Bug #59801 for Gedcom: Gedcom 1.16 throws test errors when installing

Subject:

Gedcom 1.16 throws test errors when installing

Dear Paul: The Gedcom from CPan failed to load because of test failures. I am migrating some of my development to a new machine and was spending a lot of time in CPAN building up the reef of perl modules. (I call it a reef because it builds incrementally over time and never shrinks; things go a reef, but they never off.) I got a rude surprise when Gedcom would not load with the usual cpan command of: Show quoted text

cpan>install Gedcom

It failed to load because of test failures. I forced Gedcom.PM on to my reef with: Show quoted text

cpan> make Gedcom cpan> install Gedcom

Attached are the date errors thrown by the auto testing during my installation. Also attached is the machine environment information and the perl reef information. -- In Liberty, John Washburn P.S. I have since installed Roman.PM and the test errors are the same.

Thanks very much for your comprehensive report. Unfortunately, I am pretty sure this is a bug in Date::Manip. See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=57832 I suspect your current options are: - remove Date::Manip, if you don't need it - install an older, working version of Date::Manip - badger the author for a fix - fix it yourself - force install Gedcom.pm but don't use the broken date functionality If a fix is not forthcoming soon I will try to provide some sort of workaround in Gedcom.pm. Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Johnson: Thanks for the compliment of the defect report. I test software for a living here in Milwaukee, WI clearly it transfer to my personal programming. I agree. I suspect the answer is Date::Manip. But, that installed an passed all of its self-tests. *SELF* being the operative word. I would like to then submit a defect report to Date::Manip. I was looking through the code in Basic.pm (the eval on line 32 thows the false), but I did not understand how the values for the Ok() were provided. I expect somewhere there are three variable: 1) the string of date text to be Date::Manip 'ed 2) the result from Date::Manip, and 3) The expected result for the test. I will dig deeper, but if you are inclined to help me with the date strings that go awry in the Gedcom test, I would appreciate it. Either with or without your help I will pass the interesting dates from the Gedcom test on to Date::Manip. There is a chance this adverse interaction between Date::Manip and Gedcom is my fault. See the attach emails. BTW, I forgot to thank you for Gedcom. It is one of the best pieces of code I have run across. It handles a complex problem (parse GEDCOM files) in a surprisingly intuitive way while hiding that complexity if I as a developer want to ignore it. (I call this ignorable complexity) Also it is clearly level 5 code. The quality of programmer's code is directly related to how they define their job. 1) I write code. 2) I write code that compiles. 3) I write code that compiles and works. 4) I write code that compiles, works, and works well. 5) I write code that compiles, works, and works well for a long time. Admit it we have all work with the level 1 guy whose check-in last yesterday broke the nightly compile, but swears: "It works on my machine." You clearly write code that works well for a long time. Thanks again for the Gedcom package. If you decide to help with the dates that fail the Gedcom tests, then I thank you in advance for that. Show quoted text

I appreciate your prompt response on this. As I stating in the original report, I am not even sure I consider this a defect. It is more in the way of an enhancement request. Other partial dates resolve to the interpolation I described; e.g. 1625-04 --> 1625040100:00:00, and 1625 --> 1625010100:00:00. I am not providing a fully specified date, so the fact that code happenstancially interpolates in most cases is not a design defect. BTW, I don't mind the current interpolation, but most Genealogists would hate it. It is better to have no information, than wrong information. Thus, the New England Genealogical Society would prefer April 1625 parse as 1625040000:00:00 than as 1625040100:00:00. Better no date information (00) than incorrect date information (01). But this is not a proper date (but then neither is April 1625 so there). As you stated partial dates are an interesting problem, but not necessarily your problem. :-) Thank you again for your response and your consideration of this enhancement request. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com What can On Demand Business Solutions do for you? http://link.mail2web.com/Business/SharePoint No virus found in this incoming message.

<URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=53099 > Although I definitely sympathize with you, Date::Manip works with full dates. I'll have to think about adding support for partial dates... the functionality would not be too hard to add, but this is definitely a lower priority for me. Also, I'll have to decide how to work with conflicts between the formats currently supported and potential partial dates. For example, the example you give (April 1625) is definitely defined to be April 16, 25 as you note. I want to keep that if it's being parsed as a complete date, but if it's a partial date, it makes more send to be April 1, 1625. Probably, I'd want to add a parse_partial method or something like that. Anyway, I'll consider this for future addition. No virus found in this incoming message.

To do so, you may reply to this message. Thank you, bug-Date-Manip@rt.cpan.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Beck: First I want to say I love Date::Manip. I found what may or may not be a problem. I have been using PERL to process some genealogical data. This means some dates are partial. The generic behavior of Date::Manip is to interpolate to the first of the month, interpolate to the first month of the year, and to interpolate to midnight. When I use a partial date of month and year such as, April 1625, Date::Manip parses this string as if the string were April 16, 25. I expected to get a parsed date of 1625040100:00:00 instead of 1925041600:00:00. I was surprised by this parsing, but I am not sure I can consider it a defect. I violated one of the design specs of Date::Manip by not providing a string which resolves to a particular date. distribution / perl / os informaiton Date::Manip: Date-Manip-6.05-EDfANj Perl: This is perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for i686-linux OS: Linux Washburn-Ubuntu 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux this code #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Date::Manip; my @PartialDates = ( "apr. 17, 1625" ,"apr 17 1625" ,"April 17, 1625" ,"April 17, 25" ,"April 1625" ,"Apr 1625" ,"Apr. 1625" ,"1625" ,"25" ,"4/2015" #Like a credit card expiration ); foreach my $DateString (@PartialDates) { my $ParsedDate = ParseDate($DateString); print "Partial date, $DateString, creates a parsed date of $ParsedDate.\n" } produces this output Partial date, apr. 17, 1625, creates a parsed date of .
