.SH "NAME"
Apache::TestMB \- Subclass of Module::Build to support Apache::Test
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
Standard process for building & installing modules:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& perl Build.PL
\& ./Build
\& ./Build test
\& ./Build install
.Ve
.PP
Or, if you're on a platform (like \s-1DOS\s0 or Windows) that doesn't like the \*(L"./\*(R"
notation, you can do this:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& perl Build.PL
\& perl Build
\& perl Build test
\& perl Build install
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class subclasses \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR to add support for testing
Apache integration with Apache::Test. It is broadly based on
\&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMM\*(C'\fR, and as such adds a number of build actions to a the
\&\fIBuild\fR script, while simplifying the process of creating \fIBuild.PL\fR
scripts.
.PP
Here's how to use \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR in a \fIBuild.PL\fR script:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Module::Build;
\&
\& my $build_pkg = eval { require Apache::TestMB }
\& ? \*(AqApache::TestMB\*(Aq : \*(AqModule::Build\*(Aq;
\&
\& my $build = $build_pkg\->new(
\& module_name => \*(AqMy::Module\*(Aq,
\& );
\& $build\->create_build_script;
.Ve
.PP
This is identical to how \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR is used. Not all target
systems may have \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR (and therefore \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR
installed, so we test for it to be installed, first. But otherwise,
its use can be exactly the same. Consult the
Module::Build documentation for more information on
how to use it; Module::Build::Cookbook may
be especially useful for those looking to migrate from
\&\f(CW\*(C`ExtUtils::MakeMaker\*(C'\fR.
.SH "INTERFACE"
.IX Header "INTERFACE"
.SS "Build"
.IX Subsection "Build"
With the above script, users can build your module in the usual
\&\f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR way:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& perl Build.PL
\& ./Build
\& ./Build test
\& ./Build install
.Ve
.PP
If \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR is installed, then Apache will be started before
tests are run by the \f(CW\*(C`test\*(C'\fR action, and shut down when the tests
complete. Note that \f(CW\*(C`Build.PL\*(C'\fR can be called \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR\-specific
options in addition to the usual \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR options. For
example:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& perl Build.PL \-apxs /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
.Ve
.PP
Consult the Apache::Test documentation for a complete
list of options.
.PP
In addition to the actions provided by \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR (\f(CW\*(C`build\*(C'\fR,
\&\f(CW\*(C`clean\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`code\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`test\*(C'\fR, etc.), \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR adds a few extra
actions:
.IP "test_clean" 4
.IX Item "test_clean"
This action cleans out the files generated by the test script,
\&\fIt/TEST\fR. It is also executed by the \f(CW\*(C`clean\*(C'\fR action.
.IP "run_tests" 4
.IX Item "run_tests"
This action actually the tests by executing the test script,
\&\fIt/TEST\fR. It is executed by the \f(CW\*(C`test\*(C'\fR action, so most of the time
it won't be executed directly.
.IP "testcover" 4
.IX Item "testcover"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR overrides this action from \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR in order to
prevent the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR preference files from being included in the test
coverage.
.SS "Constructor"
.IX Subsection "Constructor"
\fInew\fR
.IX Subsection "new"
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR constructor takes all the same arguments as its parent in
\&\f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR, but can optionally accept one other parameter:
.IP "apache_test_script" 4
.IX Item "apache_test_script"
The name of the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test script. The default value is
\&\fIt/TEST\fR, which will work in the vast majority of cases. If you wish
to specify your own file name, do so with a relative file name using
Unix-style paths; the file name will automatically be converted for
the local platform.
.PP
When \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR is called it does the following:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Processes the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR\-specific options in \f(CW@ARGV\fR. See the
Apache::Test documentation for a complete list of
options.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Sets the name of the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test script to \fIt/TEST\fR, unless
it was explicitly specified by the \f(CW\*(C`apache_test_script\*(C'\fR parameter.
.IP "\(bu" 4
Calls \f(CW\*(C`generate_script()\*(C'\fR to generate \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test script,
usually \fIt/TEST\fR.
.SS "Instance Methods"
.IX Subsection "Instance Methods"
\fIapache_test_args\fR
.IX Subsection "apache_test_args"
.PP
Returns a hash reference containing all of the settings specified by
options passed to \fIBuild.PL\fR, or explicitly added to \f(CW@ARGV\fR in
\&\fIBuild.PL\fR. Consult the Apache::Test documentation
for a complete list of options.
.PP
\fIapache_test_script\fR
.IX Subsection "apache_test_script"
.PP
Gets or sets the file name of the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test script.
.PP
\fIgenerate_script\fR
.IX Subsection "generate_script"
.PP
.Vb 3
\& $build\->generate_script;
\& $build\->generate_script(\*(Aqt/FOO\*(Aq);
\& $build\->generate_script(undef, \*(AqApache::TestRun\*(Aq);
.Ve
.PP
This method is called by \f(CW\*(C`new()\*(C'\fR, so in most cases it can be
ignored. If you'd like it to use other than the default arguments, you
can call it explicitly in \fIBuild.PL\fR and pass it the arguments you
desire. It takes two optional arguments:
.IP "\(bu" 4
The name of the \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test script. Defaults to the value
returned by \f(CW\*(C`apache_test_script()\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\(bu" 4
The name of an \f(CW\*(C`Apache::Test\*(C'\fR test running class. Defaults to
\&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRunPerl\*(C'\fR.
.PP
If there is an existing \fIt/TEST.PL\fR (or a script with the same name
as specified by the \f(CW\*(C`apache_test_script\*(C'\fR parameter but with \fI.PL\fR
appended to it), then that script will be used as the template for the
test script. Otherwise, a simple test script will be written similar
to what would be written by \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestRun::generate_script()\*(C'\fR
(although that function is not aware of the arguments passed to
\&\fIBuild.PL\fR, so use this one instead!).
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IX Header "SEE ALSO"
.IP "Apache::TestRequest" 4
.IX Item "Apache::TestRequest"
Demonstrates how to write tests to send requests to the Apache server
run by \f(CW\*(C`./Build test\*(C'\fR.
.IP "Module::Build" 4
.IX Item "Module::Build"
The parent class for \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR; consult it's documentation for
more on its interface.
.IP "<http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/05/22/testing.html>" 4
.IX Item "<http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2003/05/22/testing.html>"
This article by Geoffrey Young explains how to configure Apache and
write tests for your module using Apache::Test. Just use
\&\f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMB\*(C'\fR instead of \f(CW\*(C`Apache::TestMM\*(C'\fR to update it for use
with \f(CW\*(C`Module::Build\*(C'\fR.
