APP::PROVE::STATE::RESULT::TEST(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

App::Prove::State::Result::Test — Individual test results. Yes bestie, this is that manual page, and it's all about keeping track of one single test's results. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 3.50 — locked in, no cap. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the prove command has this --state option, right? It tells prove to store persistent state across runs — like it remembers stuff between test runs, iconic behavior. This module is the little container that encapsulates the results for a single test. 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

# Re-run failed tests
$ prove --state=failed,save -rbv
