NAME
Test::Pod::Coverage - Check for pod coverage in your distribution.
VERSION
Version 1.10
SYNOPSIS
In one of your dist's test files (eg "t/pod-coverage.t"): use Test::Pod::Coverage tests=>1; pod_coverage_ok( "Foo::Bar", "Foo::Bar is covered" );
DESCRIPTION
Test::Pod::Coverage is used to create a test for your distribution, to ensure that all relevant files in your distribution are appropriately documented in pod. Can also be called with Pod::Coverage parms. use Test::Pod::Coverage tests=>1; pod_coverage_ok( "Foo::Bar", { also_private => [ qr/^[A-Z_]+$/ ], }, "Foo::Bar, with all-caps functions as privates", ); The Pod::Coverage parms are also useful for subclasses that don't re-document the parent class's methods. Here's an example from Mail::SRS. pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS" ); # No exceptions # Define the three overridden methods. my $trustme = { trustme => [qr/^(new|parse|compile)$/] }; pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::DB", $trustme ); pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Guarded", $trustme ); pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Reversable", $trustme ); pod_coverage_ok( "Mail::SRS::Shortcut", $trustme ); Alternately, you could use Pod::Coverage::CountParents, which always allows a subclass to reimplement its parents' methods without redocumenting them. For example: my $trustparents = { coverage_class => 'Pod::Coverage::CountParents' }; pod_coverage_ok( "IO::Handle::Frayed", $trustparents ); (The "coverage_class" parameter is not passed to the coverage class with other parameters.) If you want POD coverage for your module, but don't want to make Test::Pod::Coverage a prerequisite for installing, create the following as your t/pod-coverage.t file: use Test::More; eval "use Test::Pod::Coverage"; plan skip_all => "Test::Pod::Coverage required for testing pod coverage" if $@; plan tests => 1; pod_coverage_ok( "Pod::Master::Html"); Finally, Module authors can include the following in a t/pod-coverage.t file and have "Test::Pod::Coverage" automatically find and check all modules in the module distribution: use Test::More; eval "use Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00"; plan skip_all => "Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00 required for testing POD coverage" if $@; all_pod_coverage_ok();
FUNCTIONS
All functions listed below are exported to the calling namespace. all_pod_coverage_ok( [$parms, ] $msg ) Checks that the POD code in all modules in the distro have proper POD coverage. If the $parms hashref if passed in, they're passed into the "Pod::Coverage" object that the function uses. Check the Pod::Coverage manual for what those can be. The exception is the "coverage_class" parameter, which specifies a class to use for coverage testing. It defaults to "Pod::Coverage". pod_coverage_ok( $module, [$parms, ] $msg ) Checks that the POD code in $module has proper POD coverage. If the $parms hashref if passed in, they're passed into the "Pod::Coverage" object that the function uses. Check the Pod::Coverage manual for what those can be. The exception is the "coverage_class" parameter, which specifies a class to use for coverage testing. It defaults to "Pod::Coverage". all_modules( [@dirs] ) Returns a list of all modules in $dir and in directories below. If no directories are passed, it defaults to blib if blib exists, or lib if not. Note that the modules are as "Foo::Bar", not "Foo/Bar.pm". The order of the files returned is machine-dependent. If you want them sorted, you'll have to sort them yourself.
