Test2::Env(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Test2::Env(3perl) NAME Test2::Env - Documentation for environment variables used or set by Test2. DESCRIPTION This is a list of environment variables that are either set by, or read by Test2. AUTHOR_TESTING This env var is read by Test2. When set Test2 will run tests that are normally skipped unless a module author is doing extra author-specific testing. AUTOMATED_TESTING This env var is read by Test2. When set this indicates the tests are run by an automated system and no human interaction is possible. See Test2::Require::AuthorTesting. EXTENDED_TESTING This env var is read by Test2. When set it indicates some extended testing that should normally be skipped will be run. See Test2::Require::ExtendedTesting. HARNESS_ACTIVE This env var is read by Test2. It is usually set by "prove" (Test::Harness) or "yath" (App::Yath). NONINTERACTIVE_TESTING This env var is read by Test2. When set this indicates the testing will not be interactive. See Test2::Require::NonInteractiveTesting. RELEASE_TESTING This env var is read by Test2. When set this indicates that release testing is being done, which may run more tests than normal. See Test2::Require::ReleaseTesting. T2_FORMATTER This can be used to set the formatter that Test2 will use. If set to a string without a '+' prefix, then 'Test2::Formatter::' will be added to the start of the module name. If '+' is present it will be stripped and no further modification will be made to the module name. T2_IN_PRELOAD Test2 sets this when preload mode is active. This is mainly used by App::Yath and similar tools that preload Test2, then fork to run tests. TABLE_TERM_SIZE This is used to set a terminal width for things like diagnostic message tables. TEST2_ACTIVE Test2 sets this variable when tests are running. TEST2_ENABLE_PLUGINS This can be used to force plugins to be loaded whent he Test2 API is loaded. It takes a list of one or more plugin names seperated by comma. If the module name does not have a '+' in front of it then the "Test2::Plugin::" namespace is assumed and added. If a '+' is present at the start of a module name it will be stripped and no further modification will be made. Examples: TEST2_ENABLE_PLUGINS=BailOnFail Test2_ENABLE_PLUGINS=SRand,+My::Plugin::Name TEST_ACTIVE Set by Test2 when tests are running. TS_MAX_DELTA Used to determine how many max lines of output will be provided when is() finds a deep data strucgture mismatch.
