The problem is that /tmp is a symlink to /private/tmp: poerbook:~ root# ls -l / | grep tmp lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 11 18 Feb 13:56 tmp -> private/tmp The dir change is successful, but the current directory is not the one expected by the tests. This is probably not specific to Mac OS X, but it just happens here by default. -- Rocco Caputo

hmm... so if you do: # cd /tmp # pwd you don't get /tmp?? on my linux box qx/pwd/ returns whatever qx/chdir/ sets the current directory to. if this doesn't work on OSX, what am I supposed to do?

this popped up in another bug report... I'm not sure what to do about it... it complains about 28 but I'm running POE 0.23 (or greater)! help? the line that causes this problem looks like this: Show quoted text

now I'm even more confused. here's what I'm doing: $TMPDIR = tempdir(CLEANUP => 1); $t3 = POE::Component::Child->new( events => \%t3, debug => $debug, chdir => $TMPDIR, ); ok(defined $t3 && $t3->isa('POE::Component::Child'), "component 3"); $t3->run("pwd"); the idea here is that I want to test whether Child changes directory by running `pwd` - this should be the internal pwd, not the one in /bin and thus $TMPDIR which is /tmp should match the output of `pwd`... this works on linux... wtf??

oh.... I get it. when I do a system("pwd") I'm not getting the shell's command which is what I want. /bin/pwd doesn't have any parameters so I can change it's behaviour so I guess I'll just have to do: $t3->run("sh -c pwd"); instead. which is weird... because now I wonder why this works in linux since the behaviour in Linux seems to be the same. would you test that for me as I don't have an OSX box? the line you need to change is 105 in test.pl - if it works, I'll patch and re-release (will probably fix the other problem with it first though). thx!

all right. in the end I figured I don't want to have to care whether OSX's /tmp is a link so what I did was to patch the test script so it creates the temporary directory it needs off the current working directory instead of the default /tmp. that way the shell pwd and the /bin/pwd return the same thing. the patch is included in the 1.33 release now on CPAN.
