💖 test-regexp-pattern(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a section 1 manpage from the User Contributed Perl Documentation crew — a lil command-line tool called test-regexp-pattern. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're gonna vibe through it together.

✨ NAME ✨

test-regexp-pattern — Test Regexp::Pattern patterns in all modules of your distro

like, it goes through every module in your distro and tests your Regexp::Pattern patterns. all of them. no cap. 🧚

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This document describes version 0.010 of test-regexp-pattern (from Perl distribution Test-Regexp-Pattern), released on 2022-07-24.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

In your distro directory:

% test-regexp-pattern [options]

that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This script is a command-line interface for Test::Regexp::Pattern's regexp_patterns_in_all_modules_ok() function.

it's giving "wrapper but make it cute". it's literally just a CLI glow-up of that function, and it's gonna run it for you so you don't have to write a whole test file yourself. obsessed. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -E — This sets "test_examples" to 0.

yep, that's the one (1) option. short king. 🫶

🎀 CONTRIBUTING 🎀

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.

fr fr if you had to do extra steps beyond that, that's a bug and you should tell him. don't suffer in silence bestie 😭

not the "include a test-file" thing being a whole requirement 😭 it's fine, it's fine, it just means he can actually reproduce it. do it for him. 🫶
