Subject: Test::Valgrind tests fail when not running as root
Valgrind tests should detect if running as root so as to not fail certain tests. For example: Failed 1/5 subtests Test Summary Report ------------------- t/20-good.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 5 Failed: 2) Failed tests: 2, 5 Non-zero exit status: 2 t/30-bad.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 5 Failed: 1) Failed test: 5 Non-zero exit status: 1 These tests passed when run as root.
Hello, Thanks for showing interest in Test::Valgrind. I'm never running tests as root, and they pass on my machine, so the choice of the user is most likely not the cause of your problem. This said, the testsuite is very sensitive to the environment, so I'm not surprised that test failures may happen. Could you give me more feedback on which perl you're using (like the output of perl -V) ? Vincent.
