| Subject: | Backend make() returns success when a "make test" failed |
I'm automating the fetching and testing of several modules. I have
successfully fetched and extracted the modules, but make() with the
"test" target sometimes fails due to missing dependencies.
That isn't a problem, though. I fully expect the failures because I'm
running as a plain user who can't install modules systemwide.
The problem is that this code returns a status of 1 for the module even
when it couldn't be tested:
my $local_results = $cp->make( target => "test",
dirs => [ $full_dir ],
);
The Makefile is generated, but "make test" is never run. That seems
fine, since the prerequisites aren't available, but
$local_results->{$full_dir} == 1 afterwards, which seems wrong.
