Description-en: portable filename comparison
Many cross-platform test failures -- particularly on Win32 -- are due
to hard-coded file paths being used in comparison tests.
.
my $file = get_file(); # returns "foo\bar.t";
is( $file, "foo/bar.t" ); # fails on Win32
.
Test::Filename provides some handy functions to convert all those path
separators automatically so filename tests will just DWIM.
.
The alternative is to write your own utility subroutine and use it
everywhere or just keep on littering your test code with calls to
File::Spec -- yuck!
.
is( $file, File::Spec->canonpath("some/path"), "should pass" );
.
Since this module is so simple, you might not think it worth including
as a dependency. After all, it's not that hard to always remember to
use File::Spec, Path::Tiny or some other file utility, right? But odds
are that, at some point, you'll be so busy writing tests that you'll
forget and hard-code a path in your haste to show what a clever
programmer you are.
.
So just use this module and stop worrying about it. You'll be happier
and so will anyone trying to install your modules on Win32.
