I was thinking about this for a couple of days. But I am afraid
that I don't have a solution. As far as I know, the smoker has no
control over the dependency. The dependency is followed by the code in
CPAN or CPANPLUS, but not the smoke environment. The report is
truncated by the CPAN::Reporter.
If I could, I wish I can:
1. Use the module ID. (for ex., "Error-0.17015") to compose the
Message-ID of the report. The Message-ID is logged in the mail syslog
by most MTA. It would become easier to track what was tested at what
time from the smokers' side.
2. Remember the name of the root testing module when following the
dependency, and state it in the reports. This helps to replay the smoke
test with complex dependency.
But as a smoker I cannot fix either of the above unless the CPAN or
CPAN::Reporter module is revised. Is there any suggestion?
