Bug #34042 for Catalyst-View-JSON: Couldn't find a JSON Package.

Thu Mar 13 02:41:28 2008 ANDK [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Couldn't find a JSON Package.

My smoke box reported this test failure: Couldn't find a JSON Package. In http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/03/msg1155037.html As so often this failure cannot be reproduced later because the smoker has installed something else in the meantime. Seems to be a different logic in the test script and in the dependency declaration. Or something There are three other testers reports with the same error message. Thanks,

This is actually a problem with JSON::Any, isn't it? On 3/12/08, Andreas Koenig via RT <bug-Catalyst-View-JSON@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

If it is you would know better than me. Could you then reassign the ticket to the JSON::Any queue with enough information attached so that the maintainers there understand what needs fixing? Otherwise let me know what I could do to clear things up. Thanks,

For what it's worth I ran into this issue on my in-house smoke test box and after struggling with it for days noticed a stray symlink to View/JSON.pm in the top level of the application directory. After removing the symlink make test was able to complete without failures. While troubleshooting, I also discovered that prove -l t/ was not subject to the unexpected failures. I'm not sure what that means. On Thu Mar 13 01:41:28 2008, ANDK wrote: Show quoted text

Here is the issue. Just looked into it, and figured it out quickly. I use Syck -- it's the only full featured JSON exporter. I have no intention of leaving Syck. The program generates the error message: "Couldn't find a JSON package. Need XS, JSON, or DWIW" Yet in my YAML conf file I have View::JSON: expose_stash: 'json' json_driver: 'Syck' I suggest we make the error message more verbose and say *what* driver failed to load, patch up now with pull request. https://github.com/EvanCarroll/catalyst-view-json -- Evan Carroll System Lord of the Internets http://www.evancarroll.com

Just ran into this. New perl 5.16.3 install along with Catalyst and other dependencies for the Catalyst app in question. Everything installed but Catalyst::View::JSON. These are the JSON modules that were installed: JSON::Any JSON::MaybeXS JSON::PP Cpanel::JSON::XS I tried installing JSON::XS and this did not help the test pass. Installing JSON however allowed the test to pass. Not sure why ones of the other JSON modules did not get picked up and used.

I'm pretty sure this is a a problem with JSON::Any which in my mind is being far too clever for its own good. What version of JSON::Any do you have? Can you try also JSON_ANY_ORDER=JSON cpanm Catalyst::View::JSON and let me know if that helps? john On Wednesday, November 27, 2013 1:46 PM, "dsteinbrunner@pobox.com via RT" <bug-Catalyst-View-JSON@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Queue: Catalyst-View-JSON Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34042 > On Thu Mar 13 02:41:28 2008, ANDK wrote: Show quoted text

Unfortunately @order contains 'JSON' so the JSON_ANY_ORDER= has no effect on proceedings. . = JSON::Any::import('JSON::Any', 'JSON') called from file `lib/Catalyst/View/JSON.pm' line 42 That appears to be the line calling JSON::Any->import($driver); That's defaulted to JSON which I don't install these days, instead preferring the new Cpanel module. It looks like that JSON default was added in 0.18 in 2007 for backwards compatibility. I've created a pull request to fix the test as it already appeared to try to avoid the dependency on JSON. https://github.com/shadowcat-mst/catalyst-view-json/pull/2 I also created one for preventing the attempt to load JSON in the module as that seems to be the core of the problem. https://github.com/colinnewell/catalyst-view-json/commit/9d0240c8283db6616eff5956ea48251a69ea04d6

I'm pretty sure the move to MaybJSON::XS solves this as I don't see errors reported in any recent version on CPAN testers.
