NAME

       Test::Fixme - Check code for FIXMEs.

VERSION

       version 0.15

SYNOPSIS

        # In a test script like 't/test-fixme.t'
        use Test::Fixme;
        run_tests();

        # You can also tailor the behaviour.
        use Test::Fixme;
        run_tests( where    => 'lib',      # where to find files to check
                   match    => 'TODO',     # what to check for
                   skip_all => $ENV{SKIP}  # should all tests be skipped
        );

DESCRIPTION

       When coding it is common to come up against problems that need to be addressed but that
       are not a big deal at the moment. What generally happens is that the coder adds comments
       like:

        # FIXME - what about windows that are bigger than the screen?

        # FIXME - add checking of user privileges here.

       Test::Fixme allows you to add a test file that ensures that none of these get forgotten in
       the module.

METHODS

   run_tests
       By default run_tests will search for 'FIXME' in all the files it can find in the project.
       You can change these defaults by using 'where' or 'match' as follows:

        run_tests( where => 'lib', # just check the modules.
                   match => 'TODO' # look for things that are not done yet.
        );

       where
           Specifies where to search for files.  This can be a scalar containing a single
           directory name, or it can be a list reference containing multiple directory names.

       match
           Expression to search for within the files.  This may be a simple string, or a
           qr//-quoted regular expression.  For example:

            match => qr/[T]ODO|[F]IXME|[B]UG/,

       filename_match
           Expression to filter file names.  This should be a qr//-quoted regular expression.
           For example:

            match => qr/\.(:pm|pl)$/,

           would only match .pm and .pl files under your specified directory.

       manifest
           Specifies the name of your MANIFEST file which will be used as the list of files to
           test instead of where or filename_match.

            manifest => 'MANIFEST',

       warn
           Do not fail when a FIXME or other pattern is matched.  Tests that would have been
           failures will still issue a diagnostic that will be viewed when you run "prove"
           without "-v", "make test" or "./Build test".

       format
           Specifies format to be used for display of pattern matches.

           original
               The original and currently default format looks something like this:

                # File: './lib/Test/Fixme.pm'
                #     16      # ABSTRACT: Check code for FIXMEs.
                #     25          $args{match} = 'FIXME' unless defined $args{match} && length $args{match};
                #     28          $args{format} ||= $ENV{TEST_FIXME_FORMAT};
                #     228      # FIXME - what about windows that are bigger than the screen?
                #     230      # FIXME - add checking of user privileges here.
                #     239     By default run_tests will search for 'FIXME' in all the files it can
                #     280     Do not fail when a FIXME or other pattern is matched.  Tests that would
                #     288     If you want to match something other than 'FIXME' then you may find
                #     296      run_tests( skip_all => $ENV{SKIP_TEST_FIXME} );
                #     303     L<Devel::FIXME>

               With the line numbers on the left and the offending text on the right.

           perl
               The "perl" format is that used by Perl itself to report warnings and errors.

                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 16:
                #  # ABSTRACT: Check code for FIXMEs.
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 25:
                #      $args{match} = 'FIXME' unless defined $args{match} && length $args{match};
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 28:
                #      $args{format} ||= $ENV{TEST_FIXME_FORMAT};
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 228:
                #   # FIXME - what about windows that are bigger than the screen?
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 230:
                #   # FIXME - add checking of user privileges here.
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 239:
                #  By default run_tests will search for 'FIXME' in all the files it can
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 280:

                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 288:
                #  If you want to match something other than 'FIXME' then you may find
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 296:
                #   run_tests( skip_all => $ENV{SKIP_TEST_FIXME} );
                # Pattern found at ./lib/Test/Fixme.pm line 303:
                #  L<Devel::FIXME>

               For files that contain many offending patterns it may be a bit harder to read for
               humans, but easier to parse for IDEs.

           You may also use the "TEST_FIXME_FORMAT" environment variable to override either the
           default or the value specified in the test file.

HINTS

       If you want to match something other than 'FIXME' then you may find that the test file
       itself is being caught. Try doing this:

        run_tests( match => 'TO'.'DO' );

       You may also wish to suppress the tests - try this:

        use Test::Fixme;
        run_tests( skip_all => $ENV{SKIP_TEST_FIXME} );

       You can only run run_tests once per file. Please use several test files if you want to run
       several different tests.

       Dave O'Neill added support for 'filename_match' and also being able to pass a list of
       several directories in the 'where' argument. Many thanks.
