Bug #17649 for SVN-Notify-Mirror: SVN::Notify::Mirror - failure of all tests

I have to ask the usual things: perl -V svn --version O/S

I apologize for leaving them out. It's a Debian system, only the kernel is self-compiled, everything else is compiled by Debian folks. Heavy mixage of stable, testing and unstable. ~/.cpan/build/SVN-Notify-Mirror-0.03% perl -V [CPANSHELL] Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 7) configuration: Platform: osname=linux, osvers=2.6.14.3, archname=i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi uname='linux ninsei 2.6.14.3 #1 smp preempt mon nov 28 19:51:50 pst 2005 i686 gnulinux ' config_args='-Dusethreads -Duselargefiles -Dccflags=-DDEBIAN -Dcccdlflags=-fPIC -Darchname=i486-linux-gnu -Dprefix=/usr -Dprivlib=/usr/share/perl/5.8 -Darchlib=/usr/lib/perl/5.8 -Dvendorprefix=/usr -Dvendorlib=/usr/share/perl5 -Dvendorarch=/usr/lib/perl5 -Dsiteprefix=/usr/local -Dsitelib=/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 -Dsitearch=/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 -Dsiteman1dir=/usr/local/man/man1 -Dsiteman3dir=/usr/local/man/man3 -Dman1ext=1 -Dman3ext=3perl -Dpager=/usr/bin/sensible-pager -Uafs -Ud_csh -Uusesfio -Uusenm -Duseshrplib -Dlibperl=libperl.so.5.8.7 -Dd_dosuid -des' hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define usemultiplicity=define useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=undef usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef Compiler: cc='cc', ccflags ='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', optimize='-O2', cppflags='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include' ccversion='', gccversion='4.0.3 20051201 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-5)', gccosandvers='' intsize=4, longsize=4, ptrsize=4, doublesize=8, byteorder=1234 d_longlong=define, longlongsize=8, d_longdbl=define, longdblsize=12 ivtype='long', ivsize=4, nvtype='double', nvsize=8, Off_t='off_t', lseeksize=8 alignbytes=4, prototype=define Linker and Libraries: ld='cc', ldflags =' -L/usr/local/lib' libpth=/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib libs=-lgdbm -lgdbm_compat -ldb -ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt perllibs=-ldl -lm -lpthread -lc -lcrypt libc=/lib/libc-2.3.5.so, so=so, useshrplib=true, libperl=libperl.so.5.8.7 gnulibc_version='2.3.5' Dynamic Linking: dlsrc=dl_dlopen.xs, dlext=so, d_dlsymun=undef, ccdlflags='-Wl,-E' cccdlflags='-fPIC', lddlflags='-shared -L/usr/local/lib' Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT Locally applied patches: SPRINTF0 - fixes for sprintf formatting issues - CVE-2005-3962 Built under linux Compiled at Dec 15 2005 17:19:17 @INC: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 . ~/.cpan/build/SVN-Notify-Mirror-0.03% svn --version [CPANSHELL] svn, version 1.2.3 (r15833) compiled Dec 4 2005, 03:38:36 Copyright (C) 2000-2005 CollabNet.

I suppose it could be something with Subversion 1.2.3, but I doubt it. It looks like it is failing while trying to set up the test environment (which is why it freaks at the start of each test file). Is this machine available for me to connect to (I can send you my public key)? Or do you want to be my eyes and hands? The first things to check is to confirm that the test repository itself is set up - it should be in t/test-repos and you should be able to list the top level folders: $ svn ls file:///$PWD/t/test-repos project1/ project2/ Next, check to see if the initial checkouts worked. There should be three sets of two directory in the t/ directory: wc-branch wc-branch-r wc-tag wc-tag-r wc-trunk wc-trunk-r (the dirname-r variants are for testing the rsync code). Then you may want to apply the following patch: === t/coretests.pm ================================================================== --- t/coretests.pm (revision 487) +++ t/coretests.pm (local) @@ -85,7 +85,7 @@ my $cmd = "svn $command -q -r$rev ". "file://$repos_path/$path $PWD/t/$wc"; - system($cmd) == 0 or die "system failed: $?"; + system($cmd) == 0 or die "system failed: $?\ncmd:$cmd"; } } so you can see which command is failing (alternatively, step through the tests in a debugger).

The "-r" variants are not there. Who is supposed to generate them?

OK, I have a box where this fails on, you can stand down. I'll let you know as soon as I have something working... John -- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747
