Chapter 4

If one of the tests has failures, then the output will look like the following:

$ make test

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl  Iblib/arch  Iblib/lib \

 I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686 linux  I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 \

 e  use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=0; runtests @ARGV;  t/*.t

t/01load......ok                                                             

t/02basic.....FAILED test 2                                                  

        Failed 1/2 tests, 50.00% okay

t/03errors....ok                                                             

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed

t/02basic.t                2    1  50.00%  2

Failed 1/3 test scripts, 66.67% okay. 1/6 subtests failed, 83.33% okay.

Here test number 2 in t/02basic.t has failed. The test output is clear enough, but it 

doesn't include any line numbers. To get the actual output from each of the test 

scripts, you can add the TEST_VERBOSE=1 option to the make test run:

$ make test TEST_VERBOSE=1

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl  Iblib/arch  Iblib/lib \

 I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i686 linux  I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 \

 e  use Test::Harness qw(&runtests $verbose); $verbose=1; runtests @ARGV;  t/*.t

t/01load......1..1

ok 1

ok

t/02basic.....1..2

ok 1

not ok 2

# Failed test 2 in t/02basic.t at line 5

FAILED test 2

       Failed 1/2 tests, 50.00% okay

t/03errors....1..3

ok 1

ok 2

ok 3

ok

Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed

t/02basic.t                2    1  50.00%  2

Failed 1/3 test scripts, 66.67% okay. 1/6 subtests failed, 83.33% okay.

Now the filename and line number where the test failed is visible t/02basic.t,

line 5.
