Bug #124975 for Tk-TextVi: Tests fail (with newer Tk versions?)

Subject:

Tests fail (with newer Tk versions?)

See http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Tk-TextVi%200.015 for an overview of pass/fail reports. It seems that the test failures happen with newer Tk versions, and are probably caused by this change: Tk-804.030_500 release (2013-05-18) ---------------------- Incompatible changes The Tk::Text::Contents() method does not return an extra newline anymore (RT #83124). The version number of Tk::Text was incremented to 4.029 and may be used to detect the change. A possible workaround could be to add a new helper function which calls Tk::Text::Contents and adds the missing newline if Tk::Text::VERSION >= 4.029.

Occasionally there are some pass reports, even with newer Tk, but this happens only if there was no DISPLAY available during the run of the test suite.
