Dist::Z...ageTests(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, listen: Dist::Zilla::Plugin::PodCoverageTests — it's an author test for Pod coverage. that's the whole vibe. it checks that your Pod actually covers your subs. periodt. 🎀

---

✨ VERSION ✨

we're on version 6.040, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's literally all you gotta do. drop this line in your dist.ini:

# Add this line to dist.ini
[PodCoverageTests]

then run this in the command line to test for POD coverage:

$ dzil test --release

and that's it, that's the whole thing 🦋

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so this plugin is an extension of Dist::Zilla::Plugin::InlineFiles, and it hands you the following files (yes, it's just the one, she's an icon):

• xt/author/pod-coverage.t — a standard Test::Pod::Coverage test

this test uses Pod::Coverage::TrustPod to check your Pod coverage. which means: if you wanna say "bestie these subs ARE covered, even though you literally can't find any documentation for them," you can add this:

=for Pod::Coverage sub_name other_sub this_one_too

Test::Pod::Coverage 1.08 and Pod::Coverage::TrustPod will be added as "develop requires" dependencies. yes, automatically. she does it for you. 💖

and fr fr, you can run the release tests by invoking dzil test --release.

🐚 PERL VERSION 🐚

this module should work on any version of perl still receiving updates from the Perl 5 Porters. that means it should work on any version of perl released in the last two to three years. (like, if the most recently released version is v5.40, then this module should work on both v5.40 and v5.38.) ✨

although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. the version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. so like… don't come for her about it. 💀
