).
72       If you wish to specify a different directory, you may pass the "file"
73       or "dir" parameters, for example:
74
75         ok_manifest({dir => '/path/to/my/dist/'});
76

EXCLUDING FILES

78       Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files:
79       "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be excluded:
80
81         t/my_very_own.t
82         file_to.skip
83

REPLACE THIS MODULE

85       You can replace the test scripts using "Test::CheckManifest" with this
86       one using ExtUtils::Manifest.
87
88           use Test::More tests => 2;
89           use ExtUtils::Manifest;
90
91           is_deeply [ ExtUtils::Manifest::manicheck() ], [], 'missing';
92           is_deeply [ ExtUtils::Manifest::filecheck() ], [], 'extra';
93

95       CheckManifest/issues/20>).
