Running your tests with Apache

I have been working with TAP to test environment and other things that are not code.

Did I win the lottery?

http://pl129.pairlitesite.com/tests/action/lottery.t>
Is my server up?

http://pl129.pairlitesite.com/tests/action/ping.t>
etc.

I have been running these with cron and I get email about the results. Well the trouble is when I have failing tests I want to see if the tests are still failing. I was in a place that was blocking ssh traffic. So it lead me to this solution.

I wrote a little prove wrapper.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use CGI;

my $q = new CGI;
print $q->header;
print $q->start_html('prove');

my $file = $q->param('file');

my $ok_file = {
        '/tests/action/ping.t'    => 1,
        '/tests/action/lottery.t' => 1,
};
 
my $out;  

if ( $ok_file->{$file} ) {
        my $command = "/usr/home/pl129/public_html/bin/prove /usr/home/pl129/public_html$file 2>&1";
        $out = `$command`;
} else {
        $out = "
 $file not allowed 
";
}

print $q->h1($file);

print "
";

print "
$out
";

print $q->end_html;

AddHandler prove-type .t
Action prove-type /bin/proveit.cgi?v=1&file=
