NAME

App::Prove::State - State storage for the "prove" command.

VERSION

Version 3.42

DESCRIPTION

The "prove" command supports a "--state" option that instructs it to store persistent state across runs. This module implements that state and the operations that may be performed on it.

SYNOPSIS

    # Re-run failed tests
    $ prove --state=failed,save -rbv

METHODS

•: "store"
The filename of the data store holding the data that App::Prove::State reads.
•: "extensions" (optional)
The test name extensions. Defaults to ".t".
•: "result_class" (optional)
The name of the "result_class". Defaults to "App::Prove::State::Result".

result_class

Getter/setter for the name of the class used for tracking test results. This class should either subclass from "App::Prove::State::Result" or provide an identical interface.

extensions

Get or set the list of extensions that files must have in order to be considered tests. Defaults to ['.t'].

results

Get the results of the last test run. Returns a "result_class()" instance.
