This is not a bug as I understand it, but simply that cpanm-reporter cannot generate reports for local distributions, because it doesn't know the full author+distribution name to submit the report under. (The fact that the installation failed is not relevant here - you'd get the same message even if everything passed.) The error message could probably make that a bit more clear, though.

I was installing the dependencies of a module. All from CPAN.

Karen is right: cpanm-reporter can only report distributions coming from a remote CPAN mirror. Even when doing a simple "installdeps", the build.log file has messages regarding the local dist that cpanm-reporter simply does not (or rather, did not) know how to handle. Karen is also right in that the error message sucked, so I changed it and now instead of: "Parsing error. Found '/Users/gabor/work/Perl-Maven' without fetching first. at /Users/gabor/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0_WITH_THREADS/bin/cpanm-reporter line 29." you'll get: "Skipping report for local installation of '/Users/gabor/work/Perl-Maven'." I hope this is clearer. THAT SAID, gabor is right to expect "installdeps" to work, so now instead of croaking with that message I'll just show a warning and skip that particular distribution, so any other test results from (remote) dependencies found on the build.log file will still be sent. Now that cpanm-reporter 0.14 is on its way to cpan I'm going to close the ticket. If you see this issue again please don't hesitate to reopen the discussion. Thanks!
