Bug #111093 for CGI-Wiki: Frequent test failures

Mon Jan 11 14:33:26 2016 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Frequent test failures

See http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=CGI-Wiki%200.63 for an overview. It seems to be sqlite-related, but I don't see the exact reason. Also: DBI is not specified as configure_requires. This explains the UNKNOWN reports, for example http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/1b997c1e-add5-11e5-8b12-00dc84d48818

Here is an example of the second problem SREZIC described. I attempted to install this distribution against perl-5.27.9 today. Here is a portion of the 'cpanm' build.log: ##### $ dumpjson.pl results/perl-5.27.9/analysis/DOM.CGI-Wiki-0.63.log.json { author => "DOM", dist => "CGI-Wiki", distname => "CGI-Wiki-0.63", distversion => 0.63, grade => "NA", prereqs => undef, test_output => [ "Running Makefile.PL", "Can't locate DBI.pm in \@INC (you may need to install the DBI module) (\@INC contains: /home/jkeenan/prep528/testing/perl-5.27.9/lib/site_perl/5.27.9/x86_64-linux /home/jkeenan/prep528/testing/perl-5.27.9/lib/site_perl/5.27.9 /home/jkeenan/prep528/testing/perl-5.27.9/lib/5.27.9/x86_64-linux /home/jkeenan/prep528/testing/perl-5.27.9/lib/5.27.9 .) at Makefile.PL line 2.", "BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 2.", "-> N/A", "-> FAIL Configure failed for CGI-Wiki-0.63.

I suspect it has been effectively abandoned. Dominic, if that is the case, could you move it to backcpan? Otherwise, could you put it on github.com and accept pull requests? (Other CPAN distributions depend on this one.) Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

I was subsequently informed (by Kake) that "CGI::Wiki has been renamed to Wiki::Toolkit." That makes an even stronger case for moving this library from the active CPAN to the backcpan. This can be done simply by having one of the library's maintainers logging into pause.perl.org, hitting the Delete Files link and selecting all versions of this library still on the active CPAN. Doing so means that people running automated testing of CPAN libraries -- people like ANDK, SREZIC and myself -- won't have to spend time chasing down reasons for failures in this distribution. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

Done.
