| Subject: | prove -b -l is dangerous |
Test::Continuous runs prove with both the -b and -l flags. This is
probably to account for not knowing whether the libraries are in blib or
lib.
It *currently* results in prove putting lib before blib/lib in @INC, but
there's no guarantee of that. In the future, prove might reverse this
resulting in T::C running the tests against probably stale code in blib/lib.
Given the way T::C currently works, with no way to run a build step
before running the tests, the code in blib is going to be out of date
except immediately after the user runs a build. So -b can be removed
without noticeably affecting how T::C works and it will make it safe for
future versions of prove.
If the autobuild mechanism suggested in an earlier ticket is implemented
then it should use just -b when its in use.
