Hello Carlos, thanks for your hint! Having in mind, that I could install Dancer 1.3060 on my Windows system and now knowing, that it installs on Debian "unstable", I did some further investigations. "t/08_session/05_yaml.t" for Dancer 1.3060 introduced some further tests using temporary files and directories. Thus, my hope was to find the solution for my problem in some platform specific code, that deals with these files and directories. Finally I found out that I "just" had to upgrade my "File::Temp" from 0.18 to 0.22 - after that, Dancer installations finished successfully! Concerning the two versions of "File::Temp" there occured some changes on output strings ("is not a directory" vs. "does not exist") - Dancer installation expected the newer ones. I listed the differences for illustration purpose down below ;-) Greetings, Stefan ----<start output>---- lenny64:~# grep 'Parent' /root/Temp.pm_0.18 ${$options{ErrStr}} = "Parent directory ($parent) is not a directory"; ${$options{ErrStr}} = "Parent directory ($parent) is not writable\n"; ${$options{ErrStr}} = "Parent directory ($parent) is not safe ($safeerr)"; ${$options{ErrStr}} = "Parent directory ($parent) is not safe ($safeerr)"; but shorter.

I can confirm that in Debian unstable, Dancer 1.3060 builts correctly without a problem. http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/d49c478a-98f1-11e0-bf7b-ec4f2fb29734

Hello fellow dancers,

trying to upgrade Dancer from 1.3050 to 1.3060 on my Debian 5.0 system, I got an error message during "make test" when it came to run tests on Dancer sessions. The relevant output was this:

----<start output>----

I have to admit, that I don't have any practical knowledge on writing tests - up till now, I only used distributions and never wrote one :-) Trying to interpretate the message it seemed to me, that in the above mentioned message, the expected output just differed a little bit from the one, that really occured during the test ("is not a directory" vs. "does not exist"). Optimistically I changed line 58 of "t/08_session/05_yaml.t" from: like ($@, qr/Parent directory .* does not exist/, "session dir was not recreated"); to: like ($@, qr/Parent directory .* is not a directory/, "session dir was not recreated");

After this alteration, "make test" and "make install" just worked without any errors - Dancer 1.3060 is now available on my system. It would be nice, if anyone could comment my approach - I am not sure, if I did the right thing.

Thanks and greetings, Stefan _______________________________________________ Dancer-users mailing list Dancer-users@perldancer.org http://www.backup-manager.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/dancer-users
