NAME

       Test::Aggregate::Nested - Aggregate "*.t" tests to make them run faster.

VERSION

       Version 0.364

SYNOPSIS

	   use Test::Aggregate::Nested;

	   my $tests = Test::Aggregate::Nested->new( {
	       dirs    => $aggregate_test_dir,
	       verbose => 1,
	   } );
	   $tests->run;

DESCRIPTION

       ALPHA WARNING:  this is alpha code.  Conceptually it is superior to "Test::Aggregate", but in reality, it might not be.	We'll see.

       This module is almost identical to "Test::Aggregate" and will in the future be the preferred way of aggregating tests (until someone comes
       up with something better :)

       "Test::Aggregate::Nested" requires a 0.8901 or better of "Test::More".  This is because we use its "subtest" function.  Currently we
       "croak" if this function is not available.

       Because the TAP output is nested, you'll find it much easier to see which tests result in which output.	For example, consider the
       following snippet of TAP.

	   1..2
	       1..5
	       ok 1 - aggtests/check_plan.t ***** 1
	       ok 2 - aggtests/check_plan.t ***** 2
	       ok 3 # skip checking plan (aggtests/check_plan.t ***** 3)
	       ok 4 - env variables should not hang around
	       ok 5 - aggtests/check_plan.t ***** 4
	   ok 1 - Tests for aggtests/check_plan.t
	       1..1
	       ok 1 - subs work!
	   ok 2 - Tests for aggtests/subs.t

       At the end of each nested test is a summary test line explaining which program we ran tests for.

       "Test::Aggregate::Nested" asserts a plan equal to the number of test files aggregated, something which "Test::Aggregate" could not do.
       Because of this, we no longer export "Test::More" functions.  If you need additional tests before or after aggregation, you'll need to run
       the aggregated tests in a subtest:

	use Test::More tests => 2;
	use Test::Aggregate::Nested;

	subtest 'Nested tests' => sub {
	    Test::Aggregate::Nested->new({ dirs => 'aggtests/' })->run;
	};
	ok $some_other_test;

CAVEATS

       "Test::Aggregate::Nested" is much cleaner than "Test::Aggregate", so I don't support the "dump" argument.  If this is needed, let me know
       and I'll see about fixing this.

       The "variable will not stay shared" warnings from "Test::Aggregate" (see its CAVEATS section) are no longer applicable.
