NAME

       Arch::Test::Framework - A test framework for Arch-Perl

SYNOPSIS

           use Arch::Test::Framework;

           my $fw = Arch::Test::Framework->new;

           my $archive = $fw->make_archive;
           my $version = $archive->make_version();

           my $tree = $fw->make_tree($version);

           #
           # do something with $tree
           #

           $tree->import('initial import');

DESCRIPTION

       Arch::Test::Framework is a framework to quickly generate testing data (archives, versions,
       trees, changesets, etc) for arch-perl unit tests.

METHODS

       new, arch_uid, home_dir, library_dir, archives_dir, trees_dir, make_archive,
       make_category, make_branch, make_version, make_tree.

       new [%args]
           Create a new arch-perl test environment.

           Valid keys for %args are home to specify an existing test environment to reuse,
           library to specify a different revision library path, archives to specify a different
           archives directory, and trees to specify a differente project tree directory. The
           default values are "$home/library", "$home/archives", and "$home/trees" respectively.

           A different arch user id can be selected with the userid key, the default is "Arch
           Perl Test <arch-perl-test@example.com>".

       arch_uid
       home_dir
       library_dir
       archives_dir
       trees_dir
           These methods return the environment parameters as initialized by new.

       make_archive [archive_name]
           Create a new archive in the archives directory. If archive_name is not specified a
           unique name is generated. The archive name is returned. Returns an Arch::Test::Archive
           reference for the archive.

       make_tree version [name]
           Create and initialize ("tla init-tree") a new project tree for version. I name is not
           specified, a unique identifier will be generated. Returns an Arch::Test::Tree
           reference for the project tree.
