NAME Test::Spelling::Comment - check for spelling errors in code comments VERSION Version 0.005 SYNOPSIS use Test::Spelling::Comment; Test::Spelling::Comment->new->add_stopwords()->all_files_ok; DESCRIPTION Test::Spelling::Comment lets you check the spelling of your code comments, and report its results in standard Test::More fashion. This module uses Comment::Spell::Check to do the checking, which requires a spellcheck program such as spell, aspell, ispell, or hunspell. This test is an author test and should not run on end-user installations. Recommendation is to put it into your xt instead of your t directory. USAGE new( [ ARGS ] ) Returns a new Test::Spelling::Comment instance. new takes an optional hash with its arguments. Test::Spelling::Comment->new( skip => pattern, stopwords => Pod::Wordlist, ); The following arguments are supported: skip (optional) The skip argument is either a string or an array ref of strings or regex patterns. Every pattern is substituted for the empty string on every line of the input file. This happens before passing the file over to Comment::Spell::Check for spell checking. Use this option to remove parts of the file that would otherwise require you to add multiple stopwords. An example would be lines like these: # vim: ts=4 sts=4 sw=4 et: syntax=perl stopwords (optional) The stopwords argument must be a Pod::Wordlist instance, or something compatible. You can use that argument to configure Pod::Wordlist to your liking. file_ok( FILENAME ) file_ok will ok the test and return something true if no spelling error is found in the code comments. Otherwise it fails the test and returns something false. all_files_ok Calls the all_files method of Test::XTFiles to get all the files to be tested. All files will be checked by calling file_ok. It calls done_testing or skip_all so you can't have already called plan. all_files_ok returns something true if all files test ok and false otherwise. Please see XT::Files for how to configure the files to be checked. WARNING: The API was changed with 0.005. Arguments to all_files_ok are now silently discarded and the method is now configured with XT::Files. add_stopwords( @entries ) Adds the words passed in @entries as stopwords. These words are not passed to the spell checker and are therefore accepted as correct. The add_stopwords method always returns $self and can therefore be used to chain methods together. This method can be called multiple times. This method only adds the words as passed in @entries. Unlike learn_stopwords from Pod::Wordlist it does not add the words plural too. EXAMPLES Example 1 Default Usage Check the spelling in all files in the bin, script and lib directory. use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::Spelling::Comment 0.002; if ( exists $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} ) { print "1..0 # SKIP these tests during AUTOMATED_TESTING\n"; exit 0; } Test::Spelling::Comment->new->add_stopwords()->all_files_ok; __DATA__ your stopwords go here Example 2 Check non-default directories or files Use the same test file as in Example 1 and create a .xtfilesrc config file in the root directory of your distribution. [Dirs] module = lib module = tools module = corpus/hello [Files] module = corpus/my.pm Example 3 Call file_ok directly use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::More 0.88; use Test::Spelling::Comment; if ( exists $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} ) { print "1..0 # SKIP these tests during AUTOMATED_TESTING\n"; exit 0; } my $comment = Test::Spelling::Comment->new; $comment->file_ok('corpus/hello.pl'); $comment->file_ok('tools/update.pl'); done_testing(); Example 4 Skip vim line Check the spelling in all files in the bin, script and lib directory and remove the vim comment. use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Test::Spelling::Comment 0.003; if ( exists $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} ) { print "1..0 # SKIP these tests during AUTOMATED_TESTING\n"; exit 0; } Test::Spelling::Comment->new( skip => '^# vim: .*' )->add_stopwords()->all_files_ok(); __DATA__ your stopwords go here SEE ALSO Comment::Spell::Check, Comment::Spell, Test::More, XT::Files SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at https://github.com/skirmess/Test-Spelling-Comment/issues.
