Bug #33788 for Test-XML: Occasional test failures

Mon Mar 03 15:56:47 2008 ANDK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Occasional test failures

Today my smoke machine produced this fail report: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/03/msg1098979.html Looking through the other results I find that I produced this report already once with 5.10: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2007/11/msg795085.html Needless to say that I cannot reproduce the fail because since the test ran countless other modules have been installed. My suspicion is that there is a hidden dependency on some other XML module that is rarely triggered. Let me know if you'd like more details or want me to try some scenarios. Thanks,

This happens because XML::SAX->parsers returns no parsers. I expect that this test ought to create one so that there is *at least* one.
