Bug #7383 for Win32-IE-Mechanize: Will this work on Win2000 under Cygwin?

Subject:

Will this work on Win2000 under Cygwin?

I like the Unix environment of Cygwin, an emulator under Win2000. This module skips all tests, and then installs, I believe because the OS is reported as Cygwin, not Win32. (This is not Activestate perl.) The module might work (you think?), but the tests were really not run. Any thoughts?

It is a matter of opinion if the tests should be skipped or fail. Show quoted text

Some superficial testing shows that it could work, but the testsuite was not designed to cope with the conversion of cygwin paths to native Windows paths (which is what IE needs, even under cygwin). I'll see what I can do to improve on this. Show quoted text

ActivePerl will also run from a cygwin shell: ~$ uname CYGWIN_NT-5.0 abeltje@neewa (Tue Aug 17 21:57:17) ~$ /cygdrive/c/perl/bin/perl -v This is perl, v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 8 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2003, Larry Wall Binary build 809 provided by ActiveState Corp. http://www.ActiveState.com ActiveState is a division of Sophos.

On my todo list now to special-case cygwin, I have a concept patch that makes the test-suite pass. Good luck, Abe - -- Show quoted text

Thanks for this suggestion. Finally had the time to work this out, and the testsuite fully passes on cygwin-1.5.10/W2k Abe.
