Bug #11406 for CPANPLUS: config "lost"

Mon Feb 07 12:02:14 2005 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

config "lost"

If I modify the config with 's reconfigure' but neglect to save with 's save' the next execution is crippled, in the sense that '?' or 'cpanp -h' yields no info. The new config appears to have been saved. perl v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi CPANPLUS 0.51 linux 2.6.10 i686 athlon i386

This works just fine for me actually. And '?' and '-h' actually don't require a config to output anything, so perhaps you can show me a bit more elaborately what it you were doing, and what happened and what you mean by 'crippled'

I'm afraid i have no idea what could cause this, and i'm unable to reproduce this with any of my boxes. My last guess is; try the 0.053 release on CPAN, and see if that fixes your troubles.

No joy with 0.53. Does that mean that I have to solve my problem muself? Ohmygosh! :-) Preliminary result: Shell/Default.pm, line 499, $self->_term_rowcount is 25, but stty rows is 80. Reducing the latter to 25 removes the problem. So its probably a problem with my pager.

Well, the relevant code that sets these numbers is in CPANPLUS::Shell around line 272: if ( can_load(modules => {'Term::Size' => '0.0'}) ) { my ($cols, $rows) = Term::Size::chars(); return $rows; } So you may have found a bug in Term::Size. I'll close this ticket now, good luck hunting it down.
