# Dist::Zilla::Plugin::RunExtraTests(3pm)

support running xt tests via dzil test

## NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::RunExtraTests - support running xt tests via dzil test

## VERSION

version 0.029

## SYNOPSIS

In your dist.ini:

```
  [RunExtraTests]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Runs *xt* tests when the test phase is run (e.g. `"dzil test"`, `"dzil release"` etc).  *xt/release*, *xt/author*, and *xt/smoke* will be tested based on the values of the appropriate environment variables (`"RELEASE_TESTING"`, `"AUTHOR_TESTING"`, and `"AUTOMATED_TESTING"`), which are set by `"dzil test"`. Additionally, all other *xt* files and directories will always be run.

If `"RunExtraTests"` is listed after one of the normal test-running plugins (e.g. `"MakeMaker"` or `"ModuleBuild"`), then the dist will not be rebuilt between running the normal tests and the extra tests.
