Bug #21690 for CPAN-Reporter: separate edit_report and send

Subject:

separate edit_report and send_report configuration

Would it be possible to add separate edit_report and send_report configuration for success and failure reports? I personally would like to edit_report_success = no send_report_success = yes edit_report_failure = ask/yes send_report_failure = yes Gabor

I've been considering this as well, but in a different fashion. I've been considering chaining the options as with "ask/yes". So what you've described would be: edit_report = fail/ask/yes ("On failure, ask with a default of yes") Contrast to edit_report = ask/fail ("Ask, with a default of yes if it has failed and no otherwise") I might need to add "pass" like "fail" but with opposite logic. The code for it is easy. Designing it right and explaining it clearly is the tougher challenge. But it's in the queue for a future release.

At first I thought that ask/yes meant ask if failure, yes if success but and when it did not work as expected I had to read the docs.... I think this "edit_report = fail/ask/yes" is quite confusing, especially if then you add "edit_report = pass/ask/yes" and "edit_report = na/ask/yes" how will you separate them? Gabor

I'll throw this onto this ticket since it seems like a similar desire. I wish to configure test_report such that... 1. When the test is a pass send the report without asking me. 2. When the test is a fail allow me to edit the report and decide if I should send. This setup allows automated testing, reporting and installation to proceed without my interaction when everything is going fine. It only requires my input when something has gone wrong, which is how it should be. I can do one or the other, but not both. In order to do that I need an option to only ask about sending on failure and send without prompting otherwise. None of the existing options seem to cover this. A syntax that makes sense to me is: edit_report = pass:no, fail:ask/no send_report = pass:yes, fail:ask/yes Which is analagous to: edit_report => { fail => "ask/no", pass => "no" } send_report => { fail => "ask/yes", pass => "yes" }
