Hi there, I migrating my distro to Dist::Zilla and spot a problem when trying to to run "dzil test" with it: my tests fails due dependency failure in installing Test::TempDir::Tiny. That happened in a Windows 7 with Strawberry Perl installed: his is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
The problem is that this distro is not stated as missing. I tried with "dzil build", checked the Makefile.PL and Test::TempDir::Tiny is inside the TEST_REQUIRES: "TEST_REQUIRES" => { "Class::Data::Inheritable" => "0.08", "Config::IniFiles" => "2.83", "Cwd" => 0, "Devel::Gladiator" => "0.07", "Proc::Background" => "1.10", "Proc::Daemon" => "0.18", "Test::Class" => "0.36", "Test::Moose" => "2.0801", "Test::More" => 0, "Test::Most" => "0.25", "Test::Pod" => "1.22", "Test::Pod::Coverage" => "1.08", "Test::TempDir::Tiny" => "0.004" }, C:\temp\siebel-monitoring-tools\Siebel-Srvrmgr\Siebel-Srvrmgr-0.21>prove -l t\ActionCheckComps.t ............

Terminating on signal SIGINT(2) Terminate batch job (Y/N)? y If I move Test::TempDir::Tiny (directly in the Makefile.PL) to BUILD_REQUIRES, I do get a warning for the missing dependency (which is the expected thing). But I think that defeats the purpose of TEST_REQUIRES. The current version of Extutils::MakeMaker is above the minimum required to understand TEST_REQUIRES: C:\temp\siebel-monitoring-tools\Siebel-Srvrmgr\Siebel-Srvrmgr-0.21>mversion ExtUtils::MakeMaker 7.10 And finally, Test::TempDir::Tiny is referenced in the Makefile itself: # MakeMaker Parameters: # ABSTRACT => q[utilities to be used with the Siebel srvrmgr program] # AUTHOR => [q[Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior <arfrei...@cpan.org>]] # BUILD_REQUIRES => { } # CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => { ExtUtils::MakeMaker=>q[0] } # DISTNAME => q[Siebel-Srvrmgr] # EXE_FILES => [q[bin/srvrmgr-mock.pl]] # LICENSE => q[gpl] # MIN_PERL_VERSION => q[5.008009] # NAME => q[Siebel::Srvrmgr] # PREREQ_PM => { Carp=>q[0], Class::Data::Inheritable=>q[0.08], Config::IniFiles=>q[2.83], Cwd=>q[0], Data::Dumper=>q[0], DateTime=>q[1.12], Devel::Gladiator=>q[0.07], Encode=>q[0], Exporter=>q[0], FSA::Rules=>q[0.34], Fcntl=>q[0], File::BOM=>q[0.14], File::Copy=>q[0], File::Spec=>q[0], File::Temp=>q[0.2304], Getopt::Std=>q[0], Hash::Util=>q[0], IO::Select=>q[0], IO::Socket=>q[0], IPC::Open3=>q[0], List::Util=>q[1.42], Log::Log4perl=>q[1.41], Moose=>q[2.0401], Moose::Role=>q[2.1604], Moose::Util=>q[2.1604], Moose::Util::TypeConstraints=>q[2.0402], MooseX::AbstractFactory=>q[0.004000], MooseX::FollowPBP=>q[0.05], MooseX::Singleton=>q[0], MooseX::Storage=>q[0.33], POSIX=>q[0], Proc::Background=>q[1.10], Proc::Daemon=>q[0.18], Scalar::Util=>q[0], Scalar::Util::Numeric=>q[0.40], Set::Tiny=>q[0.02], Storable=>q[2.51], String::BOM=>q[0.3], Symbol=>q[0], Test::Class=>q[0.36], Test::Moose=>q[2.0801], Test::More=>q[0], Test::Most=>q[0.25], Test::Pod=>q[1.22], Test::Pod::Coverage=>q[1.08], Test::TempDir::Tiny=>q[0.004], YAML::Syck=>q[1.29], namespace::autoclean=>q[0.13] } # TEST_REQUIRES => { Class::Data::Inheritable=>q[0.08], Config::IniFiles=>q[2.83], Cwd=>q[0], Devel::Gladiator=>q[0.07], Proc::Background=>q[1.10], Proc::Daemon=>q[0.18], Test::Class=>q[0.36], Test::Moose=>q[2.0801], Test::More=>q[0], Test::Most=>q[0.25], Test::Pod=>q[1.22], Test::Pod::Coverage=>q[1.08], Test::TempDir::Tiny=>q[0.004] } # VERSION => q[0.21] # test => { TESTS=>q[t/*.t] } Maybe I just caught a bug in ExtUtils::MakeMaker? Or I'm missing something? I'm still to try the same test in other OS without those dependencies installed. Thanks, Alceu
