App::P...irDist(3pm)

📦 version 0.07, in ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

🎀 App::Prove::Plugin::ShareDirDist — bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a prove plugin (yes, like from perl's manual, App::Prove::Plugin::ShareDirDist) that plays nice with File::ShareDir::Dist. it's a whole little collaboration, iykyk. 🫶

it lives in the Perl 5 user-contributed documentation, and the version is 0.07. tiny number, big vibes. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, literally just:

% prove -PShareDirDist -lv t

that's it. that's the whole entrance. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea. this plugin sets the override for File::ShareDir::Dist, and it figures out what that override should be based on the name of the current directory — but only if there's a share directory hanging out in there. no share dir? no override. simple as that. 🦋

and it assumes the directory name is the same as the dist name. which... lowkey might not be the case?? it's not guaranteed bestie, it's just what happened to be the convention that the author uses. so like, it's giving "works for me" energy, not "works for everyone" energy. no cap. 💀

fr fr, don't come for this plugin when your directory isn't named after your dist — it literally told you it assumes that.
