prove6 - Run tests through a TAP harness.
prove6 [options] [files or directories]
Boolean options:
-v, --verbose Print all test lines.
-l, --lib Add 'lib' to the path for your tests (-Ilib).
--shuffle Run the tests in random order.
--ignore-exit Ignore exit status from test scripts.
--reverse Run the tests in reverse order.
-q, --quiet Suppress some test output while running tests.
-Q, --QUIET Only print summary results.
--timer Print elapsed time after each test.
--trap Trap Ctrl-C and print summary on interrupt.
--help Display this help
--version Display the version
--loose Ignores subtests
Options that take arguments:
-I, --incdir Library paths to include.
-e, --exec Interpreter to run the tests ('' for compiled
tests.)
--ext Set the extensions for tests (default <t rakutest t6>)
--harness Define test harness to use. See TAP::Harness.
--reporter Result reporter to use. See REPORTERS.
-j, --jobs Run N test jobs in parallel (try 9.)
--err=stderr Direct the test's $*ERR to the harness' $*ERR.
--err=merge Merge test scripts' $*ERR with their $*OUT.
--err=ignore Ignore test script' $*ERR.
If no files or directories are supplied, prove6
looks for all files matching the pattern t/*.{t,rakutest}
.
Colored test output is the default, but if output is not to a terminal, color is disabled.
Color support requires Terminal::ANSIColor
on Unix-like platforms. If the necessary module is not installed colored output will not be available.
If the tests fail prove6
will exit with non-zero status.
Normally you can just pass a list of Raku tests and the harness will know how to execute them. However, if your tests are not written in Raku or if you want all tests invoked exactly the same way, use the -e
switch:
prove6 -e='/usr/bin/ruby -w' t/
prove6 -e='/usr/bin/perl -Tw -mstrict -Ilib' t/
prove6 -e='/path/to/my/customer/exec'
-
--err=stderr
Direct the test's
$*ERR to the harness' $ *ERR.This is the default behavior.
-
--err=merge
If you need to make sure your diagnostics are displayed in the correct order relative to test results you can use the
--err=merge
option to merge the test scripts'$*ERR into their $ *OUT.This guarantees that
$*OUT (where the test results appear) and $ *ERR (where the diagnostics appear) will stay in sync. The harness will display any diagnostics your tests emit on $*ERR.Caveat: this is a bit of a kludge. In particular note that if anything that appears on $*ERR looks like a test result the test harness will get confused. Use this option only if you understand the consequences and can live with the risk.
PS: Currently not supported.
-
--err=ignore
Ignore the test script' $*ERR
The --trap
option will attempt to trap SIGINT (Ctrl-C) during a test run and display the test summary even if the run is interrupted
prove6
introduces a separation between "options passed to the raku which runs prove" and "options passed to the raku which runs tests"; this distinction is by design. Thus the raku which is running a test starts with the default $*REPO
. Additional library directories can be added via the RAKUDOLIB
environment variable, via -Ifoo in PERL6OPT
or via the -Ilib
option to prove6
.
