* Package name : libtest-needsdisplay-perl Version : 1.05 Upstream Author : Adam Kennedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-NeedsDisplay/ * License : same as Perl (GPL-1+ | Artistic) Programming Lang: Perl Description : Ensure that tests needing a display have one When testing GUI applications, sometimes applications or modules absolutely insist on a display, even just to load a module without actually showing any objects. . Regardless, this makes GUI applications pretty much impossible to build and test on headless or automated systems. And it fails to the point of not even running the Makefile.PL script because a dependency needs a display so it can be loaded to find a version. . In these situations, what is needed is a fake display. . The Test::NeedsDisplay module will search around and try to find a way to load some sort of display that can be used for the testing. Test-NeedsDisplay is needed during Padre build. Will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
