| Subject: | No tests run, making validity of distribution unassessible |
The Thrift distribution does not do anything meaningful when 'make test' is called. This means that the PASS grade which this distribution gets from CPANtesters (http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Thrift+0.11.0-2) is not meaningful.
Suppose I download the tarball, unpack it and proceed as I normally would:

So far, so good. But now I attempt to run tests.
#####
[Thrift-0.11.0] 537 $ make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/home/jkeenan/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.26.0/bin/perl" "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl
Files=0, Tests=0, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.00 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.00 CPU)
Result: NOTESTS

Suppose I try to use 'prove':
#####

The tests expect to load ThriftTest::Types, BenchmarkService and ThriftTest::ThriftTest, but these are not found in the tarball nor, as far as I can tell, on CPAN.

If no tests are run, then we cannot evaluate the soundness of this CPAN distribution.
Thank you very much.
