NAME

       Test::DZil - tools for testing Dist::Zilla plugins

VERSION

       version 5.008

DESCRIPTION

       Test::DZil provides routines for writing tests for Dist::Zilla plugins.

FUNCTIONS

   Builder
   Minter
         my $tzil = Builder->from_config(...);

       These return class names that subclass Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder or
       Dist::Zilla::Dist::Minter, respectively, with the Dist::Zilla::Tester behavior added.

   is_filelist
         is_filelist( \@files_we_have, \@files_we_want, $desc );

       This test assertion compares two arrayrefs of filenames, taking care of slash
       normalization and sorting.  @files_we_have may also contain objects that do
       Dist::Zilla::Role::File.

   is_yaml
         is_yaml( $yaml_string, $want_struct, $comment );

       This test assertion deserializes the given YAML string and does a "cmp_deeply".

   is_json
         is_json( $json_string, $want_struct, $comment );

       This test assertion deserializes the given JSON string and does a "cmp_deeply".

   dist_ini
         my $ini_text = dist_ini(\%root_config, @plugins);

       This routine returns a string that could be used to populate a simple dist.ini file.  The
       %root_config gives data for the "root" section of the configuration.  To provide a line
       multiple times, provide an arrayref.  For example, the root section could read:

         {
           name   => 'Dist-Sample',
           author => [
             'J. Smith <jsmith@example.com>',
             'Q. Smith <qsmith@example.com>',
           ],
         }

       The root section is optional.

       Plugins can be given in a few ways:

       "PluginMoniker"
       "[ "PluginMoniker" ]"
           These become "[PluginMoniker]"

       "[ "PluginMoniker", "PluginName" ]"
           This becomes "[PluginMoniker / PluginName]"

       "[ "PluginMoniker", { ... } ]"
       "[ "PluginMoniker", "PluginName", { ... } ]"
           These use the given hashref as the parameters inside the section, with the same
           semantics as the root section.

   simple_ini
       This behaves exactly like "dist_ini", but it merges any given root config into a starter
       config, which means that you can often skip any explicit root config.  The starter config
       may change slightly over time, but is something like this:

         {
           name     => 'DZT-Sample',
           abstract => 'Sample DZ Dist',
           version  => '0.001',
           author   => 'E. Xavier Ample <example@example.org>',
           license  => 'Perl_5',
           copyright_holder => 'E. Xavier Ample',
         }
