Hello: Just built using http://rakudo.org/downloads/star/rakudo-star-2015.11.tar.gz. During `nmake rakudo-spectest`, I noticed a number of test failures. One set of these occurs in t\spec\S32-io\io-spec-win.t. Here is the test output: ok 206 - updir is ".." Method 'devnull' not found for invocant of class 'IO::Spec' in block <unit> at t\spec\S32-io\io-spec-win.t:299 # Looks like you planned 209 tests, but ran 206 Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) Failed 3/209 subtests Test Summary Report ------------------- t\spec\S32-io\io-spec-win.t (Wstat: 65280 Tests: 206 Failed: 0) Non-zero exit status: 255 Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 209 tests but ran 206. Files=1, Tests=206, 5 wallclock secs ( 0.17 usr + 0.06 sys = 0.24 CPU) Result: FAIL And, here is the relevant section in the test file: if $*DISTRO.name !~~ any(<mswin32 netware symbian os2 dos>) { skip-rest 'Win32ish on-platform tests' } else { # double check a couple of things to see if IO::Spec loaded correctly is IO::Spec.devnull, 'nul', 'devnull is nul'; is IO::Spec.rootdir, '\\', 'rootdir is "\\"'; ok {.IO.d && .IO.w}.(IO::Spec.tmpdir), "tmpdir: {IO::Spec.tmpdir} is a writable directory"; } It seems somehow IO::Spec is not delegating properly, but I haven't investigated this. BTW, after installation, the behavior persists: C:\> perl6 -e "say IO::Spec::Win32.devnull" nul C:\> perl6 -e "say IO::Spec.devnull" Method 'devnull' not found for invocant of class 'IO::Spec' in block <unit> at -e:1 C:\> perl6 -e "say IO::Spec" (Spec) C:\> perl6 -e "say IO::Spec::Win32" (Win32) And, for sanity: C:\> perl6 -e "use nqp; say nqp::p6box_s(nqp::atkey(nqp::backendconfig(), 'osname'));" MSWin32 I am afraid I do not know where to go from here, but FYI. HTH, -- Sinan
