# App::Yath::Command::reload(3pm)

Reload the persistent test runner

## NAME

App::Yath::Command::reload - Reload the persistent test runner

## DESCRIPTION

This will send a SIGHUP to the persistent runner, forcing it to reload. This will also clear the blacklist allowing all preloads to load as normal.

## USAGE

```
    $ yath [YATH OPTIONS] reload [COMMAND OPTIONS]
```

### YATH OPTIONS

*Developer*

- \--dev-lib

  - \--dev-lib=lib

  - \-D

  - \-D=lib

  - \-Dlib

  - \--no-dev-lib

  Add paths to `@INC` before loading ANYTHING. This is what you use if you are developing yath or yath plugins to make sure the yath script finds the local code instead of the installed versions of the same code. You can provide an argument (-Dfoo) to provide a custom path, or you can just use -D without and arg to add lib, blib/lib and blib/arch.

  Can be specified multiple times

*Environment*

- \--persist-dir ARG

  - \--persist-dir=ARG

  - \--no-persist-dir

  Where to find persistence files.

- \--persist-file ARG

  - \--persist-file=ARG

  - \--pfile ARG

  - \--pfile=ARG

  - \--no-persist-file

  Where to find the persistence file. The default is /{system-tempdir}/project-yath-persist.json. If no project is specified then it will fall back to the current directory. If the current directory is not writable it will default to /tmp/yath-persist.json which limits you to one persistent runner on your system.

- \--project ARG

  - \--project=ARG

  - \--project-name ARG

  - \--project-name=ARG

  - \--no-project

  This lets you provide a label for your current project/codebase. This is best used in a .yath.rc file. This is necessary for a persistent runner.

*Help and Debugging*

- \--show-opts

  - \--no-show-opts

  Exit after showing what yath thinks your options mean

- \--version

  - \-V

  - \--no-version

  Exit after showing a helpful usage message

*Plugins*

- \--no-scan-plugins

  - \--no-no-scan-plugins

  Normally yath scans for and loads all App::Yath::Plugin::\* modules in order to bring in command-line options they may provide. This flag will disable that. This is useful if you have a naughty plugin that is loading other modules when it should not.

- \--plugins PLUGIN

  - \--plugins +App::Yath::Plugin::PLUGIN

  - \--plugins PLUGIN=arg1,arg2,...

  - \--plugin PLUGIN

  - \--plugin +App::Yath::Plugin::PLUGIN

  - \--plugin PLUGIN=arg1,arg2,...

  - \-pPLUGIN

  - \--no-plugins

  Load a yath plugin.
