💖 DH_PERL6_TEST — bestie edition ✨

okay so you're here for dh_perl6_test from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and honestly? she's a little queen. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

dh_perl6_test — automatically test perl 6 module packages 💅

like. she tests your perl 6 module package for you. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dh_perl6_test

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, just her showing up and doing her thing 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way this works: this script will call prove6 -l -v to self-test a perl 6 module package. iconic behaviour, truly.

but — and this is the important part, bestie — she is picky. she will only do so if three conditions are met. all three. no exceptions. it's giving "three-strike vibe check" 😭

  • A t directory exists
  • perl6-tap-harness is installed — typically by adding it to the build-dependencies of the package being built
  • The debhelper build option nocheck is not set
no t directory? no perl6-tap-harness? or you set nocheck? then she is literally not testing anything and you did that to yourself 🙈

so like, if you're wondering why nothing happened, run the vibe check above before you come for her 👑
