💖 Test::Smoke::Syncer::Rsync 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to Test::S...::Rsync(3) — the Perl doc page for the thing that does the rsync-ing ✨

Test::Smoke::Syncer::Rsync handles all the syncing with the rsync program. That's literally its whole job and it's doing it gorgeously 💅

Real talk though: this is only ever supposed to be visible from the "parent-package", so like… no direct user-calls on this, okay? It's giving backstage pass only 🎀

🦋 Test::Smoke::Syncer::Rsync->new( %args ) 🦋

This creates the new object, bestie. Slay. Here are the keys for %args:

  • ddir — the destination directory (./perl-current) 📁
  • source — the rsync source (ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-current) 🌐
  • opts — the options for rsync (-az --delete) ⚙️
  • rsync — the full path to the rsync program (rsync) 🔍
  • v — verbose 👀

🌸 $rsync->pre_sync() 🌸

Creates the destination directory if it doesn't exist. Like, it's the little pre-game ritual before the main event 💖

✨ $object->sync( ) ✨

Does the actual sync — it makes a call to the rsync program and lets it cook 🔥

ngl, rsync can also be used as a smart version of copy. But listen carefully: if you're rsyncing from a local directory, make sure the destination path ends with a path separator! (This does not seem to work for source paths mounted via NFS.) 🫶
