NAME Test::Reporter::Transport::Socket - Simple socket transport for Test::Reporter VERSION version 0.34 SYNOPSIS my $report = Test::Reporter->new( transport => 'Socket', transport_args => [ host => 'metabase.relay.example.com', port => 58008, ], ); # use space-separated in a CPAN::Reporter config.ini transport = Socket host metabase.relay.example.com ... DESCRIPTION This is a Test::Reporter::Transport that sends test report data serialised over a TCP socket. The idea is to keep dependencies in the tester perl to a bear minimum and offload the bulk of submission to a Metabase instance to a relay. USAGE See Test::Reporter and Test::Reporter::Transport for general usage information. Transport arguments Unlike most other Transport classes, this class requires transport arguments to be provided as key-value pairs: my $report = Test::Reporter->new( transport => 'Socket', transport_args => [ host => 'metabase.relay.example.com', port => 58008, ], ); Arguments include: host (required) The name or IP address of a host where we want to send our serialised data. This may also be an arrayref of the above. A connection will be attempted to each item in turn until a successful connection is made. port The TCP port on the above host to send our serialised data. METHODS These methods are only for internal use by Test::Reporter. new my $sender = Test::Reporter::Transport::Socket->new( %params ); The new method is the object constructor. send $sender->send( $report ); The send method transmits the report.
