  Mon Jan 10 12:57:08 2005 SSORICHE [...] cpan.org - Ticket #9589: Ticket created
Subject: Allow prove to run tests in the perl debugger
When writing tests and using prove -lv to test them it would be useful to tell prove to run the test file in the perl debugger. As part of test driven development, I'm often writing the tests along with the module itself. If the module tests aren't working as expected it would be great to debug it through prove. As it is now, I have to edit the test file to include use blib; then run make test, perl -d t/test.t. Using this method has already caused a number of problems. Thanks alot -- Shawn Sorichetti.

I would also like to see this feature added to prove. However, I'd like to see the -d flag work just like the perl -d flag. Specifically, so one could do something like: prove -d:ptkdb t/some_test.t and have the Tk debugger run for the test. BTW: this looks like a duplicate of Bug #9589 Thanks, Todd Hepler

I forgot to mention... This might conflict with the current meaning of the -d flag. If the meaning can't be changed, perhaps you can just pick some other flag for this functionality. Todd Hepler

I think we concluded that this wasn't likely to work - we can't really untangle the debuggers output from the TAP (which we capture).
