Dada Mail TAP Tests This directory holds TAP-compatible tests for Dada Mail. They're run using the, "prove" command, like so: (cd into the, "dada" directory) prompt>prove -r The Dada Mail testing suite is constantly evolving. Currently, there is no automated testing done before installation, because there's no automated installation of Dada Mail! But, running the prove command should do what you think it should do. If you do not want this directory, you may remove it, without impacting Dada Mail's behavior. You may, at your leisure, run these tests manually, using the, "prove" command before an installation. Doing so does not require you to first configure Dada Mail (a rational and temporary configuration environment will automatically be created). You may also run these tests with a Dada Mail that has already been configured without fear that your current installation will be impacted. Dada Mail has the ability to use various backends, by default, the PlainText/Db and SQLite (if available) backends are tested, but you may also test the MySQL and Postgres backend. To do so, change the configurations set in the, "__Test_Config_Vars.pm" file in this directory. You may also need to tweak the SQL settings. You do not need to create the tables needed, but do make sure the, "extras/SQL" directory and its contents have not been removed.
