I am not sure whether this problem is caused by CPAN::Reporter or CPAN.
I tried to install the module Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer. The output around the
test process looked like this:
CPAN: CPAN::Reporter loaded ok
No tests defined for Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer extension.
Preparing a test report for Gtk2-Ex-PodViewer-0.17
Do you want to CC the the module author? (yes/no) [no]
Do you want to edit the test report? (yes/no) [no]
Do you want to send the test report? (yes/no) [yes] no
Test report not sent
/usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
First thing: shouldn't CPAN::Reporter or CPAN recognize that there
are no tests and refuse to send a test report?
Second: I said "no" to the question whether to send the report.
Maybe this is the reason why the "make test" part is considered a
failure. If I turn CPAN::Reporter off (using o conf test_report 0)
then make test and install works OK.
