Bug #48722 for Test-Simple: Document Test::Harness requirement for no

Fri Aug 14 12:30:11 2009 dolmen [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

The "CAVEAT and NOTES" section says: Test::Harness upgrade no_plan, todo and done_testing() depend on new Test::Harness features and fixes. If you're going to distribute tests that use no_plan or todo your end-users will have to upgrade Test::Harness to the latest one on CPAN. If you avoid no_plan and TODO tests, the stock Test::Harness will work fine. It would be helpful if it said also which version is required, so the module author could set dependencies in its Makefile.PL/Build.PL/META.yml.

Thanks for noticing it. This caveat isn't necessary any more as we already require the necessary version of Test::Harness. I'll just delete it. Done in e0752a7. Keep em coming! -- Whip me, beat me, make my code compatible with VMS!

It looks like you did not understood my question. I wonder which version of Test::More I must require as a build dependency in my Build.PL if I use 'no_plan'. This information is probably in the Changes file, but it would be more convenient to have it in the POD.

Its been in there since 0.07 and I'm not that obsessive about compatibility. There's probably other more recent things that could be documented. done_testing() for example. Its not my itch, you're welcome to take on that job. -- Stabbing you in the face for your own good.
