I have this program:

    #!/Applications/Rakudo/bin/perl6

    use Test;
    bail-out();

When I run it, it complains about too many parameters:

    $ prove -e 'perl6 -Ilib' t/bail.t
    t/bail.t .. Any
    Too many positionals passed; expected 1 argument but got 2
      in sub bail-out at
/Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/sources/C712FE6969F786C9380D643DF17E85D06868219E
(Test) line 258
      in block <unit> at t/bail.t line 4

    t/bail.t .. Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
    No subtests run

    Test Summary Report
    -------------------
    t/bail.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
      Non-zero exit status: 1
      Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
    Files=1, Tests=0,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr  0.01 sys +  2.14
cusr  0.16 csys =  2.34 CPU)
    Result: FAIL

This is the section causing the problem:

    256     sub bail-out ($desc?) is export {
    257         $output.put: join ' ', 'Bail out!', ( $desc ?? $desc !! '' );
    258         $done_testing_has_been_run = 1;
    259         exit 255;
    260     }

I made several changes to try to suss out the problem, but I couldn't
make the error go away without removing line 257. When I check "$output.^name",
I get "Any".

Running without `prove` shows the same problem:

    $ perl6 t/bail.t
    Too many positionals passed; expected 1 argument but got 2
      in sub bail-out at
/Applications/Rakudo/share/perl6/sources/C712FE6969F786C9380D643DF17E85D06868219E
(Test) line 257
      in block <unit> at t/bail.t line 4

Running it in https://glot.io/new/perl6 shows the same thing.

Besides the actual error, the error message isn't great. I would have
liked it to mention the method name and class causing the problem.


This is:

    $ perl6 -v
    This is Rakudo version 2017.04.3 built on MoarVM version 2017.04-53-g66c6dda
    implementing Perl 6.c.
