Hi All,

I am starting to build unit test for an existing software with Test::Class. How do you suggest organizing these test classes so they are easily run by Test::Harness? Unfortunately the code is not created using ExtUtils::MakeMaker and h2xs so I need to write my own script to run the test classes.

This is my runtest.pl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Test::Class;

my @test_classes;

BEGIN { 
        my @test_class_files;

        if (@ARGV) {
                push @test_class_files, @ARGV;
        } else {
                my @test_class_files = glob "UnitTest/*.pm";
        }

        foreach my $i (@test_class_files) {
                if ($i =~ /\//) {
                        $i =~ s/\//::/g;
                        $i =~ s/\.pm$//;
                }

                push @test_classes, $i;
        }

        foreach my $i (@test_classes) {
                eval "require $i";
                die $@ if $@;
        }
}

Test::Class->runtests;
[download]

The code is structured this way: Each application module has its counterpart under UnitTest namespace. For example: ELRes::Room tests are written in UnitTest::ELRes::Room class.

And this is how I run that script:

$ ./runtest.pl UnitTest/ELRes/Room.pm

OR

$ ./runtest.pl UnitTest::ELRes::Room
[download]

Or to run all test classes, I only need to call 'runtest.pl' without parameters.

I have no idea of how to convert this script into using Test::Harness as if each test class is a .t script. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks for your help...

UPDATE: Explained how I expect the code to work and the directory structure it expects to have
