Hi! For a particular maybe unorthodox test rpoject I want to create test suites that can inherit from other test suites, so that I can provide base suites, and on top of that more specific suites, adding or changing particular tests.
(So I'm not talking about a suite *for* a distribution but the distribution *is* the suite.) The nearest thing I found was Test::Class. But I'm not sure it's the right thing, read on: - I don't want to write .t files but rather have kind of main() function per class. - Inside one class I want to produce TAP in different sections similar to what happens with multiple t/*.t files during one run of "prove", each with its own plan. In Test::Class it seems I have to create an own class for each such section, because all plans from methods are added into a combined single plan. I maybe could adapt some kind of plugin technique to Test::Class but maybe I'm thinking too compilcated. Maybe I'm just missing the right idea for connecting "prove" with some call into a TestSuite::Foo->main(). Some ideas? Am I confusing things? :-) Thanks. Kind regards, Steffen -- Steffen Schwigon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
