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>---- Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail List of Failed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/08_session/05_yaml.t 1 256 12 1 11 t/08_session/05_yaml...........................NOK 11/12 # Failed test 'session dir was not recreated' # at t/08_session/05_yaml.t line 58. # 'Error in tempfile() using /tmp/LGNdqcYb9t/sessions/714935461137124675383662533356367296.XXXXXXXX: Parent directory (/tmp/LGNdqcYb9t/sessions/) is not a directory at /root/.cpan/build/Dancer-1.3060-R45rPb/blib/lib/Dancer/Session/YAML.pm line 90 # ' # doesn't match '(?-xism:Parent directory .* does not exist)' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 12. t/08_session/05_yaml...........................dubious Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) DIED. FAILED test 11 Failed 1/12 tests, 91.67% okay ----<stop 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
