Test::CPAN::Changes - Validation of the Changes file in a CPAN distribution
# in xt/author/cpan-changes.t use Test::More; use Test::CPAN::Changes; changes_ok; # checking for specific version use My::Module; use Test::More; use Test::CPAN::Changes; changes_ok({ version => My::Module->VERSION });
This module allows CPAN authors to write automated tests to ensure their changelogs match the specification.
Simple wrapper around changes_file_ok. Declares a test plan, and uses the default filename of Changes.
changes_file_ok
Changes
Checks the contents of the changes file against the specification. No plan is declared and if the filename is undefined, Changes is used.
Four tests are performed. The file must be parsable, must have releases in it, and the versions and dates listed must be valid.
%arg may include a version entry, in which case two additional tests are performed. The entry for that version must exist and have content. This is useful to ensure that the version currently being released has documented changes.
