Hi all!
In response to my bug post at
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=83501, a maintainer referred me
to Apache::Test which I see has moved to this list.
I just went tried to cpan CGI-Application-Dispatch on a newly built CentOS5
box. Cpan diligently runs the following test code:
Apache::TestRequest->import(qw(GET POST));
$response = GET('/app1/module_name/rm1');
ok($response->is_success);
It outputs "Failed test at t/handler.t"
Here's what smells funny. I think that Apache::Test is expecting some kind of
test harness to already be installed in the DocumentRoot, am I correct? If so,
the module would already need to be installed, so the CPAN test would have
needed to be skipped (which sucks). I see two possibilities: (1) Integration
tests run by the author should be separated, or (2) a test harness should be
loaded automatically in an embedded httpd so integration tests run.
Can someone who knows what they're doing chime in?
Dave
PS
Sorry for the long subject, I know it's a mouthful.
