Re: Detect is my test run by cpantesters

From the CPAN Authors FAQ:

"Can I tell if my module is being tested by an automated client (a.k.a. 'smoker')?"
Automated smoke testers should set $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} to a true value. This allows authors to skip certain tests (or include certain tests) when the results are not being monitored by a human being.
One could even go so far as to halt building and testing a distribution under automated testing by exiting with zero at the top of the Makefile.PL or Build.PL file:
exit 0 if $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING};

Hope this helps!

It might also be worth checking `$ENV{EXTENDED_TESTING}` - this is the recommended environment variable that people are supposed to set to opt-in to running additional test cases. See also: Lancaster Consensus. toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l]
