NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::TestRelease - extract archive and run tests before releasing the dist

VERSION

       version 5.008

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin runs before a release happens.  It will extract the to-be-released archive
       into a temporary directory and use the TestRunner plugins to run its tests.  If the tests
       fail, the release is aborted and the temporary directory is left in place.  If the tests
       pass, the temporary directory is cleaned up and the release process continues.

       This will set the RELEASE_TESTING and AUTHOR_TESTING env vars while running the test
       suite.
