DH_RAKU_TEST(1)

🎀 DH_RAKU_TEST(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to dh_raku_test — it's a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection, and it's here to tell you how this lil script automatically tests perl 6 module packages. yes, "perl 6". we love a vintage moment. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

dh_raku_test — automatically test perl 6 module packages 🧚

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dh_raku_test

that's it. no flags, no args, no drama. she just goes. 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this script literally calls prove --exec raku -Ilib to test a Raku module package. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

BUT. she is picky, and honestly? respect. she only runs if three conditions are met:

• A t directory exists 👀
• The debhelper build option nocheck is not set 🙅

no t directory, no tests. nocheck turned on, no tests. she said boundaries, periodt. ✋

---

🏠 HOME directory 🏠

before launching tests, the HOME directory gets set to debian/tmp/home. and then — because she's a clean girl — that directory is cleaned up after the tests are done. ✨🧼

---

🌀 Breaking build dependency loop 🌀

so this script used to call c<prove6>, and babes, it caused a lot of problems, all because of a dependency loop. 😭💀

now? only Perl's prove is used. much more peaceful. much more main character. 🌈
