# AnyEvent::XMPP::TestClient(3pm)

XMPP Test Client for tests

## NAME

AnyEvent::XMPP::TestClient - XMPP Test Client for tests

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This module is a helper module to ease the task of testing. If you want to run the developer test suite you have to set the environment variable `"NET_XMPP2_TEST"` to something like this:

```
   NET_XMPP2_TEST="test_me@your_xmpp_server.tld:secret_password"
```

Most tests will try to connect two accounts, so please take a server that allows two connections from the same IP.

If you also want to run the MUC tests (see AnyEvent::XMPP::Ext::MUC) you also need to setup the environment variable `"NET_XMPP2_TEST_MUC"` to contain the domain of a MUC service:

```
   NET_XMPP2_TEST_MUC="conference.your_xmpp_server.tld"
```

If you see some tests fail and want to know more about the protocol flow you can enable the protocol debugging output by setting `"NET_XMPP2_TEST_DEBUG"` to '1':

```
   NET_XMPP2_TEST_DEBUG=1
```

(NOTE: You will only see the output of this by running a single test)

If one of the tests takes longer than the preconfigured 20 seconds default timeout in your setup you can set `"NET_XMPP2_TEST_TIMEOUT"`:

```
   NET_XMPP2_TEST_TIMEOUT=60  # for a 1 minute timeout
```

## CLEANING UP

If the tests went wrong somewhere or you interrupted the tests you might want to delete the accounts from the server manually, then run:

```
   perl t/z_*_unregister.t
```

## MANUAL TESTING

If you just want to run a single test yourself, just execute the register test before doing so:

```
   perl t/z_00_register.t
```

And then you could eg. run:

```
   perl t/z_03_iq_auth.t
```
