Subject: JSON implementation fails
just upgraded to 0.75 as doing some testing using perl 5.12.3 Linux nx9005 2.6.35-28-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 18 19:00:26 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux Release 0.75 - 17th April 2011 - Write database as JSON if JSON::PP is available. JSON::PP (2.27105) installed called with # devel cover perl -MDevel::Cover script/video.pl cover malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "pst0\x{5}\x{8}\x{3}\x{0}...") at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/i686- linux-thread-multi/Devel/Cover/DB/IO.pm line 59 END failed--call queue aborted. Reading database from /home/kevin/workspace/Video/cover_db malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "pst0\x{5}\x{8}\x{3}\x{0}...") at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/i686- linux-thread-multi/Devel/Cover/DB/IO.pm line 59 rolled back to 0.74 which work's for me. hope this helps ;)

Hello Kevin, Thanks very much for this report. I wonder whether you had an already existing cover_db directory from pre-0.75 when you got this problem with 0.75. If that is possible, then a simple solution is to just delete this directory (or run cover -delete). Are you able to test that and let me know if it is the case? If that is the problem, then I think that just bumping the database version should solve it, so I'll do that for the next release. Thanks again, -- Paul Johnson - paul@pjcj.net http://www.pjcj.net
