Hi all,
Trying to speed up some tests at work. We have a bunch of test files like this:
t/foo/bar/baz.yml
t/foo/bar/baz.t
So each .yml file has a corresponding .t file. However, each .t file is (more
or less) identical. It looks like I can get the test time down from 10 minutes
to about three by using one .t file which looks like this:
use Test::More 'no_plan';
foreach my $test ( find_tests() ) {
runtests($test);
}
That avoids the overhead of reloading perl and the modules multiple times.
However, each .yml file defines its own test count and I don't want 'no_plan'.
What I really want to do is this:
use Test::More 'deferred_plan'
my $plan = 0;
foreach my $test ( find_tests() ) {
$plan += runtest($test); # returns count
}
plan $plan;
And if my plan doesn't match tests run, I get an error.
I could get around this by loading all of the YAML files and checking their
count, but then I'd have to load them *again* when I run the tests and that
defeats the purpose of speeding up the test suite.
Cheers,
Ovid
