Bug #99469 for App-cpanminus-reporter: failed to read the gzip file

Mon Oct 13 18:11:22 2014 steshriv [...] cisco.com - Ticket created

Subject:	failed to read the gzip file
Date:	Mon, 13 Oct 2014 22:11:06 +0000
To:	"bug-App-cpanminus-reporter [...] rt.cpan.org" <bug-App-cpanminus-reporter [...] rt.cpan.org>
From:	"Steven Shriver -X (steshriv - INSIGHT GLOBAL INC at Cisco)" <steshriv [...] cisco.com>

First problem, I want to use my "$HOME/.cpanreporter/metabase_id.json" instead of the .cpantesters one, but this does not work and there is no option for it? So how do I do this? [[ later, just copied my ~/.cpanreporter/* to ~/.cpantesters and moved along.]] Second problem, I am using a local CPAN repo, not a url. Seems like an oversight to not be able to read from the local filesystem.

The newest version of cpanm-reporter should use .cpanreporter instead of .cpantesters out of the box. It should also allow you to set relative/full paths when looking for the metabase_id.json file. Finally, you should also take a look at https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/App-cpanminus-reporter/bin/cpanm-reporter#CONFIGURATION-AND-ENVIRONMENT and https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Testers::Common::Client::Config#CONFIGURATION-AND-ENVIRONMENT as they might help your use case. Please let me know if you bump into any issues with that. Show quoted text

That's actually by design. CPAN Testers' servers rely on the distribution's author handle to provide accurate reports, and currently it's not possible to infer that from the build.log file of local installations - meaning there's no error-free way of detecting that this is the "on cpan" version of a dist instead of a local fork. If this is ever fixed we'll definitely make it possible to send reports for local installations. Until then, it's just too risky. Sorry (patches and ideas on possible error free workarounds are very much welcome, though!) Thanks again, breno
