| Subject: | Mysterious test failures (because of using system perl?) |
On some of my smokers (e.g. the CentOS7 smoker) the test suite fails like this;
...
# Failed test 'output'
# at t/basic.t line 18.
# got: ''
# expected: 'example.com
# '
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2.
t/basic.t ..
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/2 subtests
# Failed test 'output'
# at t/page.t line 384.
# got: ''

Looking with strace into the running test there were the same syntax errors visible like described in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121934 . It seems that the extract-links script is run with the system perl here, not the currently used perl. Probably it's best to change the shebang from "#!/usr/bin/env perl" to just "#!perl". EUMM would do the proper shebang replacement for the current perl. And for testing, use blib/script/extract-links (because there the correct shebang is already replaced). (Windows is another story because there's no concept of shebangs, here you maybe have to use $^X or so).
