Test::...utable(3pm)

💖 Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation manual set 🎀 — yes the header up top says Test::...utable(3pm) because even the man page title got the abbreviation treatment, but the full name is right here and it's a whole mouthful, we love that for it.

✨ NAME ✨

Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable — skips tests unless executable exists 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Test::More tests => 1;
use Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable qw(
    /usr/bin/rsync
    perl
);
use_ok 'Mouse';

# or

use Test::More tests => 1;
use Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable;

skip_all_unless_exists '/bin/sh';
skip_all_unless_exists 'perl';
ok 1;

two whole vibes, pick your fighter 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable checks if an executable exist and skips the test if it does not. lowkey the entire point is that you should never have to hand-write this kind of boilerplate code, because writing it is giving copy-paste energy and nobody has time:

Test::More;
BEGIN {
    do_i_have_all_my_optional_deps() ? plan skip_all : plan tests => 42
}

no cap, that block? not the move. 🫶

🧚 INTERFACE 🧚

Both Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable import method and test_exists_executable method take the name of a program or the file path of executable. It checks if the program exists and is executable. ✨

fr fr, that's the whole interface. either you import it with a list, or you call the method yourself — either way you're handing it a program name or a full path to an executable, and it does the vibe check: exists? executable? slay. doesn't? we skip. 💀
