Subject: [PkgVersion] add generation of tests that checks module version
It would be safer if PkgVersion would generate a release test that would check that the version in each module is really the version that was expected, to check that PkgVersion did its job before the release. A suggested implementation would be to compare the versions in Changes/META.{json,yml}/*.pm. I think it is really important to not make this added test as a separate plugin that would have to be explicitely loaded by the user but instead to include it for every PkgVersion usage: every code generator must have its safeguard. My use case for this wish is that I've been able to generate a broken release due to PkgVersion (and maybe multiple calls to it, due to running multiple builds from Dist::Zilla::Shell): https://metacpan.org/source/DOLMEN/Dist-Zilla-Plugin-Version-FromSubversion-1.000002/lib/Dist/Zilla/Plugin/Version/FromSubversion.pm In this package there is 3 PkgVersion-generated blocks, with 2 different versions. As the CPAN toolchain usually uses the first $VERSION line from a package while Perl takes the last line, there is a mismatch between what the tools will use and what Perl will see at runtime. -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN

I'll think about it, at least. In the meantime, it's important to note that a Dist::Zilla::Dist::Builder object is not safe to re-use for more than one run through building.

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::CheckDeps does exactly what you describe.

ether: I don't think that Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Test::CheckDeps does what dolmen described. dolmen: what if, instead, there was an option to make the "package X already has a VERSION" fatal? I think I want to add that, anyway, for my own use. If I understood your report, it would solve this simply. -- rjbs

I have added this in git as 3243646076c67d69e4149c0d14ed86b151557694 -- rjbs
