A set of utilities to help you write and run your perl tests directly from your favorite editor.
... you might want to map to handy keystrokes:
:call GotoCorresponding( <open_with:tabnew|split|..[default=edit]> )
If you are currently editing a module, this function will open the corresponding .t file. If you are currently editing a test file, it will open the corresponding module. Of course, this requires you to have a correspondance of tests and modules in the first place.
If the corresponding file is already open, it will bring you to the right buffer.
See http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2013/03/discoverable-tests-and-creating-testing-standards.html for the details of this and also to learn about the inspiration for this plugin.
:call RunTestForCurrentSub()
When working on a subroutine, you may feel like running the corresponding test. The function will find your corresponding test file and will try to run the subroutine in that test file that is supposed to test the subroutine you are currently changing.
To execute only a given subroutine from your testfile you should add something like the following after your "use"-statements:
if ( $ARGV[ 0 ] ) {
no strict 'refs';
&{$ARGV[ 0 ]}();
done_testing;
exit 0;
This plugin comes with a set of unit tests. To run the tests, you need to install another vim plugin: vim-unittest. It is available on github: https://github.com/h1mesuke/vim-unittest
With vim-unittest installed, cd to the directory where you installed vim-perl-testing to and open a vim instance with one of the file in the test/ directory. Then simply run :UnitTest
