Re: Idea for a smoke setup: read-only home directory

I consider that bad behavior for tests. I'm considering making my home directory read-only and then smoking all of CPAN again to see what fails its tests. Do people think this would be useful or am I just getting overly annoyed without good reason? How about a user who's home directory is a unionfs mount with the basic file structure R/O and a disposable R/W layer on top of it? -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten

It's not the clutter that concerns me -- it's that I don't think
testers should be writing to $ENV{HOME} during testing. So setting it
RO would probably cause some FAIL reports and flush out the
responsible parties.
Ah yes - in that case I agree. Out of interest what kind of stuff are
people dumping there?

Re: CPAN::Reporter 1.15_52 misbehaving?
On 5 Jun 2008, at 11:29, David Golden wrote: Thanks. It looks like a fairly subtle bug from an interaction with Test::Harness. CPAN::Reporter sets PERL5OPT by appending -MDevel::Autoflush. Test::Harness then adds that to the @switches array it passes to the command line. If there is no prior PERL5OPT, the leading space causes perl to interpret it as a program to execute instead of a command line switch. Eliminating the leading space seems to fix the problem. Andy A -- you might want to have Test::Harness chomp leading spaces on PERL5OPT just to be safe. Aha. I'll fix that, ta. For me CPAN::Reporter seems broken at the moment for any module whose installer asks questions. The prompt is printed, I enter my answer and then it hangs. That's reproducible for me across a number of systems but I haven't had time to characterise it properly. Is that something you know about or is it just me? -- Andy Armstrong, Hexten
