Running specific tests

guiwp has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How to run specific tests?Today I searched the web how tests is done in perl, just found a stackoverflow answer but its not working.

t/02-login.t .. skipped: extended test
Files=1, Tests=0,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr +  0.00 sys =  0.03 CPU
+)
Result: NOTESTS
[download]

Seems that the test couldn't be run

Try `EXTENDED_TESTING=1 prove t/02-login.t` [download] Normally the tests themselves decide whether they should be skipped or not. The test uses Test::Is, which in this case apparently checks the `EXTENDED_TESTING` environment variable.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thank you, more than that I just had to add -Ilib too: `EXTENDED_TESTING=1 prove -Ilib t/02-login.t`	[reply] [d/l]

BTW, the short form of `prove -Ilib` is `prove -l`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Please submit some short test code and your expected and actual results. The prove command you provided will run all tests in the argument file 't/02-login.t'. Do you mean just specific tests inside that file? Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply]

Do you mean just specific tests inside that file? Would be nice too. Can you tell me how to do it?	[reply]

It is impossible as the granularity is a test file	[reply]
