Test::Reporter Can't locate object method new
One of my Darwin machines has, this morning, started to give this error: Can't locate object method new via package Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Test/Reporter.pm line 277. I ran install Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase with the result Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase is up to date (1.999005). And then install Test::Reporter with the result Test::Reporter is up to date (1.57). What can I do next? -Nigel -- Nigel Horne. Arranger, Adjudicator, Band Trainer, Composer, Tutor, Typesetter.

It is a higher *version* than 2.6. I suppose this exposes another bug: that you can compare different data types (in this case a number and a version) without an explicit cast :-) -- David Cantrell | Official London Perl Mongers Bad Influence There is no one true indentation style, But if there were KR would be Its Prophets.

Re: Test::Reporter Can't locate object method new
Nigel -- you seem have a lot of situations of has started to give this error. Thank you for stress testing things and finding odd errors, but I need you to give me more information about: (a) What was the situation before things broke (b) What did you do that caused the break (c) What kind of fixes did you try (d) All the usual perl -V details In particular, I'm not clear in your email below if I ran install was (b) or (c) above. More generally, the kinds of problems you're reporting make me very suspicious that you've got @INC problems or that things are not getting installed where you think they are getting installed. There was a point in perl history where CPAN+ExtUtils::MakeMaker will install into the wrong version of perl if you have multiple perls on your system. (IIRC, it installs into the first Perl in $PATH instead of the perl that is running CPAN.pm) Could you please manually verify the versions that are installed in your library paths? -- David On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 4:42 AM, Nigel Horne n...@bandsman.co.uk wrote: One of my Darwin machines has, this morning, started to give this error: Can't locate object method new via package Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase at /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Test/Reporter.pm line 277.

Re: Test::Reporter Can't locate object method new
(a) What was the situation before things broke Generally all OK - I was able to send and submit CPAN2.0 reports. (b) What did you do that caused the break Sometimes I would install an updated version of a module, sometimes I would run a Smoker, sometimes I would sleep (i.e. it worked fine one day, but not when I came back to it the next time). (c) What kind of fixes did you try Reinstall Metabase::Fact, Test::Reporter, CPAN::Reporter, Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase, Metabase::Client::Simple (d) All the usual perl -V details My Cygwin installation has just suffered the same problem.

More generally, the kinds of problems you're reporting make me very suspicious that you've got @INC problems or that things are not getting installed where you think they are getting installed. Agreed - but I promise I'm not changing anything from the standard (except on Hurd when one must do export PERL5LIB=/etc for CPAN to work - this is a known bug with Perl on that operating system). There was a point in perl history where CPAN+ExtUtils::MakeMaker will install into the wrong version of perl if you have multiple perls on your system. (IIRC, it installs into the first Perl in $PATH instead of the perl that is running CPAN.pm) I only have one Perl on most systems. I only have two on my Solaris machines (one configured to use GCC etc. and one configured to use Sun Studio). Could you please manually verify the versions that are installed in your library paths? I tried to download pmtools as documented at http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#Where_find_Perl_modules by doing wget http://language.perl.com/misc/pmtools-1.00.tar.gz;, but it created a file called download.csp. I've not yet had the time to investigate why. So

David Golden wrote: I have ranted in many other forums that dotted decimal versions should always be expressed in normal form -- meaning a leading v and at least 3 parts (v2.17.1 or v2.6.0) to avoid confusion. I strongly disagree. ExtUtils::MakeMaker doesn't handle v-strings. It's documented in http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm, it's advised to use version or regular strings. I had some bad experience because of v-strings in certain modules' Makefile.PL because '2.1.3' 2.1.4 and v49.46.48 == 1.0 I'd say any version that has more than one dot in it, is evil. And v-strings are even more evil. -- Serguei Trouchelle

Existing Testers -- please request your CT 2.0 profile online
Dear CPAN Testers, You may or may not realize that Barbie has done a tremendous amount of work over the years to reconcile email addresses to individual testers. As we move to CT 2.0, every testers will have a Metabase profile -- a JSON file containing identify information and a shared secret -- that will be used instead of email addresses to identify testers. (You will want to use the same profile file on every machine you test from.) To be as consistent with the zero-registration approach of CPAN Testers historically, anyone can just generate a Metabase profile and start testing and the infrastructure will auto-register the profile (and secret). However, to make it easier for me to connect legacy reports to your new CT 2.0 profile, I have pre-generated profile files for everyone submitting reports (at least as of several months ago) that I can link to all the old emails that were used in testing. Florian Ragwitz then graciously wrote a quick Catalyst app to serve up these pre-generated profiles. (Thank you, Florian!) If you do not already have your CT 2.0 profile file from the beta test, please go to http://metabase.cpantesters.org/claimid/ and enter an email address that you use for CPAN Testers (and that can receive email). Your profile file will be emailed to you. Then follow instructions on wiki.cpantesters.org for how to install and use it. You may, of course, generate new profiles for any particular need you have, but there is no plan as of yet to allow people to easily merge merge profiles for the purposes of the CPAN Testers statistics (e.g. the Leaderboard). If you have trouble getting your profile, please check your spam traps for email from Metabase Admin metabase-ad...@cpantesters.org. If you still have trouble, please email this list (or me directly) with details. Thank you, David
