Subject: Random test results PASS 266 : FAIL 14
I can imagine that it is hard to test a module that shall produce random results. I have now seen 14 FAILs over the last half year. The failures were never reproducable but this does not help much in an automated enviroment. Maybe the tests could be rewritten to never fail? Or the test output could be made more friendly to explain the user that FAILs are expected once in 20 runs or so? Or maybe you are not aware of the problem? Maybe it only pops up in certain environments? Then here are some test outputs: http://cpantesters.perl.org/show/Data-Random.html Thanks,
I took over Data::Random recently, and while working on a release, I ran across the same bug(s) described in this ticket. The newest version, 0.06, should have these fixed. Sorry for the major delay in addressing these!
