Hey, all! Quick background summary: Never done anything with CPAN Testers before, got a new computer a month or so back, and discovered Test::Reporter while configuring CPAN on it, so I figured I'd contribute the results of the tests I'm running anyhow. Because of this starting point, my box is still fairly bare as far as CPAN modules that I don't personally use, which leads me to suspect that I may have stumbled across a missing dependency that "everyone" has installed.
So, with that out of the way, I seem to have hit the screenfuls of confess() error stack jackpot in my initial tests of CT2 report submission. The top of the stack trace is: fact submission failed: Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket" at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Metabase/Client/Simple.pm line 111 Checking that the corresponding packages are installed yields: LWP is up to date (5.836). LWP::Protocol is up to date (5.829). LWP::Protocol::https is up to date (undef). For the requirements listed on http://wiki.cpantesters.org/wiki/QuickHowToCT20, I get: Test::Reporter is up to date (1.57). Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase is up to date (1.999007). Metabase::Client::Simple is up to date (0.008). Metabase::Fact is up to date (0.016). Where should I go from here? The full confess()ion follows: fact submission failed: Can't locate object method "new" via package "LWP::Protocol::https::Socket" at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Metabase/Client/Simple.pm line 111 Metabase::Client::Simple::submit_fact('Metabase::Client::Simple=HASH(0x107732e90)', 'CPAN::Testers::Report=HASH(0x100a038e8)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Test/Reporter/Transport/Metabase.pm line 131 Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase::send('Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase=HASH(0x100a052f8)', 'Test::Reporter=HASH(0x10760be88)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Test/Reporter.pm line 279 eval {...} called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/Test/Reporter.pm line 279 Test::Reporter::send('Test::Reporter=HASH(0x10760be88)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/CPAN/Reporter.pm line 487 CPAN::Reporter::_dispatch_report('HASH(0x107752608)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/CPAN/Reporter.pm line 106 CPAN::Reporter::grade_test('CPAN::Distribution=HASH(0x107167e88)', '/usr/bin/make test', 'ARRAY(0x10774f218)', 0) called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/CPAN/Reporter.pm line 212 CPAN::Reporter::test('CPAN::Distribution=HASH(0x107167e88)', '/usr/bin/make test') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Distribution.pm line 3056 CPAN::Distribution::test('CPAN::Distribution=HASH(0x107167e88)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Module.pm line 474 eval {...} called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Module.pm line 473 CPAN::Module::rematein('CPAN::Module=HASH(0x106611798)', 'test') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Module.pm line 503 CPAN::Module::test('CPAN::Module=HASH(0x106611798)') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Shell.pm line 1755 CPAN::Shell::rematein('CPAN::Shell', 'force', 'test', 'Crypt::SSLeay') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN/Shell.pm line 1935 CPAN::Shell::__ANON__('CPAN::Shell', 'test', 'Crypt::SSLeay') called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN.pm line 375 eval {...} called at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.10.1/CPAN.pm line 372 CPAN::shell() called at /opt/local/bin/cpan line 198 -- Dave Sherohman
