Otherwise, read on. (By using the Test module, you can write test scripts without knowing the exact output this module expects. However, if you need to know the specifics, read on!) Perl test scripts print to standard output C<"ok N"> for each single test, where C is an increasing sequence of integers. The first line output by a standard test script is C<"1..M"> with C being the number of tests that should be run within the test script. Test::Harness::runtests(@tests) runs all the testscripts named as arguments and checks standard output for the expected C<"ok N"> strings. After all tests have been performed, runtests() prints some performance statistics that are computed by the Benchmark module. =head2 The test script output The following explains how Test::Harness interprets the output of your test program. =over 4 =item B<'1..M'> This header tells how many tests there will be. For example, C<1..10> means you plan on running 10 tests. This is a safeguard in case your test dies quietly in the middle of its run. It should be the first non-comment line output by your test program. In certain instances, you may not know how many tests you will ultimately be running. In this case, it is permitted for the 1..M header to appear as the B line output by your test (again, it can be followed by further comments). Under B circumstances should 1..M appear in the middle of your output or more than once. =item B<'ok', 'not ok'. Ok?> Any output from the testscript to standard error is ignored and bypassed, thus will be seen by the user. Lines written to standard output containing C are interpreted as feedback for runtests(). All other lines are discarded. C indicates a failed test. C is a successful test. =item B Perl normally expects the 'ok' or 'not ok' to be followed by a test number. It is tolerated if the test numbers after 'ok' are omitted. In this case Test::Harness maintains temporarily its own counter until the script supplies test numbers again. So the following test script print < Anything after the test number but before the # is considered to be the name of the test. ok 42 this is the name of the test Currently, Test::Harness does nothing with this information. =item B If the standard output line contains the substring C< # Skip> (with variations in spacing and case) after C or C, it is counted as a skipped test. If the whole testscript succeeds, the count of skipped tests is included in the generated output. C reports the text after C< # Skip\S*\s+> as a reason for skipping. ok 23 # skip Insufficient flogiston pressure. Similarly, one can include a similar explanation in a C<1..0> line emitted if the test script is skipped completely: 1..0 # Skipped: no leverage found =item B If the standard output line contains the substring C< # TODO> after C or C, it is counted as a todo test. The text afterwards is the thing that has to be done before this test will succeed. not ok 13 # TODO harness the power of the atom =begin _deprecated Alternatively, you can specify a list of what tests are todo as part of the test header. 1..23 todo 5 12 23 This only works if the header appears at the beginning of the test. This style is B. =end _deprecated These tests represent a feature to be implemented or a bug to be fixed and act as something of an executable "thing to do" list. They are B expected to succeed. Should a todo test begin succeeding, Test::Harness will report it as a bonus. This indicates that whatever you were supposed to do has been done and you should promote this to a normal test. =item B As an emergency measure, a test script can decide that further tests are useless (e.g. missing dependencies) and testing should stop immediately. In that case the test script prints the magic words Bail out! to standard output. Any message after these words will be displayed by C as the reason why testing is stopped. =item B Additional comments may be put into the testing output on their own lines. Comment lines should begin with a '#', Test::Harness will ignore them. ok 1 # Life is good, the sun is shining, RAM is cheap. not ok 2 # got 'Bush' expected 'Gore' =item B Any other output Test::Harness sees it will silently ignore B If you wish to place additional output in your test script, please use a comment. =back =head2 Taint mode Test::Harness will honor the C<-T> in the #! line on your test files. So if you begin a test with: #!perl -T the test will be run with taint mode on. =head2 Configuration variables. These variables can be used to configure the behavior of Test::Harness. They are exported on request. =over 4 =item B<$Test::Harness::verbose> The global variable $Test::Harness::verbose is exportable and can be used to let runtests() display the standard output of the script without altering the behavior otherwise. =item B<$Test::Harness::switches> The global variable $Test::Harness::switches is exportable and can be used to set perl command line options used for running the test script(s). The default value is C<-w>. =back =head2 Failure It will happen, your tests will fail. After you mop up your ego, you can begin examining the summary report: t/base..............ok t/nonumbers.........ok t/ok................ok t/test-harness......ok t/waterloo..........dubious Test returned status 3 (wstat 768, 0x300) DIED. FAILED tests 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 Failed 10/20 tests, 50.00% okay Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- t/waterloo.t 3 768 20 10 50.00% 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 Failed 1/5 test scripts, 80.00% okay. 10/44 subtests failed, 77.27% okay. Everything passed but t/waterloo.t. It failed 10 of 20 tests and exited with non-zero status indicating something dubious happened. The columns in the summary report mean: =over 4 =item B The test file which failed. =item B If the test exited with non-zero, this is its exit status. =item B The wait status of the test I. =item B Total number of tests expected to run. =item B Number which failed, either from "not ok" or because they never ran. =item B Percentage of the total tests which failed. =item B A list of the tests which failed. Successive failures may be abbreviated (ie. 15-20 to indicate that tests 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 failed). =back =head2 Functions Test::Harness currently only has one function, here it is. =over 4 =item B my $allok = runtests(@test_files); This runs all the given @test_files and divines whether they passed or failed based on their output to STDOUT (details above). It prints out each individual test which failed along with a summary report and a how long it all took. It returns true if everything was ok. Otherwise it will die() with one of the messages in the DIAGNOSTICS section. =for _private This is just _run_all_tests() plus _show_results() =cut sub runtests { my(@tests) = @_; local ($\, $,); my($tot, $failedtests) = _run_all_tests(@tests); _show_results($tot, $failedtests); my $ok = _all_ok($tot); assert(($ok xor keys %$failedtests), q{ok status jives with $failedtests}); return $ok; } =begin _private =item B<_all_ok> my $ok = _all_ok(\%tot); Tells you if this test run is overall successful or not. =cut sub _all_ok { my($tot) = shift; return $tot->{bad} == 0 && ($tot->{max} || $tot->{skipped}) ? 1 : 0; } =item B<_globdir> my @files = _globdir $dir; Returns all the files in a directory. This is shorthand for backwards compatibility on systems where glob() doesn't work right. =cut sub _globdir { opendir DIRH, shift; my @f = readdir DIRH; closedir DIRH; return @f; } =item B<_run_all_tests> my($total, $failed) = _run_all_tests(@test_files); Runs all the given @test_files (as runtests()) but does it quietly (no report). $total is a hash ref summary of all the tests run. Its keys and values are this: bonus Number of individual todo tests unexpectedly passed max Number of individual tests ran ok Number of individual tests passed sub_skipped Number of individual tests skipped todo Number of individual todo tests files Number of test files ran good Number of test files passed bad Number of test files failed tests Number of test files originally given skipped Number of test files skipped If $total->{bad} == 0 and $total->{max} > 0, you've got a successful test. $failed is a hash ref of all the test scripts which failed. Each key is the name of a test script, each value is another hash representing how that script failed. Its keys are these: name Name of the test which failed estat Script's exit value wstat Script's wait status max Number of individual tests failed Number which failed percent Percentage of tests which failed canon List of tests which failed (as string).

Rework the test summary so long test names are not truncated as badly. (Partially done with new skip test styles) Deal with VMS's "not \nok 4\n" mistake. Add option for coverage analysis. Trap STDERR. Implement Straps total_results() Remember exit code Completely redo the print summary code. Implement Straps callbacks. (experimentally implemented) Straps->analyze_file() not taint clean, don't know if it can be Fix that damned VMS nit. HARNESS_TODOFAIL to display TODO failures Add a test for verbose.
