I just received an email from a module author because one of my smokers failed his module - tests failed to run because of a missing dependency that wasn't declared.
He sent me the following in the email asking if he should ignore it or not: "I looked into http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/CPANAuthorNotes, and it says: "*Why am I getting a FAIL/UNKNOWN/NA report when prerequisites are not met?* > " > Some early versions of CPAN Testers tools had bugs that did not properly > catch when prerequisites were specified but not met. Please just ignore > these reports." So my question is if this text still applies - are there still versions of these tools in use that do this? I'm thinking not, but I'll defer to others who know better than I do. I'm glad to put some different wording here, but I thought I should check with others before I did.
