NAME Test::Fixme - check code for FIXMEs. SYNOPSIS # In a test script like 't/test-fixme.t' use Test::Fixme; run_tests(); # You can also tailor the behaviour. use Test::Fixme; run_tests( where => 'lib', # where to find files to check match => 'TODO', # what to check for skip_all => $ENV{SKIP} # should all tests be skipped ); DESCRIPTION When coding it is common to come up against problems that need to be addressed but that are not a big deal at the moment. What generally happens is that the coder adds comments like: # FIXME - what about windows that are bigger than the screen? # FIXME - add checking of user priviledges here. Test::Fixme allows you to add a test file that ensures that none of these get forgotten in the module. Arguments By default run_tests will search for 'FIXME' in all the files it can find in the project. You can change these defaults by using 'where' or 'match' as follows: run_tests( where => 'lib', # just check the modules. match => 'TODO' # look for things that are not done yet. ); HINTS If you want to match something other than 'FIXME' then you may find that the test file itself is being caught. Try doing this: run_tests( match => 'TO'.'DO' ); You may also wish to suppress the tests - try this: use Test::Fixme; run_tests( skip_all => $ENV{SKIP_TEST_FIXME} ); You can only run run_tests once per file. Please use several test files if you want to run several different tests. SEE ALSO Devel::FIXME AUTHOR Edmund von der Burg Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.
