Since it broke the test suite, can you back out the change and check it in on a branch. Thanks.
I can easily back out the change in XPathScript, as it is the only module not working. The others work well even on several of my large sites using all sorts of file://, sql://, document_root relative and axkit:// URIs from within XSLT, XSP and XInclude. Thus I would like to leave the rest in place, as it is obviously working and at least one of our long-time users asked me when this feature is going in.
"Works fine here" is nice, but it is not the criteria for checking significant changes into the main branch. I'm sorry if you've been misled.
I'd also love to test it, but Apache::Test is not working on any machine I have access to, and never has in the past. Does anyone have any hints how to get a working Apache::Test setup? The docs show no hint of troubleshooting options, and it is constantly picking up the wrong httpd (/usr/sbin/httpd isn't always apache), or writing a config the apache doesn't grok.
First, make sure that you have the latest Apache::Test from CPAN. Past that, I'm not exactly sure which docs you're looking at, but the one here [1] shows that you can pass the -httpd option with an appropriate path to the t/TEST script to indicate the Apache binary you which to test against. That is (in the root of the AxKit dist):
perl t/TEST -httpd /path/to/your/apache
A quick look at "perl t/TEST -help" yields many more options that might help you along.
Assuming that this gives you a working test environment, I'm confident that you'll not only fix the current XPS bug, but also include a series of tests that exercise your changes for each module they effect; or, barring those, that you will back you changes out as requested.
Finally, is this list archived somewhere? I have been thrown off due to my mail disaster a few weeks ago and would like to catch up with mails.
