After a small discussion on #perl today I found a small amount of time
to look at 51dbm_file.t test failures. There are a few things I noted:
1. ribasushi suggests the tests fail because it does a rmtree when still
connected so the files are still open and this fails on Windows. I don't
see this problem but I imagine it would be solved by disconnecting,
rmtree then reconnecting.
2. I'm a bit suspicious about the:
$test_dir .= "_" . basename($0, qr/\.[^.]*/);
in lib.t because basename docs say:
"@suffixes work as in fileparse() except all regex metacharacters are
quoted" so those '*' and []^ will be taken literally. It does work if
you just change that to ".t".
3. personally I don't like ok calls without a test name as it makes it
hard to find the tests when looking at the code and comparing it with
the test output.
4. the test that fails for me is test 7 which does a:
select * from
C:\Users\martin\DBI-1.613_93\test_output_5084_51dbm_file_mine\fred
which returns no rows. I'm not sure why as that is the name of the file.
I'd be happy to fix (2) and (3) and I don't think (1) will hurt but as I
cannot reproduce a problem with the rmtree as reported by some. Instead
the error I see is the last select which returns nothing.
