NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder - dist zilla subclass for building dists

VERSION

       version 4.300020

ATTRIBUTES

   built_in
       This is the Path::Class::Dir, if any, in which the dist has been built.

METHODS

   from_config
	 my $zilla = Dist::Zilla->from_config(\%arg);

       This routine returns a new Zilla from the configuration in the current working directory.

       This method should not be relied upon, yet.  Its semantics are certain to change.

       Valid arguments are:

	 config_class - the class to use to read the config
			default: Dist::Zilla::MVP::Reader::Finder

   build_in
	 $zilla->build_in($root);

       This method builds the distribution in the given directory.  If no directory name is given, it defaults to DistName-Version.  If the
       distribution has already been built, an exception will be thrown.

   build
       This method just calls "build_in" with no arguments.  It gets you the default behavior without the weird-looking formulation of "build_in"
       with no object for the preposition!

   ensure_built_in
	 $zilla->ensure_built_in($root);

       This method behaves like "build_in", but if the dist is already built in $root (or the default root, if no root is given), no exception is
       raised.

   ensure_built_in
       This method just calls "ensure_built_in" with no arguments.  It gets you the default behavior without the weird-looking formulation of
       "ensure_built_in" with no object for the preposition!

   dist_basename
	 my $basename = $zilla->dist_basename;

       This method will return the dist's basename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01".  The basename is used as the top-level directory in the tarball.  It
       does not include "-TRIAL", even if building a trial dist.

   archive_filename
	 my $tarball = $zilla->archive_filename;

       This method will return the filename (e.g. "Dist-Name-1.01.tar.gz") of the tarball of this dist.  It will include "-TRIAL" if building a
       trial dist.  The tarball might not exist.

   build_archive
	 $zilla->build_archive;

       This method will ensure that the dist has been built, and will then build a tarball of the build directory in the current directory.

   release
	 $zilla->release;

       This method releases the distribution, probably by uploading it to the CPAN.  The actual effects of this method (as with most of the
       methods) is determined by the loaded plugins.

   clean
       This method removes temporary files and directories suspected to have been produced by the Dist::Zilla build process.  Specifically, it
       deletes the .build directory and any entity that starts with the dist name and a hyphen, like matching the glob "Your-Dist-*".

   install
	 $zilla->install( \%arg );

       This method installs the distribution locally.  The distribution will be built in a temporary subdirectory, then the process will change
       directory to that subdir and an installer will be run.

       Valid arguments are:

	 install_command - the command to run in the subdir to install the dist
			   default (roughly): $^X -MCPAN -einstall .

			   this argument should be an arrayref

   test
	 $zilla->test;

       This method builds a new copy of the distribution and tests it using "run_tests_in".

   run_tests_in
	 my $error = $zilla->run_tests_in($directory);

       This method runs the tests in $directory (a Path::Class::Dir), which must contain an already-built copy of the distribution.  It will throw
       an exception if there are test failures.

       It does not set any of the *_TESTING environment variables, nor does it clean up $directory afterwards.

   run_in_build
	 $zilla->run_in_build( @cmd );

       This method makes a temporary directory, builds the distribution there, executes the dist's first BuildRunner, and then runs the given
       command in the build directory.	If the command exits non-zero, the directory will be left in place.
