1. You install a module named Bear 2. You install the module Human, which depends on the availability of Bear’s ride() method 3. You install an new version of Bear, which does NOT have the ride() method; it’s not safe to ride a bear! 4. Human’s attempt to ride() fails 5. Human gets eaten by Bear
Sources of upgrade fear
I
We should not assume that CPAN authors have a formal commitment to their APIs, they may change at any time
I
No trivial way of verifying the whole perl installation with distributions
I
CPAN/Perl community has usually been good at preserving backwards compatibility
I
Modules might get used in an unintended way from the authors perspective
How to detect breakage
You could do the following and hope that you detect the bug/ breakage: I
Run your code and see
I
Run tests for YOUR code
I
Check cpantesters.org
What we want
I
Run tests for all distributions loadable in @INC
I
Run tests for the distributions that depend on the newly upgraded distribution
I
Run tests in all environments (development, test/CI, staging and production)
Post Install Tests Requirements
I
The tests for the installed modules must be available(installed)
I
It must be possible to locate tests for a specific distribution and version
I
In order to run the tests for only the dependent distributions it must be possible to do determine this distribution’s reverse dependencies
I
Distribution dependencies are saved and installed
I
Writing a best practices guide for tests
Demo
I
Extension of Module::Build
I
Environment variable PERL_INSTALL_TESTS controls if tests should be installed when using ./Build install(Also possible to use ./Build installtests without the ENV)
I
Tests is installed under $install_base/auto/tests/$distname-$distversion/
I
Test files are written to the .packlist file
I
Action testinc uses the ExtUtils::Installed distribution to retrieve the modules that would be loaded and their test files
I
Action testrdeps is a fake action. The logic is hardcoded for demonstration purposes
Future Work / Considerations
I
Permissions - Test that writes to devices, sockets(ports < 1024), t/... and more
I
Currently no trivial way of finding reverse dependencies locally
