| Subject: | PathTools 3.28_01 breaks F:F:C 1.09 |
I must make a long story short, ping me if you need further information.
File::Find::Closures does not mention File::Spec as a dependency. Please
add this dependency, it makes tracking of bugs easier.
For some reason the test find_by_stat.t delivers *very* different
results with PathTools 3.28_01 than with 3.2701. What is happening is
that the test does some chdir somewhere and then does a find. With
3.2701 this test succeeds quickly. Wiuth 3.2801 it does the chdir to
"/". And then the nightmare begins. A find on / can produce Gigabytes of
error output on a big disk, especially when the owner of the process has
not many rights.
So I suggest, if you haven't yet figured out what I'm talking about:
add File::Spec as a dependency
introduce a sanity check here and there, if the process is still in the
directory where it was in originally
stop testing with a FAIL when more than, say, 1000 directories are traversed
Does this help you a little? As I said, ping me if I failed to give you
enough hints. (Be aware, I only see the bug, I have no idea what the
cause may be)
Thanks,
