test::eol
Test::EOL(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Test::EOL(3pm)
NAME
Test::EOL - Check the correct line endings in your project
SYNOPSIS
"Test::EOL" lets you check for the presence of trailing whitespace and/or windows line endings in your perl code. It reports its results in
standard "Test::Simple" fashion:
use Test::EOL tests => 1;
eol_unix_ok( 'lib/Module.pm', 'Module is ^M free');
and to add checks for trailing whitespace:
use Test::EOL tests => 1;
eol_unix_ok( 'lib/Module.pm', 'Module is ^M and trailing whitespace free', { trailing_whitespace => 1 });
Module authors can include the following in a t/eol.t and have "Test::EOL" automatically find and check all perl files in a module
distribution:
use Test::EOL;
all_perl_files_ok();
or
use Test::EOL;
all_perl_files_ok( @mydirs );
and if authors would like to check for trailing whitespace:
use Test::EOL;
all_perl_files_ok({ trailing_whitespace => 1 });
or
use Test::EOL;
all_perl_files_ok({ trailing_whitespace => 1 }, @mydirs );
DESCRIPTION
This module scans your project/distribution for any perl files (scripts, modules, etc) for the presence of windows line endings.
FUNCTIONS
all_perl_files_ok
all_perl_files_ok( [ \%options ], [ @directories ] )
Applies "eol_unix_ok()" to all perl files found in @directories (and sub directories). If no <@directories> is given, the starting point is
one level above the current running script, that should cover all the files of a typical CPAN distribution. A perl file is *.pl or *.pm or
*.t or a file starting with "#!...perl"
Valid "\%options" currently are:
o trailing_whitespace
By default Test::EOL only looks for Windows (CR/LF) line-endings. Set this to true to raise errors if any kind of trailing whitespace
is present in the file.
o all_reasons
Normally Test::EOL reports only the first error in every file (given that a text file originated on Windows will fail every single
line). Set this a true value to register a test failure for every line with an error.
If the test plan is defined:
use Test::EOL tests => 3;
all_perl_files_ok();
the total number of files tested must be specified.
eol_unix_ok
eol_unix_ok ( $file [, $text] [, \%options ] )
Run a unix EOL check on $file. For a module, the path (lib/My/Module.pm) or the name (My::Module) can be both used. $text is the diagnostic
label emited after the "ok"/"not ok" TAP output. "\%options" takes the same values as described in "all_perl_files_ok".
EXPORT
A list of functions that can be exported. You can delete this section if you don't export anything, such as for a purely object-oriented
module.
