Bug #35605 for Test-Deep: Test::Deep probably does not work with Test::Testers

Subject:

Test::Deep probably does not work with Test::Testers < 0.107

I just sent a FAIL report on a freebsd machine running perl 5.10.0. After upgrading Test::Testers from 0.106 to 0.107 the Test::Deep's test suite worked flawlessly. So I suspect that the prereq version for Test::Testers should be raised. Regards, Slaven

Actually, I think you're probably seeing the problem whereby Test::Tester <= 0.106 needs Test::Builder <= 0.77 There's not much I can about it either, anyone with an old Test::Tester is going to find out the hard way, F 2008/5/2 Slaven_Rezic via RT <bug-Test-Deep@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

Maybe you can add a condition à la (completely untested) my %ADD_PREREQ_PM; if (eval { require Test::Tester; require Test::Builder; 1 } && $Test::Tester::VERSION <= 0.106 && $Test::Builder::VERSION > 0.77) { $ADD_PREREQ_PM{"Test::Tester"} = 0.108; } ... WriteMakefile(..., PM => { ..., %ADD_PREREQ_PM }, ) to your Makefile.PL? Regards, Slaven Show quoted text

This is not related to Test::Deep at all. This will be triggered by anything using Test::Tester. I suppose I could add that to everything I've written that uses Test::Tester but I'm not going to do a release of everything just for that, F 2008/5/5 slaven@rezic.de via RT <bug-Test-Deep@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text

It seems to me that it's good practise that software tries to work around broken software it depends on. Just look at perl itself: the myriads of conditions to fix bad behaving operating systems in the Configure script and perl's source code. But at least this ticket in RT helps users with the same problem a clue about the problem and possible solutions. Regards, Slaven Show quoted text

I released a new Test::Deep today fixing a different bug and I threw in something to twiddle the PREREQs if it detects a bad combination of T::Tester and T::Builder. Thanks.
