Hi all, This is probaby a weird request and it's something I could use, but not everyone will. Further, it might require that Test::Harness be changed and I don't know if this is likely or reasonable.
Basically, when I run a single test, I do something like this: prove t/test_name.t However, if I'm using Test::Class, I do something like this: prove t/test_class_tests.t Typically, Test::Class tests have a wrapper script which loads the classes and runs the tests. However, I have a different wrapper script (http://use.perl.org/~Ovid/journal/30510) which allows me to do this: perl t/test_class_tests.t path/to/test/class.pm Instead of loading all classes, it merely loads the one class I want to test. This is handy when I'm working on a single class and I don't want to run all 4,000 friggin' tests. What I would prefer to do is something like this: prove t/test_class_tests.t path/to/test/class.pm I want to do that so I can use Test::Harness, but the path is considered an argument to prove and not my Test::Class driver wrapper script. >From what I can tell, Test::Harness doesn't support anything like this >directly and naturally prove doesn't either. Can anyone make any >recommendations on a good approach here? My ideas are terrible things like >setting environment variables and other things I would simply prefer to avoid.
