| Subject: | Tests hang on Windows |
Granted, the module probably does not make much sense on a Windows system. But the hanging test suite is causing an automated smoker to hang.
I did a little debugging what was hanging: it's the t\add_delete_user_groups.t test, and it hangs while trying to get a lock. Actually it tries over and over. Probably the interesting lines seen in the debugger are:
File::Flock::Retry::_lock(C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/File/Flock/Retry.pm:50):
50: if (flock($self->{_fh}, ($self->{shared} ? LOCK_SH : LOCK_EX) | LOCK_NB)) {
And:
DB<5> x $!
0 'Inappropriate I/O control operation'
The used path is (mixed directory separator could be fine here, don't know):
DB<3> x $path
0 'C:\\Users\\IEUser\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\6SdUaXzqYj/simple/passwd'
Besides of fixing File::Flock::Retry, another solution would be something like a 'die "OS unsupported" if $^O eq "MSWin32"' in the Makefile.PL.
