There is no data returned.
Is the API *suppose* to return a value? And if false should the
error number and error message be available with aspell_speller_error_number
and aspell_speller_error_message? That's what I'm not clear on.

Again, I'd like to first make sure that I'm using clear_session
correctly and I understand the Aspell usage correctly.
Perl modules are built like this:
$ perl Makefile.PL (creates a Makefile)
$ make
$ make test ( runs test scripts in the "t" directory)
The tests are run via a standard perl module that looks simply for
"ok" and "not ok" output from the script for each of its tests.
To get verbose output from running "make test" you do:
$ make test TEST_VERBOSE=1
and you see output from each test.
I'll attach the Perl module for you to try. I may or may not fail
tests on your machine.
The tests in question do this:
ok( $speller->add_to_session('testt'), "add 'testtt' to the aspell
session") or
diag( 'Error: ' . $speller->errstr );
@s_words = $speller->suggest('testt');
ok( grep(/testt/, @s_words), "'testtt' added to session now is returned in
suggest" );
then later the session is cleared and I check that "testt' is no
longer in the words suggested:
ok_to_fail( $speller->clear_session, 'Clear the aspell session' ) or
diag("clear_session may fail like store_replacement. See README" );
@s_words = $speller->suggest('testt');
ok( !grep(/testt/, @s_words), "'testt' should not be a suggestion after
clearing the session'")
or diag( "suggested words were [EMAIL PROTECTED]" );
Notice that it's negating the grep (so it's making sure "testt" isn't
in @s_words).
Again, I want to be clear about the API -- I want to make sure I'm
testing return values for every function that returns a value
indicating an error.
What seems to be happening is that I may be testing return values
when I should not be testing them, or maybe Aspell is not returning
them correctly when it should -- as you saw from the
store_replacement() problem above. The problem is not consistent
(fails for some users, others it doesn't).
Thanks,
PS -- one other question: I require the en_US dictionary installed
for testing. Of course, not everyone has that dictionary, but I'm
not sure how I can test Aspell without knowing a specific dictionary
is installed -- I want to make sure I can lookup mispelled words, so
seems like I need a specific dictionary to do that. If you or anyone
has a better idea I'd like to hear. Also, I'm not 100% clear how to
verify that the dictionary I need is installed -- but I haven't
looked at that yet.
