# App::Yath::Options::Finder(3pm)

Finder options for Yath.

## NAME

App::Yath::Options::Finder - Finder options for Yath.

## DESCRIPTION

This is where the command line options for discovering test files are defined.

## PROVIDED OPTIONS

### YATH OPTIONS (PRE-COMMAND)

*Finder Options*

- \--finder MyFinder

  - \--finder +Test2::Harness::Finder::MyFinder

  - \--no-finder

  Specify what Finder subclass to use when searching for files/processing the file list. Use the "+" prefix to specify a fully qualified namespace, otherwise Test2::Harness::Finder::XXX namespace is assumed.

### COMMAND OPTIONS

*Finder Options*

- \--changed path/to/file

  - \--no-changed

  Specify one or more files as having been changed.

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--changed-only

  - \--no-changed-only

  Only search for tests for changed files (Requires a coverage data source, also requires a list of changes either from the --changed option, or a plugin that implements **changed\_files()** or **changed\_diff()**)

- \--changes-diff path/to/diff.diff

  - \--no-changes-diff

  Path to a diff file that should be used to find changed files for use with --changed-only. This must be in the same format as \`git diff -W --minimal -U1000000\`

- \--changes-exclude-file path/to/file

  - \--no-changes-exclude-file

  Specify one or more files to ignore when looking at changes

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--changes-exclude-loads

  - \--no-changes-exclude-loads

  Exclude coverage tests which only load changed files, but never call code from them. (default: off)

- \--changes-exclude-nonsub

  - \--no-changes-exclude-nonsub

  Exclude changes outside of subroutines (perl files only) (default: off)

- \--changes-exclude-opens

  - \--no-changes-exclude-opens

  Exclude coverage tests which only **open()** changed files, but never call code from them. (default: off)

- \--changes-exclude-pattern '(apple\|pear\|orange)'

  - \--no-changes-exclude-pattern

  Ignore files matching this pattern when looking for changes. Your pattern will be inserted unmodified into a \`$file =~ m/$pattern/\` check.

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--changes-filter-file path/to/file

  - \--no-changes-filter-file

  Specify one or more files to check for changes. Changes to other files will be ignored

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--changes-filter-pattern '(apple\|pear\|orange)'

  - \--no-changes-filter-pattern

  Specify a pattern for change checking. When only running tests for changed files this will limit which files are checked for changes. Only files that match this pattern will be checked. Your pattern will be inserted unmodified into a \`$file =~ m/$pattern/\` check.

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--changes-include-whitespace

  - \--no-changes-include-whitespace

  Include changed lines that are whitespace only (default: off)

- \--changes-plugin Git

  - \--changes-plugin +App::Yath::Plugin::Git

  - \--no-changes-plugin

  What plugin should be used to detect changed files.

- \--default-at-search ARG

  - \--default-at-search=ARG

  - \--no-default-at-search

  Specify the default file/dir search when 'AUTHOR\_TESTING' is set. Defaults to './xt'. The default AT search is only used if no files were specified at the command line

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--default-search ARG

  - \--default-search=ARG

  - \--no-default-search

  Specify the default file/dir search. defaults to './t', './t2', and 'test.pl'. The default search is only used if no files were specified at the command line

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--durations file.json

  - \--durations http://example.com/durations.json

  - \--no-durations

  Point at a json file or url which has a hash of relative test filenames as keys, and 'SHORT', 'MEDIUM', or 'LONG' as values. This will override durations listed in the file headers. An exception will be thrown if the durations file or url does not work.

- \--durations-threshold ARG

  - \--durations-threshold=ARG

  - \--Dt ARG

  - \--Dt=ARG

  - \--no-durations-threshold

  Only fetch duration data if running at least this number of tests. Default (-j value + 1)

- \--exclude-file t/nope.t

  - \--no-exclude-file

  Exclude a file from testing

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--exclude-list file.txt

  - \--exclude-list http://example.com/exclusions.txt

  - \--no-exclude-list

  Point at a file or url which has a new line separated list of test file names to exclude from testing. Starting a line with a '#' will comment it out (for compatibility with Test2::Aggregate list files).

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--exclude-pattern t/nope.t

  - \--no-exclude-pattern

  Exclude a pattern from testing, matched using m/$PATTERN/

  Can be specified multiple times

- \--maybe-durations file.json

  - \--maybe-durations http://example.com/durations.json

  - \--no-maybe-durations

  Point at a json file or url which has a hash of relative test filenames as keys, and 'SHORT', 'MEDIUM', or 'LONG' as values. This will override durations listed in the file headers. An exception will be thrown if the durations file or url does not work.

- \--no-long

  - \--no-no-long

  Do not run tests that have their duration flag set to 'LONG'

- \--only-long

  - \--no-only-long

  Only run tests that have their duration flag set to 'LONG'

  - \--rerun=path/to/log.jsonl

  - \--rerun=plugin\_specific\_string

  - \--no-rerun

  Re-Run tests from a previous run from a log file (or last log file). Plugins can intercept this, such as YathUIDB which will grab a run UUID and derive tests to re-run from that.

  - \--rerun-all=plugin\_specific\_string

  - \--no-rerun-all

  - \--rerun-missed=plugin\_specific\_string

  - \--no-rerun-missed

  - \--rerun-passed=plugin\_specific\_string

  - \--no-rerun-passed

  Re-Run passed tests from a previous run from a log file (or last log file). Plugins can intercept this, such as YathUIDB which will grab a run UUID and derive tests to re-run from that.

- \--rerun-plugin Foo

  - \--rerun-plugin +App::Yath::Plugin::Foo

  - \--no-rerun-plugin

  What plugin(s) should be used for rerun (will fallback to other plugins if the listed ones decline the value, this is just used ot set an order of priority)

  - \--search=ARG

  - \--no-search

  List of tests and test directories to use instead of the default search paths. Typically these can simply be listed as command line arguments without the --search prefix.
