package Perl::Compare; =pod =head1 NAME Perl::Compare - Normalized Comparison for Perl Source Trees =head2 STATUS In the original 0.01 implementation of this module, cobbled together as a proof-of-concept during a 9 hour caffiene-fuelled exploratory hacking session, the "Document Normalization" process was included/embedded inside of Perl::Compare. In the 6 months between then and the first beta of L, it was realised that normalization was both a more independant and important process than only as part of a Document comparison system. As such, normalization has been moved into the PPI core as L, and a basic form of comparison can be done with the following. sub compare ($$) { $_[0]->normalized == $_[1]->normalized } This can be done without needing either Perl::Compare OR L (a dependency of this module). This module is now primarily intended for use in testing entire directory trees of modules. Using this module for comparison of single files is discouraged, as it will unduly increase the number of module dependencies in your code/module. =head1 DESCRIPTION Perl::Compare is designed to allow you to create customised comparisons between different directory trees of Perl source code which are based on normalized documents, and thus ignore "unimportant" changes to files. =head2 Comparison Targets A comparison target is either a directory containing Perl code, a L object, or a file that contains a frozen L (not yet supported, dies with 'CODE INCOMPLETE'). =head1 METHODS =cut use strict; use File::chdir; # Imports $CWD use Params::Util '_INSTANCE'; use List::MoreUtils (); use Perl::Signature (); use Perl::Signature::Set (); use File::Find::Rule (); use vars qw{$VERSION %SYMBOLS}; BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.11'; # Change report symbols %SYMBOLS = ( added => '+', removed => '-', changed => '!', ); } ##################################################################### # Constructor and Accessors =pod =head2 new from => $target [, filter => $Rule ] The C constructor creates a new comparison object. It takes a number of different arguments to control it. =over =item from The mandatory C argument should be the target for the main source tree. The comparison report works on a from->to basis, so an entry will be 'added' if it is not present in the C target but is present in the comparison target. =item layer The optional C argument specifies the document normalisation layer to be used in the comparison. (1 by default) If you use a stored L file in the comparison, it B match the layer used when creating the Perl::Compare object. =item filter The optional C argument allows you to pass a L object that will limit the comparison to a particular set of files. By default, the comparison object will check .pm, .pl and .t files only. =back Returns a Perl::Compare object, or C on error or invalid arguments. =cut sub new { my $class = ref $_[0] ? ref shift : shift; my %args = @_; # Check params my $layer = exists $args{layer} ? (defined $args{layer} and $args{layer} eq '1') ? shift : return undef : 1; my $filter = _INSTANCE($args{filter}, 'File::Find::Rule') ? $args{filter} : File::Find::Rule->name( qr/\.(?:pm|pl|t)$/ ); $filter->relative->file; # Create the object my $self = bless { layer => 1, filter => $filter, }, $class; # Check the two things to compare $self->{from} = $self->target($args{from}) or return undef; $self; } =pod =head2 layer The C accessor returns the normalization layer to be used for the comparison. =cut sub layer { $_[0]->{layer} } =pod =head2 filter The C accessor returns the L filter to be used for finding the files for the comparison. =cut sub filter { $_[0]->{filter} } ##################################################################### # Perl::Compare Methods =pod =head2 compare $target The C method takes as argument a single comparison target and runs a standard comparison of the different from the contructor C argument to the target argument. The result is a reference to a HASH where the names of the files are the key, and the value is one of either 'added', 'removed', or 'changed'. Returns a reference to a HASH if there is a different between the two targets, false if there is no difference, or C on error. =cut sub compare { my $self = shift; my $to = $self->target(shift) or return undef; my $from = $self->{from} or return undef; # Get the list of all files my @files = List::MoreUtils::uniq( $from->files, $to->files ); # Build the set of changes my %result = (); foreach my $file ( @files ) { my $from_sig = $from->file($file); my $to_sig = $to->file($file); if ( $from_sig and $to_sig ) { if ( $from_sig->original ne $to_sig->original ) { $result{$file} = 'changed'; } } elsif ( $from_sig ) { $result{$file} = 'removed'; } elsif ( $to_sig ) { $result{$file} = 'added'; } } %result ? \%result : ''; } =pod =head2 compare_report $target The C takes the same argument and performs the same task as the C method, but instead of a structured hash, it formats the results into a conveniently-printable summary in the following format. + file/added/in_target.t ! file/functionally/different.pm - removed/in/target.pl Returns the report as a single string, or C on error =cut sub compare_report { my $self = shift; my $compare = $self->compare(@_) or return undef; my $report = ''; foreach my $file ( sort keys %$compare ) { $report .= "$SYMBOLS{$compare->{$file}} $file\n"; } $report; } ##################################################################### # Support Methods sub target { my $self = shift; my $it = defined $_[0] ? shift : return undef; if ( _INSTANCE($it, 'Perl::Signature::Set') ) { $it->layer == $self->layer or return undef; return $it; } elsif ( -d $it ) { my @files = $self->{filter}->in( $it ); local $CWD = $it; my $Set = Perl::Signature::Set->new( $self->layer ) or return undef; foreach my $file ( @files ) { $Set->add( $file ) or return undef; } return $Set; } elsif ( -f $it ) { # Check to see if it is a frozen ::Set die "CODE INCOMPLETE"; } undef; } 1; =pod =head1 SUPPORT Bugs should always be submitted via the CPAN bug tracker, located at L For general comments, contact the author. =head1 AUTHOR Adam Kennedy Eadamk@cpan.orgE =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2004 - 2008 Adam Kennedy.
