ok so bestie, we're in INLINE2TEST(1) today, straight outta the User Contributed Perl Documentation shelf of your man pages ✨ buckle up 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

inline2test — literally just: the Test::Inline 2 Test Compiler 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 2.214 — that's the one, no cap 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

inline2test is the Test::Inline 2 test compiler. that's the whole job title, periodt.

so what does it actually do? its job (yes, "its job", we're being chill about grammar today) is to:

  • scan through an arbitrary tree of Perl source code files 🌳
  • locate the inline test sections hiding in there 👀
  • extract them
  • convert them into test scripts
  • and write them out to an output path 📝

it's giving "personal assistant for your test suite" and honestly? iconic. main character energy fr fr 🧚

⭐ SYNOPIS ⭐

(not me spelling it like that — that's genuinely how the section is named, iykyk, we don't make the rules 🙈)

> inline2test ./inline2test.conf

# In your inline2test.conf
input=lib
output=t
execute=0
verbose=1
readonly=1
header=inline2text.txt

so yeah, you point it at a config file, and the config file is where all the vibe lives 🌈 input=lib, output=t, execute=0, verbose=1, readonly=1, header=inline2text.txt — and yes bestie that last one is spelled inline2text.txt in the source, we are reporting the facts, not editing them 💀

like, actually through the tracker though. that's the whole point of the section 😭
