Test::Reporter::TranspUser3Contributed Perl DocumeTest::Reporter::Transport(3)NAME
Test::Reporter::Transport - base class for Test::Reporter transports
VERSION
version 1.58
SYNOPSIS
# Defines API that must be implemented by subclasses
my $sender = Test::Reporter::Transport::Subclass->new( @args );
$sender->send( $report )
DESCRIPTION
Transport subclasses provide the means by which CPAN Testers reports
are transmitted to the CPAN Testers mailing list.
This module is an abstract base class that define an API for
Test::Reporter::Transport subclasses. Individual subclasses MUST
implement the methods described below.
USAGE
A transport method is specified to Test::Reporter using the "transport"
option. The "transport" option expects just the module "suffix" that
follows "Test::Reporter::Transport". For example:
# use Test::Reporter::Transport::Null for transport
my $report = Test::Reporter->new(
transport => 'Null'
);
Configuration of the transport is specified with the "transport_args"
option:
my $report = Test::Reporter->new(
transport => 'File',
transport_args => [ dir => '/tmp' ],
);
These may also be specified with the "transport" or "transport_args"
methods:
$report->transport_args( dir => '/tmp' );
These may also be combined in the "transport" method itself:
$report->transport( 'File', dir => '/tmp' );
METHODS
The terms 'may', 'must', 'should', etc. used below have their usual RFC
meanings.
new
my $sender = $subclass->new( @args );
The "new" method is the object constructor. It MAY take a list of any
necessary configuration options. It MUST return a transport object if
one is successfully created or undef if the object can not be created.
send
$sender->send( $report );
The "send" method MUST take a Test::Reporter object as its only
argument. It MUST return true if the report is successfully sent. It
SHOULD die with a message describing the failure if a report cannot be
sent. It MUST NOT return a true value if the report cannot be sent.
