.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module provides some tools for testing Alien::Build and alienfile.  Outside of Alien::Build
core development, It is probably most useful for Alien::Build::Plugin developers.
.PP
This module also unsets a number of Alien::Build specific environment variables, in order to make tests
reproducible even when overrides are set in different environments.  So if you want to test those variables in
various states you should explicitly set them in your test script.  These variables are unset if they defined:
\&\f(CW\*(C`ALIEN_BUILD_PRELOAD\*(C'\fR \f(CW\*(C`ALIEN_BUILD_POSTLOAD\*(C'\fR \f(CW\*(C`ALIEN_INSTALL_TYPE\*(C'\fR.
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
.SS "alienfile"
.IX Subsection "alienfile"
.Vb 3
\& my $build = alienfile;
\& my $build = alienfile q{ use alienfile ... };
\& my $build = alienfile filename => \*(Aqalienfile\*(Aq;
.Ve
.PP
Create a Alien::Build instance from the given alienfile.  The first two forms are abbreviations.
.PP
.Vb 3
\& my $build = alienfile;
\& # is the same as
\& my $build = alienfile filename => \*(Aqalienfile\*(Aq;
.Ve
.PP
and
.PP
.Vb 3
\& my $build = alienfile q{ use alienfile ... };
\& # is the same as
\& my $build = alienfile source => q{ use alienfile ... };
.Ve
.PP
Except for the second abbreviated form sets the line number before feeding the source into Alien::Build
so that you will get diagnostics with the correct line numbers.
.IP "source" 4
.IX Item "source"
The source for the alienfile as a string.  You must specify one of \f(CW\*(C`source\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`filename\*(C'\fR.
.IP "filename" 4
.IX Item "filename"
The filename for the alienfile.  You must specify one of \f(CW\*(C`source\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`filename\*(C'\fR.
.IP "root" 4
.IX Item "root"
The build root.
.IP "stage" 4
.IX Item "stage"
The staging area for the build.
.IP "prefix" 4
.IX Item "prefix"
The install prefix for the build.
.SS "alienfile_ok"
.IX Subsection "alienfile_ok"
.Vb 4
\& my $build = alienfile_ok;
\& my $build = alienfile_ok q{ use alienfile ... };
\& my $build = alienfile_ok filename => \*(Aqalienfile\*(Aq;
\& my $build = alienfile_ok $build;
.Ve
.PP
Same as \f(CW\*(C`alienfile\*(C'\fR above, except that it runs as a test, and will not throw an exception
on failure (it will return undef instead).
.PP
[version 1.49]
.PP
As of version 1.49 you can also pass in an already formed instance of Alien::Build.  This
allows you to do something like this:
.PP
.Vb 5
\& subtest \*(Aqa subtest\*(Aq => sub {
\&   my $build = alienfile q{ use alienfile; ... };
\&   alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs; # skip if alienfile prereqs are missing
\&   alienfile_ok $build;  # delayed pass/fail for the compile of alienfile
\& };
.Ve
.SS "alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs"
.IX Subsection "alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs"
.Vb 2
\& alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs;
\& alienfile_skip_if_missing_prereqs $phase;
.Ve
.PP
Skips the test or subtest if the prereqs for the alienfile are missing.
If \f(CW$phase\fR is not given, then either \f(CW\*(C`share\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR will be
detected.
.SS "alien_install_type_is"
.IX Subsection "alien_install_type_is"
.Vb 2
\& alien_install_type_is $type;
\& alien_install_type_is $type, $name;
.Ve
.PP
Simple test to see if the install type is what you expect.
\&\f(CW$type\fR should be one of \f(CW\*(C`system\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`share\*(C'\fR.
.SS "alien_download_ok"
.IX Subsection "alien_download_ok"
.Vb 2
\& my $file = alien_download_ok;
\& my $file = alien_download_ok $name;
.Ve
.PP
Makes a download attempt and test that a file or directory results.  Returns
the file or directory if successful.  Returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR otherwise.
.SS "alien_extract_ok"
.IX Subsection "alien_extract_ok"
.Vb 4
\& my $dir = alien_extract_ok;
\& my $dir = alien_extract_ok $archive;
\& my $dir = alien_extract_ok $archive, $name;
\& my $dir = alien_extract_ok undef, $name;
.Ve
.PP
Makes an extraction attempt and test that a directory results.  Returns
the directory if successful.  Returns \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR otherwise.
.SS "alien_build_ok"
.IX Subsection "alien_build_ok"
.Vb 4
\& my $alien = alien_build_ok;
\& my $alien = alien_build_ok $name;
\& my $alien = alien_build_ok { class => $class };
\& my $alien = alien_build_ok { class => $class }, $name;
.Ve
.PP
Runs the download and build stages.  Passes if the build succeeds.  Returns an instance
of Alien::Base which can be passed into \f(CW\*(C`alien_ok\*(C'\fR from Test::Alien.  Returns
\&\f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if the test fails.
.PP
Options
.IP "class" 4
.IX Item "class"
The base class to use for your alien.  This is Alien::Base by default.  Should
be a subclass of Alien::Base, or at least adhere to its \s-1API.\s0
.SS "alien_build_clean"
.IX Subsection "alien_build_clean"
.Vb 1
\& alien_build_clean;
.Ve
.PP
Removes all files with the current build, except for the runtime prefix.
This helps test that the final install won't depend on the build files.
.SS "alien_clean_install"
.IX Subsection "alien_clean_install"
.Vb 1
\& alien_clean_install;
.Ve
.PP
Runs \f(CW\*(C`$build\->clean_install\*(C'\fR, and verifies it did not crash.
.SS "alien_checkpoint_ok"
.IX Subsection "alien_checkpoint_ok"
.Vb 2
\& alien_checkpoint_ok;
\& alien_checkpoint_ok $test_name;
.Ve
.PP
Test the checkpoint of a build.
.SS "alien_resume_ok"
.IX Subsection "alien_resume_ok"
.Vb 2
\& alien_resume_ok;
\& alien_resume_ok $test_name;
.Ve
.PP
Test a resume a checkpointed build.
.SS "alien_rc"
.IX Subsection "alien_rc"
.Vb 1
\& alien_rc $code;
.Ve
.PP
Creates \f(CW\*(C`rc.pl\*(C'\fR file in a temp directory and sets \s-1ALIEN_BUILD_RC.\s0  Useful for testing
plugins that should be called from \f(CW\*(C`~/.alienbuild/rc.pl\*(C'\fR.  Note that because of the
nature of how the \f(CW\*(C`~/.alienbuild/rc.pl\*(C'\fR file works, you can only use this once!
.SS "alien_subtest"
.IX Subsection "alien_subtest"
.Vb 3
\& alien_subtest $test_name => sub {
\&   ...
\& };
.Ve
.PP
Clear the build object and clear the build object before and after the subtest.
