Bug #61394 for PDF-Create: t/09-cgi.t fails on Windows

Subject:	t/09-cgi.t fails on Windows

To:	bug-PDF-Create [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Gabor Szabo <szabgab [...] gmail.com>

The problem is that in this line the test tries to run the 09-cgi-script.pl my $cginame = File::Spec->catfile(dirname($0) . "/09-cgi-script.pl"); ok( !system(qq($cginame | $Config{"perlpath"} -n -e "print if \$. > 2" Show quoted text

>$pdfname)), "CGI executes" );

Windows, or at least Strawberry Perl on Windows does not handle this. The solution would be to run it with "perl" in front of the script name but the pipe still won't work. BTW I think the "path to current perl" is usually written as $^X. In any case there is no /usr/bin/pdftotext anyway so maybe this whole test shoudl be skipped on Windows? Gabor

Hi Gabor, I understand your windows perl (strawberry) can not handle the execution of the cgi.script as it is now. I happen to have rewritten this test in the last two releases to accommodate issues on windows and irix. I would like to keep it. Is there a way to determine that you are running strawberry ? I could skip this test for strawberry, then. Do you know what exactly does not work with strawberry ? If a fix does not break the test on other platforms we can fix it.

Or you can call $^X $cginame instead of just $cginame. This works without problems on Windows and should work on any platform. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
