NAME

6       Test::UseAllModules - do use_ok() for all the MANIFESTed modules
7

SYNOPSIS

9         # basic usage
10         use strict;
11         use Test::UseAllModules;
12
13         BEGIN { all_uses_ok(); }
14
15         # if you also want to test modules under t/lib
16         use strict;
17         use Test::UseAllModules under => qw(lib t/lib);
18
19         BEGIN { all_uses_ok(); }
20
21         # if you have modules that'll fail use_ok() for themselves
22         use strict;
23         use Test::UseAllModules;
24
25         BEGIN {
26           all_uses_ok except => qw(
27             Some::Dependent::Module
28             Another::Dependent::Module
29             ^Yet::Another::Dependent::.*   # you can use regex
30           )
31         }
32

DESCRIPTION

34       I'm sick of writing 00_load.t (or something like that) that'll do
35       use_ok() for every module I write. I'm sicker of updating 00_load.t
36       when I add another file to the distro. This module reads MANIFEST to
37       find modules to be tested and does use_ok() for each of them. Now all
38       you have to do is update MANIFEST. You don't have to modify the test
39       any more (hopefully).
40

EXPORTED FUNCTION

42   all_uses_ok
43       Does Test::More's use_ok() for every module found in MANIFEST. If you
44       have modules you don't want to test, give those modules or some regex
45       rules as the argument. The word 'except' is ignored as shown above.
46
47       As of 0.11, you can also test modules under arbitrary directories by
48       providing a directory list at the loading time (the word 'under' is
49       ignored as shown above). Modules under the lib directory are always
50       tested.
51

PROTECTED FUNCTION

53   _get_module_list
54       Returns module paths to test. This function will not be exported. If
55       you want to use this (see below), you always need to call it by the
56       full qualified name.
57

NOTES

59       As of 0.03, this module calls BAIL_OUT of Test::More if any of the
60       use_ok tests should fail. (Thus the following tests will be ignored.
61       Missing or unloadable modules cause a lot of errors of the same kind.)
62
63       As of 0.12, you can add extra tests before/after all_uses_ok() if you
64       explicitly declare test plan like this.
65
66         use strict;
67         use warnings;
68         use Test::More;
69         use Test::UseAllModules;
70         use Test::NoWarnings;
71
72         plan tests => Test::UseAllModules::_get_module_list() + 1;
73
74         all_uses_ok();
75
76         # and extra nowarnings test
77

SEE ALSO

79       There're several modules like this on the CPAN now. Test::Compile and a
80       bit confusing Test::LoadAllModules try to find modules to test by
81       traversing directories. I'm not a big fan of them as they tend to find
82       temporary or unrelated modules as well, but they may be handier
83       especially if you're too lazy to update MANIFEST every time.
