Greetings,
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post such question so I
apologize for any inconvenience in advance.
I created a Windows XP SP3 VM in Virtual Box to execute smoke tests
using CPAN-Tester-Smoker. The box is running Strawberry Perl 5.14.2 with
multithread support.
Every time that I start the program, it became "hanging" while executing
the following test:
Running make test
Delayed until after prerequisites
Running test for module 'IPC::Pipeline'
Running make for C/CP/CPANEL/IPC-Pipeline-0.6.tar.gz
Checksum for
C:\strawberry\cpan\sources\authors\id\C\CP\CPANEL\IPC-Pipeline-0.6.
tar.gz ok
CPAN.pm: Building C/CP/CPANEL/IPC-Pipeline-0.6.tar.gz
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for IPC::Pipeline
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
(C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe Makefile.PL exited with 0)
CPAN::Reporter: Makefile.PL result is 'pass', No errors.
cp lib/IPC/Pipeline.pm blib\lib\IPC\Pipeline.pm
(C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE exited with 0)
CPAN::Reporter: dmake result is 'pass', No errors.
CPANEL/IPC-Pipeline-0.6.tar.gz
C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- OK
Running make test
C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0,
'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t
This happening during the phase to test the Archive-Tar-Builder-0.5
distribution.
Do you any idea of what could be happening? I need use CRTL+C to stop
the process. I double checked the Task Manager and it shows four perl
process, none of them taking any processor time, like if they are
blocked waiting for I/O or something else.
That happens after successfully testing a good amount of distributions,
and always stops there.
The only gotcha I had while installing Perl and configuring CPAN is that
while installing CPAN-Reporter I could not submit a verification key
(typed ENTER after entering the key, without any result). After some
retries and reseting the configuration it just worked, without any
reason to explain.
Might be something related to the Windows XP console? Or is it a issue
with the distribution? How to deal with those cases (release the Smoker
to continue testing other distributions)?
Thank you,
Alceu
