Thank you, bug-WWW-Mechanize-Chrome@rt.cpan.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- When I try to install, the test keeps failing. This error message shows everywhere, although t/49-launch.t seems to be the only failure: Failed on Chrome version 'Chromium/79.0.3945.130': Can't locate object method "type" via package "Chrome::DevToolsProtocol::Transport::NetAsync" at /root/.cpan/build/WWW-Mechanize-Chrome-0.44-by94RE/blib/lib/WWW/Mechanize/Chrome.pm line 826. The issue seems to be a non-existent "type" method is being called. If I replace this: return $t->new->type || 'websocket'; with this: my $new = $t->new; if($new->can('type')) { return $new->type || 'websocket'; } return 'websocket'; then the problem seems to go away Linux usaltapdps01 4.12.14-95.45-default #1 SMP Wed Dec 11 13:09:13 UTC 2019 (12c8180) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Perl 5.18.2
