| Subject: | Cannot install AnsibleModule when Mojolicious is version 7.46 (deprecated 'slurp') |
On a new system, I found AnsibleModule cannot be installed by cpan due to a failed test. The reported error is:
# at t/01_basic.t line 8.
# Tried to use 'AnsibleModule'.
# Error: "slurp" is not exported by the Mojo::Util module
# Can't continue after import errors at /root/.cpan/build/AnsibleModule-0.3-0/blib/lib/AnsibleModule.pm line 15.
Inspecting Mojo::Util, 'slurp' is totally gone (as of Mojolicious version 7.46).
There is a note that it is deprecated in favor of Mojo::File 'slurp' (an instance method).
I was able to make AnsibleModule install by:
1) going to its build folder created by cpan
2) editing lib/AnsibleModule.pm as per following diff:
15c15
< use Mojo::Util qw/slurp/;
---
Show quoted text
> use Mojo::File;
35c35,36
< my $args = slurp($ARGV[0]);
---
Show quoted text> my $file = Mojo::File->new($ARGV[0]);
> my $args = $file->slurp;
3) running 'make'
4) running 'make test'
5) running 'make install'
If slurp is absent from Mojo::File in older versions of Mojolicious, one might cater for all users of AnsibleModule by doing something like the following -
1) pull in both modules:
use Mojo::File;
use Mojo::Util ();
2) conditionally use whichever module implements slurp
my $args;
if (Mojo::Util->can('slurp')) {
$args = Mojo::Util::slurp($ARGV[0]);
} else {
my $file = Mojo::File->new($ARGV[0]);
$args = $file->slurp;
}
