App::Yath::Command::run(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation App::Yath::Command::run(3)

App::Yath::Command::run - Run tests using the persistent test runner

This command will run tests through an already started persistent instance. See the start command for details on how to launch a persistant instance.

    $ yath [YATH OPTIONS] run [COMMAND OPTIONS]

Developer
--dev-lib
--dev-lib=lib
-D
-D=lib
-Dlib
--no-dev-lib
Add paths to @INC before loading ANYTHING. This is what you use if you are developing yath or yath plugins to make sure the yath script finds the local code instead of the installed versions of the same code. You can provide an argument (-Dfoo) to provide a custom path, or you can just use -D without and arg to add lib, blib/lib and blib/arch.

Can be specified multiple times

Environment

--persist-dir ARG
--persist-dir=ARG
--no-persist-dir
Where to find persistence files.
--persist-file ARG
--persist-file=ARG
--pfile ARG
--pfile=ARG
--no-persist-file
Where to find the persistence file. The default is /{system-tempdir}/project-yath-persist.json. If no project is specified then it will fall back to the current directory. If the current directory is not writable it will default to /tmp/yath-persist.json which limits you to one persistent runner on your system.
--project ARG
--project=ARG
--project-name ARG
--project-name=ARG
--no-project
This lets you provide a label for your current project/codebase. This is best used in a .yath.rc file. This is necessary for a persistent runner.

Finder Options

--finder MyFinder
--finder +Test2::Harness::Finder::MyFinder
--no-finder
Specify what Finder subclass to use when searching for files/processing the file list. Use the "+" prefix to specify a fully qualified namespace, otherwise Test2::Harness::Finder::XXX namespace is assumed.

Help and Debugging

Exit after showing what yath thinks your options mean
--version
-V
--no-version
Exit after showing a helpful usage message

Plugins

--no-scan-plugins
--no-no-scan-plugins
Normally yath scans for and loads all App::Yath::Plugin::* modules in order to bring in command-line options they may provide. This flag will disable that. This is useful if you have a naughty plugin that it loading other modules when it should not.
--plugins PLUGIN
--plugins +App::Yath::Plugin::PLUGIN
--plugins PLUGIN=arg1,arg2,...
--plugin PLUGIN
--plugin +App::Yath::Plugin::PLUGIN
--plugin PLUGIN=arg1,arg2,...
