NAME
Test::Lintian::Templates -- Helper routines dealing with templates
SYNOPSIS
use Test::Lintian::Templates qw(fill_template);
my $data = { 'placeholder' => 'value' }; my $file =
'/path/to/generated/file';
fill_template("$file.in", $file, $data);
DESCRIPTION
Routines for dealing with templates in Lintian test specifications.
FUNCTIONS
copy_skeleton_template_sets(INSTRUCTIONS, RUN_PATH, SUITE, TEST_SET)
Copies template sets belonging to SUITE into the test working
directory RUN_PATH according to INSTRUCTIONS. The INSTRUCTIONS are
the target directory relative to RUN_PATH followed by the name of
the template set in parentheses. Multiple such instructions must be
separated by commas.
remove_surplus_templates(SRC_DIR, TARGET_DIR)
Removes from TARGET_DIR any templates that have corresponding
originals in SRC_DIR.
fill_skeleton_templates(INSTRUCTIONS, HASH, EPOCH, RUN_PATH, TEST_SET)
Fills the templates specified in INSTRUCTIONS using the data in
HASH. Only fills templates when the generated files are not present
or are older than either the file modification time of the template
or the age of the data as evidenced by EPOCH. The INSTRUCTIONS are
the target directory relative to RUN_PATH followed by the name of
the whitelist in parentheses. Multiple instructions must be
separated by commas.
fill_whitelisted_templates(DIR, WHITE_LIST, HASH, HASH_EPOCH)
Generates all files in array WHITE_LIST relative to DIR from their
templates, which are assumed to have the same file name but with
extension '.in', using data provided in HASH. The optional argument
HASH_EPOCH can be used to preserve files when no generation is
necessary.
fill_all_templates(HASH, DIR)
Fills all templates in DIR with data from HASH.
fill_template(TEMPLATE, GENERATED, HASH, HASH_EPOCH, DELIMITERS)
Fills template TEMPLATE with data from HASH and places the result
in file GENERATED. When given HASH_EPOCH, will evaluate beforehand
if a substitution is necessary based on file modification times.
The optional parameter DELIMITERS can be used to change the
standard delimiters.
