YATH OPTIONS

--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.

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.

Plugins
