Subject: perl t9700 failures?
Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:52:00 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.1.10.0806291241210.27776@hp.linux-foundation.org> (raw)


Am I the only one who gets this error:

	*** t9700-perl-git.sh ***
	*   ok 1: set up test repository
	*  run 2: Perl API (perl ../t9700/test.pl)
	* FAIL 2: Perl API
	        perl ../t9700/test.pl
	* FAIL 3: no stderr: Perl API
	        perl ../t9700/test.pl
	* failed 2 among 3 test(s)

which I have no idea about, since to me perl is a black box, and doing  
run of the tests with '-i -v' doesn't actually tell any more about which 
part of the perl script is failing, or why.. Trying to run the perl thing 
by hand, though, gives me this:

	Can't locate Test/More.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...)

which is presumably the problem. It looks like it is assuming I have the 
Test::More perl libs, which I presumably don't have, don't have any clue 
where they are, nor really any interest in installing.

Wouldn't it be a lot more polite to just not run the test when the 
Test::More stuff doesn't exist? Rather than failing the testsuite? From a 
quick "git grep", this test is the only one that uses Test::More..
