I am saying that because I can find examples from a long time ago on much older versions of Test::More: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/0b2e5daa-40a7-11e4-bd2c-9366e0bfc7aa > because look, he also sent an email saying that he can't install > Image::PNG::Libpng: > > http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/b459d8f2-7d8f-11e5-a85b-5dab850e5dbe > > This one is not your issue. Someone appears to have installed a recent dev release of Test-Simple that depends on Test::Stream, but has not installed Test::Stream. I am not sure how this can happen apart from skipping tests, or forcing while refusing to look at deps. > If he can't install Image::PNG::Libpng then he can't run the above > function since it is within a require/skip block: > > SKIP: { > eval { > require Image::PNG::Libpng; > }; > skip "No Image::PNG::Libpng", 2 if $@; > > So that doesn't seem like my module's fault. > > Also this report: > > http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/2c5f9c14-7deb-11e5-a067-3e4f850e5dbe > > seems like just something broke: > > Can't locate Test/Stream/Sync.pm in @INC (you may need to install the > Test::Stre > am::Sync module) (@INC contains: > /tmp/cpan/build/Image-PNG-QRCode-0.05-1EjSkN/bl > ib/lib /tmp/cpan/build/Image-PNG-QRCode-0.05-1EjSkN/blib/arch > /home/arfreitas/pe > rl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.0/lib/site_perl/5.22.0/OpenBSD.i386-openbsd > /home/a > rfreitas/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.0/lib/site_perl/5.22.0 > /home/arfreitas/ > > This is the same problem (and same tester), Test-Simple has been updated to the dev releases, but did not also pull in Test::Stream. This is a problem specific to the person generating these reports. I suspect this is something that can only happen by manually making it happen, against all inclinations of the typical tools. > There are more like that, or like this: > > C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" > "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; > test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t > t/compatibility.t ....... ok > Use of uninitialized value $bestmatch in array element at > C:\strawberry\cpan\build\Text-Fuzzy-0.22-BrRcnx\blib\lib/Text/Fuzzy.pm > line 133. > Use of uninitialized value $got in numeric eq (==) at (eval in cmp_ok) > t/fuzzy-index.t line 22. > > http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/43f7aa84-6bf7-1014-b3a3-39c9755a1ef9 > > This last one is also fairly crazy, and can be ignored. The tester is using a dev release from ages ago before toolchain had any input on the Test::Stream architecture. It was a dev release expected to have bugs that was only put out for people to play with to help find bugs. You can safely ignore this one. > Again, sorry but it doesn't look like my module's error to me. > > Thanks. >
