NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder - dist zilla subclass for building dists

VERSION

       version 5.043

ATTRIBUTES

   built_in
       This is the Path::Class::Dir, if any, in which the dist has been built.

METHODS

   from_config
         my $zilla = Dist::Zilla->from_config(\%arg);

       This routine returns a new Zilla from the configuration in the current working directory.

       This method should not be relied upon, yet.  Its semantics are certain to change.

       Valid arguments are:

         config_class - the class to use to read the config
                        default: Dist::Zilla::MVP::Reader::Finder

   build_in
         $zilla->build_in($root);

       This method builds the distribution in the given directory.  If no directory name is
       given, it defaults to DistName-Version.  If the distribution has already been built, an
       exception will be thrown.

   build
       This method just calls "build_in" with no arguments.  It gets you the default behavior
       without the weird-looking formulation of "build_in" with no object for the preposition!

   ensure_built_in
         $zilla->ensure_built_in($root);

       This method behaves like "build_in", but if the dist is already built in $root (or the
       default root, if no root is given), no exception is raised.

   ensure_built
       This method just calls "ensure_built_in" with no arguments.  It gets you the default
       behavior without the weird-looking formulation of "ensure_built_in" with no object for the
       preposition!

   dist_basename
         my $basename = $zilla->dist_basename;

       This method will return the dist's basename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01".  The basename is used
       as the top-level directory in the tarball.  It does not include "-TRIAL", even if building
       a trial dist.

   archive_filename
         my $tarball = $zilla->archive_filename;

       This method will return the filename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01.tar.gz") of the tarball of this
       distribution.  It will include "-TRIAL" if building a trial distribution, unless the
       version contains an underscore.  The tarball might not exist.

   build_archive
         $zilla->build_archive;

       This method will ensure that the dist has been built, and will then build a tarball of the
       build directory in the current directory.

   release
         $zilla->release;

       This method releases the distribution, probably by uploading it to the CPAN.  The actual
       effects of this method (as with most of the methods) is determined by the loaded plugins.

   clean
       This method removes temporary files and directories suspected to have been produced by the
       Dist::Zilla build process.  Specifically, it deletes the .build directory and any entity
       that starts with the dist name and a hyphen, like matching the glob "Your-Dist-*".

   ensure_built_in_tmpdir
         $zilla->ensure_built_in_tmpdir;

       This method will consistently build the distribution in a temporary subdirectory. It will
       return the path for the temporary build location.

   install
         $zilla->install( \%arg );

       This method installs the distribution locally.  The distribution will be built in a
       temporary subdirectory, then the process will change directory to that subdir and an
       installer will be run.

       Valid arguments are:

         keep_build_dir  - if true, don't rmtree the build dir, even if everything
                           seemed to work
         install_command - the command to run in the subdir to install the dist
                           default (roughly): $^X -MCPAN -einstall .

                           this argument should be an arrayref

   test
         $zilla->test(\%arg);

       This method builds a new copy of the distribution and tests it using "run_tests_in".

       "\%arg" may be omitted.  Otherwise, valid arguments are:

         keep_build_dir  - if true, don't rmtree the build dir, even if everything
                           seemed to work

   run_tests_in
         my $error = $zilla->run_tests_in($directory, $arg);

       This method runs the tests in $directory (a Path::Class::Dir), which must contain an
       already-built copy of the distribution.  It will throw an exception if there are test
       failures.

       It does not set any of the *_TESTING environment variables, nor does it clean up
       $directory afterwards.

   run_in_build
         $zilla->run_in_build( \@cmd );

       This method makes a temporary directory, builds the distribution there, executes all the
       dist's BuildRunners (unless directed not to, via "$arg->{build} = 0"), and then runs the
       given command in the build directory.  If the command exits non-zero, the directory will
       be left in place.
