NAME

       Test::File::ShareDir - Create a Fake ShareDir for your modules for testing.

VERSION

       version 0.3.1

SYNOPSIS

	   use Test::More;

	   # use FindBin; optional

	   use Test::File::ShareDir
	       # -root => "$FindBin::Bin/../" # optional,
	       -share => {
		   -module => { 'My::Module' => 'share/MyModule' }
		   -dist   => { 'My-Dist'    => 'share/somefolder' }
	       };

	   use My::Module;

	   use File::ShareDir qw( module_dir dist_dir );

	   module_dir( 'My::Module' ) # dir with files from $dist/share/MyModule

	   dist_dir( 'My-Dist' ) # dir with files from $dist/share/somefolder

DESCRIPTION

       This module only has support for creating 'new' style share dirs and are NOT compatible with old File::ShareDirs.

       For this reason, unless you have File::ShareDir 1.00 or later installed, this module will not be usable by you.

IMPORTING

   -root
       This parameter is the prefix the other paths are relative to.

       If this parameter is not specified, it defaults to the Current Working Directory ( "CWD" ).

       In versions prior to 0.3.0, this value was mandatory.

       The rationale behind using "CWD" as the default value is as follows.

       o   Most users of this module are likely to be using it to test distributions

       o   Most users of this module will be using it in "$project/t/" to load files from "$project/share/"

       o   Most "CPAN" tools run tests with "CWD" = $project

       Therefor, defaulting to "CWD" is a reasonably sane default for most people, but where it is not it can still be overridden.

	 -root => "$FindBin::Bin/../" # resolves to project root from t/ regardless of Cwd.

   -share
       This parameter is mandatory, and contains a "hashref" containing the data that explains what directories you want shared.

	 -share =>  { ..... }

       -module

       "-module" contains a "hashref" mapping Module names to path names for module_dir style share dirs.

	 -share => {
	   -module => { 'My::Module' => 'share/mymodule/', }
	 }

	 ...

	 module_dir('My::Module')

       Notedly, it is a "hashref", which means there is a limitation of one share dir per module. This is simply because having more than one
       share dir per module makes no sense at all.

       -dist

       "-dist" contains a "hashref" mapping Distribution names to path names for dist_dir style share dirs. The same limitation applied to
       "-module" applies here.

	 -share => {
	   -dist => { 'My-Dist' => 'share/mydist' }
	 }
	 ...
	 dist_dir('My-Dist')
