Bug #123343 for File-BaseDir: Tests fail when XDG_CONFIG

Sat Oct 21 01:46:58 2017 KENTNL [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Tests fail when XDG_CONFIG_HOME set in ENV

Setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME overrides the default mechanic of reading $HOME/.config/user-dirs.dirs

And subsequently the default of that allows other variables like XDG_DESKTOP_DIR to override paths

The end result is:

export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="/root/config"
export XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="/root/invalid"

Results in these 2 types of failure:

1. ENV var and expected ${HOME} conjugation differ:

#   Failed test at t/03_userdirs.t line 38.
#          got: '/root/invalid'
#     expected: '/var/tmp/portage/dev-perl/File-BaseDir-0.70.0/temp/DzB9uPscin/Workspace'

2. xdg conjugated path and ${HOME} conjugation differs:

Please note that this module has been put up for adoption. I'm not able to maintain it anymore for several reasons, but bug reports are still coming to me.
