Bug ID: 8097
Summary: t/mkrules.t fails with old perl versions
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 4.0.0
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Regression Tests
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: Undefined
The change made to fix bug 7692 makes use of the environment variable
TEST_ACTIVE as an indicator that tests are being run. That variable is set by
Test::Simple, but only since version 1.302067. Perl version 5.24 and older came
bundled with older versions of Test::Simple as a core module. This causes
t/mkrules.t and t/mkrules_else.t to break when run under perl older than 5.26
unless Test::Simple is upgraded.
This can be fixed by adding Test::Simple minimum version 1.302067 as a test
requirement in Makefile.PL. This can replace the currently existing unversioned
entry for Test::More because Test::Simple is the correct designation for the
module bundle that includes Test::More as a submodule.
Since there is no problem with any version of perl since 5.26, and the tests
are already failing on any system with an old Test::Simple, I see no need to
make the tests check the version and skip running if the module is too old.
However, I'll add the minimum required version to the use Test::Simple so that
if someone does try to install in an environment without the required version
the test failure message will be self-explanatory.
