Hey, there's the empty TEST_FILES in TestMM::test. :-/So, is this a bug, a feature, and oversite?hmm... well, I use TEST_FILES all the time $ make test TEST_FILES=t/Foo TEST_VERBOSE=1 and it works just fine. the crux of this very long message is that TESTS in Makefile.PL ought to be propagated somehow but isn't?
Correct. Easy to fix. I didn't want to patch it before I knew whether this was intended behaviour for some reason?
t/TEST recurses directoriesin tit has always behaved this way, which is far more useful and better than MakeMaker's default behavior :) so, don't expect that to change.
I agree, but I don't. ;-> While it may be usefull, it breaks expectations and makes the 'make test' behave in two completely different ways in terms of what is found in t.
M::B does exactly the same thing as EU::MM and just runs test.pl and t/*.t. The simple act of using Apache-Test for just one or two http=based test files in a test suite completely changes how make test operates with respect to what files it runs. I think that's a Bad Thing. It's even more frustrating if youre test suite runs with AND without Apache-Test.
But alas, that will probably never change just because 'its always been that way'.
In either case, it's probably moot if TestMM did what it should with the test=>TESTS option in Makefile.PL.
Unless there's some reason that TestMM is deliberatly ignoring the test=>TESTS option, I'll patch it this evening and send that to the list.
