# Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable(3pm)

skips tests unless executable exists

## NAME

Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable - skips tests unless executable exists

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Test::More tests => 1;
    use Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable qw(
        /usr/bin/rsync
        perl
    );
    use_ok 'Mouse';
    # or
    use Test::More tests => 1;
    use Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable;
    skip_all_unless_exists '/bin/sh';
    skip_all_unless_exists 'perl';
    ok 1;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable checks if an executable exist and skips the test if it does not. The intent is to avoid needing to write this sort of boilerplate code:

```
    Test::More;
    BEGIN {
        do_i_have_all_my_optional_deps() ? plan skip_all : plan tests => 42
    }
```

## INTERFACE

Both Test::Skip::UnlessExistsExecutable import method and test\_exists\_executable method take the name of a program or the file path of executable. It checks if the program exists and is executable.
