Bug #44185 for XML-Easy: Test t/read

Subject:

Test t/read_pp hangs

Hi Test t/read_pp hangs at 76/1089. This is on a Sun-Fire-V240. The compiler is gcc 3.4.6. Perl is 5.8.7. Params::Classify is installed. Internals is not installed. Cheers

Some of the tests at about that point in the test suite involve lengthy inputs that take a long time to parse (especially in the pure Perl parser, which is what read_pp.t tests). You're probably just not giving it long enough to complete. On my home machine where I developed the code, the complete test suite takes about 35 minutes. Try testing with the "--verbose" flag, as in ./Build --verbose --test_files=t/read_pp.t This will output a line for each completed test, which will give you more feedback about the progress of the test suite. You can also compare against t/read.t (testing the much faster XS parser) to give you some idea of the expected relative parsing times. If you find a single test that doesn't complete within minutes of the previous test completing then I'd accept that it's hanging.

That's very thorough, but impractical. Most people will assume quite reasonably, as I did, that it's hanging, and just give up. You need to do something like checking an env var to enable such long tests. Then, by default, you skip them. Visa versa, when someone sets that env var, the docs will have warned them what they're in for... Show quoted text

OK. I'm just about to leave for work, so I'll try again. -- Ron Savage ron@savage.net.au http://savage.net.au/index.html

Yes, it worked, eventually :-). It took 1214 secs.

Oops, that was meant to be ./Build test --verbose --test_files=t/read_pp.t -zefram

I'm counting this as resolved since we've established that it does work.
