Bug #4218 for Class-PObject: test errors C:PO 2.07 w/ perl-5.8.1

Mon Oct 27 11:11:00 2003 Marek.Rouchal [...] gmx.net - Ticket created

Subject:	test errors C:PO 2.07 w/ perl-5.8.1
CC:	mschwern [...] cpan.org

I have perl-5.8.1 (ithreads, shared libperl) compiled on Solaris 7 (sparc) with gcc-3.1.1, and the current latest&greatest CPAN modules (i.e., at least the prerequisites for this module). Running the test (verbose), I get the attached logfile, i.e. a big number of errors. Please let me know if you need any further details to solve the problems. This error message however may point to a problem in Test::Builder, this is why I put MSCHWERN on CC. Best regards, Marek

At this moment I am not sure what the problem might be. I can see the cpan-testers tested the library on sparc ( http://testers.cpan.org/show/Class-PObject.html ), but looks like your configuration is different than the one it was tested on. I will ask cpan-testers whoever has access to a similar system help me debug it. If you can poke around the tests yourself trying to track the problem down, I would appreciate that.

I have found several threads on google that talk about similar issue. Looks like an ithreads bug in Perl 5.8 and/or Test::Builder. Check them out: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF- 8&safe=off&q=%22Invalid+value+for+shared+scalar%22+schwern

8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&q=%22Invalid+value+for+shared+scalar%22+schwern Yes, now I remember that I saw Test::Builder trouble with ithreading perl (5.8.0) before - 5.8.1 seems to add some more problems to it. However: If you look at the full test log, then you'll see t/01basic_file.t break at this one: not ok 71 # Failed test (/home/hwadm/.cpan/build/Class-PObject- 2.07/blib/lib/Class/PObject/Test/Basic.pm at line 230) [1] - Sherzod Ruzmetov <sherzodr@cpan.org> [2] - Hilola Nasyrova <some@email.com> [3] - Geek <sherzodr@cpan.org> [4] - Sherzod Ruzmetov <sherzodr@cpan.org> [5] - Hilola Nasyrova <some@email.com> [6] - Geek <sherzodr@cpan.org> As far as I can tell, there should be only three items in the list, right? So there is another problem on top of the Test::Builder issue... -Marek

Ooops, sorry - this is not a problem; doing rm -rf data before re-running the test solves this issue. I am currently looking into Test::Builder and threads::shared... -Marek

I have created a case for Test:Builder, that solves the Test::Builder problem: [cpan #4232] AutoReply: Test::Builder and ithreads I have applied this to my local Test::Builder. However, now the t/01basic.t does run ok, and I see more problems in other tests, see the attached log. Cheers, Marek

ok, all the problems are related to Test::Builder and ithreads - but: In your test scripts you are using ok($test, $name); where $name is an object - this is not quite what Test::Builder expects to see. In #4232 I have proposed a patch for explicit stringification of $name, which would solve the issue on a global scale. You may however rethink if you don't want to use ok($test, "$name") i.e. pass a real string to the ok() sub in all the places. Cheers, Marek
