NAME

6       Test::Git - Helper functions for test scripts using Git
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Test::More;
10           use Test::Git;
11
12           # check there is a git binary available, or skip all
13           has_git();
14
15           # check there is a minimum version of git available, or skip all
16           has_git( '1.6.5' );
17
18           # check the git we want to test has a minimum version, or skip all
19           has_git( '1.6.5', { git => '/path/to/alternative/git' } );
20
21           # normal plan
22           plan tests => 2;
23
24           # create a new, empty repository in a temporary location
25           # and return a Git::Repository object
26           my $r = test_repository();
27
28           # clone an existing repository in a temporary location
29           # and return a Git::Repository object
30           my $c = test_repository( clone => [ $url ] );
31
32           # run some tests on the repository
33           ...
34

DESCRIPTION

36       Test::Git provides a number of helpful functions when running test
37       scripts that require the creation and management of a Git repository.
38

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

40   has_git
41           has_git( $version, \%options );
42
43       Checks if there is a git binary available, or skips all tests.
44
45       If the optional $version argument is provided, also checks if the
46       available git binary has a version greater or equal to $version.
47
48       This function also accepts an option hash of the same kind as those
49       accepted by Git::Repository and Git::Repository::Command.
50
51       This function must be called before "plan()", as it performs a skip_all
52       if requirements are not met.
53
54       "has_git" is now obsolete and will print a warning when used.  The
55       "test_requires_git" function provided by the Test::Requires::Git module
56       is a much more flexible replacement.
57
58       "has_git" will be removed in a future release.
59
60   test_repository
61           test_repository( %options );
62
63       Creates a new empty git repository in a temporary location, and returns
64       a Git::Repository object pointing to it.
65
66       This function takes options as a hash. Each key will influence a
67       different part of the creation process.
68
69       The keys are:
70
71       temp
72           Array reference containing parameters to File::Temp "tempdir"
73           function.
74
75           Default: "<[ CLEANUP =" 1 ]>>
76
77       init
78           Array reference containing parameters to "git init".  Must not
79           contain the target directory parameter, which is provided by
80           "test_repository()" (via File::Temp).
81
82           Default: "[]"
83
84           The "init" option is only supported with Git versions higher or
85           equal to 1.6.2.rc0.
86
87       clone
88           Array reference containing parameters to "git clone".  Must not
89           contain the target directory parameter, which is provided by
90           "test_repository()" (via File::Temp).
91
92           Note that "clone" and "init" are mutually exclusive and that
93           "test_repository()" will croak if both are provided.  This option
94           has no default value, since at least a Git URL must be provided to
95           the "clone" option.
96
97           The "clone" option is only supported with Git versions higher or
98           equal to 1.6.2.rc0.
99
100       git Hash reference containing options for Git::Repository.
101
102           Default: "{}"
103
104       This call is the equivalent of the default call with no options:
105
106           test_repository(
107               temp => [ CLEANUP => 1 ],    # File::Temp::tempdir options
108               init => [],                  # git init options
109               git  => {},                  # Git::Repository options
110           );
111
112       To create a bare repository:
113
114           test_repository( init => [ '--bare' ] );
115
116       To leave the repository in its location after the end of the test:
117
118           test_repository( temp => [ CLEANUP => 0 ] );
119
120       Note that since "test_repository()" uses "git init" to create the test
121       repository, it requires at least Git version "1.5.0.rc1".

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

127       The "clone" option and capability of "test_repository()" owes a lot to
128       Nathan Nutter (NNUTTER), who wanted to be able to clone into a test
129       repository.
