NAME

Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase - Metabase transport for Test::Reporter

VERSION

version 1.999008

SYNOPSIS

        my $report = Test::Reporter->new(
            transport => 'Metabase',
            transport_args => [
              uri     => 'http://metabase.example.com:3000/',
              id_file => '/home/jdoe/.metabase/metabase_id.json',
            ],
        );

        # use space-separated in a CPAN::Reporter config.ini
        transport = Metabase uri http://metabase.example.com:3000/ ...

DESCRIPTION

This module submits a Test::Reporter report to the specified Metabase instance.

This requires a network connection to the Metabase uri provided. If you wish to save reports during offline operation, see Test::Reporter::Transport::File. (Eventually, you may be able to run a local Metabase instance to queue reports for later transmission, but this feature has not yet been developed.)

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 => 'Metabase',
            transport_args => [
              uri     => 'http://metabase.example.com:3000/',
              id_file => '/home/jdoe/.metabase/metabase_id.json',
            ],
        );

Arguments include:

"uri" (required)

        The "uri" argument gives the network location of a Metabase instance
        to receive reports.

"id_file" (required)

        The "id_file" argument must be a path to a Metabase ID file. If you
        do not already have an ID file, use the metabase-profile program to
        create one.

          $ metabase-profile

        This creates the file metabase_id.json in the current directory. You
        can also give an "--output" argument to save the file to a different
        location or with a different name.

"client" (optional)

        The "client" argument is optional and specifies the type of
        Metabase::Client to use to transmit reports to the target Metabase.
        It defaults to Metabase::Client::Simple.

METHODS

These methods are only for internal use by Test::Reporter.

new

my $sender = Test::Reporter::Transport::File->new( $params );

The "new" method is the object constructor.

send

$sender->send( $report );

The "send" method transmits the report.
