Bug #131155 for XML-LibXSLT: Version checks in t/01basic.t should be removed

Mon Dec 09 08:53:35 2019 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Version checks in t/01basic.t should be removed

Every now and then my smokers report failures like this: ... # Failed test 'LibXML version is the same as its run time version.' # at t/01basic.t line 22. # got: '20909' # expected: '20910' Compiled against: libxslt 10134, libxml2 20909 Running: libxslt 10134, libxml2 20910 Compiled with EXSLT: yes DO NOT REPORT THIS FAILURE: Your setup of library paths is incorrect! # Looks like you failed 1 test of 4. t/01basic.t ............... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/4 subtests ... I think the reasoning in this test is wrong. In this case, only the subminor part differs, which (if the library maintainer and/or packager follows a sane versioning strategy) denotes only bugfixes, but in no way incompatible changes. So there should be no problem running this setup. A better way to detect possible incompatibilities is to increase the coverage of the test suite. This problem does not happen only in XML-LibXSLT, but also in other XML-based distributions (XML-Grammar-Fiction, XML-Grammar-Vered, XML-GrammarBase, XML-Grammar-Fortune).
