Re: testing with a "warn"

Hi. Sorry to ask again, but there are two independent questions here. 1) What is the purpose or best use of 'warn'. 2) How to test code that contains a 'warn' used as it should be. 1) I thought that a 'warn' would be used where sometimes the user would want a fail but not always. I have a

testing with a "warn"

I have a condition that uses warn something like (its just an illustration) sub abc { ... if $iterations > 150 { $iterations = 150; warn 'excess recursion, clamping at 150'; } In my test suite I tried throws-like { abc('excess') }, Exception, 'got the exception', message =>

Re: testing with a "warn"

I didn't actually read the other mail in this thread yet, but you can catch a control exception (like warn uses) with a CONTROL block. Don't forget to .resume the exception unless you want it to break out of your code, too. Hope to help! - Timo

Re: Helping Perl 6: a complete dev environment

I just have a ~/perl6 where i have a clone of MoarVM/MoarVM, perl6/nqp, and rakudo/rakudo. You just have to provide each Configure.pl with the same --prefiix - in my case that's ~/perl6/install - then everything will find each other. There's some extra paths in my $PATH:

Re: Difficulty Installing Module on Latest Rakudo Star

Right; looks like Digest isn't properly installed after all. Try 'panda --force install Digest'? On 29/04/16 23:39, Joe Polanik -X (jpolanik - RESOLVIT RESOURCES LLC at Cisco) wrote: Hmmm, No that gets a similar error. $ perl6 -MDigest -e1 ===SORRY!=== Could not find Digest at line 1 in:

Re: Difficulty Installing Module on Latest Rakudo Star

Alright. You mention Digest itself being installed, so just to be sure: 'perl6 -MDigest -e1' works fine? On 29/04/16 23:21, Joe Polanik -X (jpolanik - RESOLVIT RESOURCES LLC at Cisco) wrote: Tadeusz, I tried using —force because I initially thought I would be reinstalling Bailador.
