NAME
Apache::TestConfig -- Test Configuration setup module
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::TestConfig;
my $cfg = Apache::TestConfig->new(%args)
my $fh = $cfg->genfile($file);
$cfg->writefile($file, $content);
$cfg->gendir($dir);
...
DESCRIPTION
"Apache::TestConfig" is used in creating the "Apache::Test" configuration files.
FUNCTIONS
genwarning()
my $warn = $cfg->genwarning($filename)
genwarning() returns a warning string as a comment, saying that the file was
autogenerated and that it's not a good idea to modify this file. After the warning a
perl trace of calls to this this function is appended. This trace is useful for
finding what code has created the file.
my $warn = $cfg->genwarning($filename, $from_filename)
If $from_filename is specified it'll be used in the warning to tell which file it was
generated from.
genwarning() automatically recognizes the comment type based on the file extension. If
the extension is not recognized, the default "#" style is used.
Currently it support "<!-- -->", "/* ... */" and "#" styles.
genfile()
my $fh = $cfg->genfile($file);
genfile() creates a new file $file for writing and returns a file handle.
If parent directories of $file don't exist they will be automagically created.
The file $file and any created parent directories (if found empty) will be
automatically removed on cleanup.
A comment with a warning and calls trace is added to the top of this file. See
genwarning() for more info about this comment.
my $fh = $cfg->genfile($file, $from_file);
If $from_filename is specified it'll be used in the warning to tell which file it was
generated from.
my $fh = $cfg->genfile($file, $from_file, $nowarning);
If $nowarning is true, the warning won't be added. If using this optional argument and
there is no $from_file you must pass undef as in:
my $fh = $cfg->genfile($file, undef, $nowarning);
writefile()
$cfg->writefile($file, $content, [$nowarning]);
writefile() creates a new file $file with the content of $content.
A comment with a warning and calls trace is added to the top of this file unless
$nowarnings is passed and set to a true value. See genwarning() for more info about
this comment.
If parent directories of $file don't exist they will be automagically created.
The file $file and any created parent directories (if found empty) will be
automatically removed on cleanup.
write_perlscript()
$cfg->write_perlscript($filename, @lines);
Similar to writefile() but creates an executable Perl script with correctly set
shebang line.
gendir()
$cfg->gendir($dir);
gendir() creates a new directory $dir.
If parent directories of $dir don't exist they will be automagically created.
The directory $dir and any created parent directories will be automatically removed on
cleanup if found empty.
Environment Variables
The following environment variables affect the configuration and the run-time of the
"Apache::Test" framework:
APACHE_TEST_COLOR
To aid visual control over the configuration process and the run-time phase,
"Apache::Test" uses coloured fonts when the environment variable "APACHE_TEST_COLOR" is
set to a true value.
APACHE_TEST_LIVE_DEV
When using "Apache::Test" during the project development phase, it's often convenient to
have the project/lib (live) directory appearing first in @INC so any changes to the Perl
modules, residing in it, immediately affect the server, without a need to rerun "make" to
update blib/lib. When the environment variable "APACHE_TEST_LIVE_DEV" is set to a true
value during the configuration phase ("t/TEST -config", "Apache::Test" will automatically
unshift the project/lib directory into @INC, via the autogenerated t/conf/modperl_inc.pl
file.
Special Placeholders
When generating configuration files from the *.in templates, special placeholder variables
get substituted. To embed a placeholder use the "@foo@" syntax. For example in
extra.conf.in you can write:
Include @ServerRoot@/conf/myconfig.conf
When extra.conf is generated, "@ServerRoot@" will get replaced with the location of the
server root.
Placeholders are case-insensitive.
Available placeholders:
Configuration Options
All configuration variables that can be passed to "t/TEST", such as "MaxClients",
"DocumentRoot", "ServerRoot", etc. To see the complete list run:
% t/TEST --help
and you will find them in the "configuration options" sections.
NextAvailablePort
Every time this placeholder is encountered it'll be replaced with the next available port.
This is very useful if you need to allocate a special port, but not hardcode it. Later
when running:
% t/TEST -port=select
it's possible to run several concurrent test suites on the same machine, w/o having port
collisions.
