Hi,
In trying to install Devel::Cover from CPAN, I have a failed test: t/at2.t
The problem is that my username 'dct25' contains the string 't2' so
when running the coverage test on the file 't2' the -select directive
(which selects the test name, i.e., 't2') overrides the -ignore
directive (which should ignore any modules installed in my local
$HOME/perl/lib) so it ends up testing a lot more code than it should
Clearly this is a local problem and it is unreasonable to avoid all
possible substrings of usernames. Clearly also I can hack around this
local issue by renaming the test, say, 't3'. I have done this and it
passes. Perhaps the -select directive for running the test could be
made more specific?
Attached is:
Devel-Cover--username-clash.patch: A one-line fix that works for me.
Devel-Cover--cpan-install-log.txt: the output from cpan -i Devel::Cover
Devel-Cover--prove-at2.{txt,err.bz2}: the results on STDOUT and STDERR
of running
DEVEL_COVER_DEBUG=1 prove -v t/at2.t
Cheers,
Dave
