| Subject: | PERL5OPT=...-MDevel::Autoflush causes false FAILs |
It seems that the new PERL5OPT trick for using Devel::Autoflush in
CPAN::Reporter sometimes causes an *old* version of a module to be used
while testing. I just observed a failure when testing Module::CoreList
--- the already installed one on my machine is 2.08, and the newest is
2.15, introducing a new method. If I call "test Module::CoreList" from
the CPAN shell, then there's an error:
...
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/corelist........Can't locate object method "first_release_by_date" via
package "Module::CoreList" at t/corelist.t line 23.
# Looks like you planned 13 tests but only ran 7.
# Looks like your test died just after 7.
dubious
Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
DIED. FAILED tests 8-13
Failed 6/13 tests, 53.85% okay
...
If I run the test from the same directory by hand, everything works OK.
I can reproduce the error if I try to emulate the PERL5OPT trick in the
shell:
$ env PERL5OPT="-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
-MDevel::Autoflush" make test
