Hi Stas,
This will be a long email (I think you're probably used to looking at long emails already :-). Thanks for your helpful suggestions and wonderful support again.
;)
I have made some progress and here are my findings.
Here's what I did. Based upon your suspicion that the tests were failing because of some preinstalled mod_perl libs (true: the system had mod_perl 1.99_08 installed), I did a local perl install:
1. Installed xstow to make life easier when installing/removing files 2. Installed perl in ~/stow/perl-5.8.0 3. Compiled mod_perl against locally installed perl
Great. So that explains why I had a flash of this problem and then couldn't reproduce it. Once the current problems are resolved it'd be nice to track that problem. I believe that the cause is a wrong @INC. So if you can keep the old setup untouched that would be great.
We are now discussing adding a bootstrap checking on all mod_perl libraries. We have too many problem reports just because old libraries kick in.
Experience with 1.99_09:
========================
In the first batch of test, I had one failure for filter/in_bbs_msg.t.
------------------ begin ----------------------------- filter/in_bbs_msg....# connecting to localhost.localdomain:8535 server side has failed (response code: 404), see t/logs/error_log for more details dubious Test returned status 29 (wstat 7424, 0x1d00) *** server localhost.localdomain:8529 shutdown !!! error running tests (please examine t/logs/error_log) ------------------ end -----------------------------
Running "t/TEST -verbose filter/in_bbs_msg.t", I got the following from t/logs/error_log
------------------ begin -----------------------------
[Thu Jun 05 10:10:40 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /home/haroon/src/build/mod_perl-1.99_09/t/htdocs/input_filter.html
------------------ end -----------------------------
Yup, this one is resolved:
cvs log t/filter/in_bbs_msg.t ... ---------------------------- revision 1.4 date: 2003/05/11 22:59:21; author: stas; state: Exp; lines: +2 -9 - get rid of the http://hostname:port in the GET request, as some lwp's fail to remove it from the GET line - replace manually coded exception handling with GET_BODY_ASSERT macro PR: Obtained from: Submitted by: Reviewed by:
I tend not to clutter the Changes file with test fixes, since they aren't relevant to final users.
So the 1.99_09 thread ends here. Will continue the rest in the other thread.
