Need Help with Perl 6 Module Test::Builder
I need Perl 6 module Test::Builder to continue porting CPAN Perl 5 module Geo::Ellipdoid to Perl 6. Test::Builder currently is in the Task::Star module but it fails during the build process with Rakudo 2015.03 (it did NOT fail with Rakudo 2015.02). I have filed a bug report at the github source repo (https://github.com/soh-cah-toa/p6-test-builder), and have attempted to contact the original author (Kevin Polulak, Email: kpolu...@gmail.com, IRC: soh_cah_toa) with no success yet. The offending line with 'make test' is shown in the error message: ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling lib/Test/Builder/Plan.pm Virtual call $.expected may not be used on partially constructed objects at lib/Test/Builder/Plan.pm:102 -- alid or missing plan!' unless $.expected�.defined; expecting any of: prefix or term make: *** [blib/lib/Test/Builder/Plan.pm.moarvm] Error 1 Then, when I comment out the offending line, I get this with 'make test': ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling lib/Test/Builder.pm The following packages were stubbed but not defined: Test::Builder at lib/Test/Builder.pm:287 -- done unless $TEST_BUILDER.done_testing }�EOL expecting any of: statement end make: *** [blib/lib/Test/Builder.pm.moarvm] Error 1 And I, a mere noob, have no idea how to proceed. I think that it will take some careful study of the whole package to see how the class constructors interrelate, but that will take some time. Could the singleton use be the problem? In the meantime, does anyone have any idea what might have triggered the failure between Rakudo 2015.02 and 2015.03? Were there any significant changes in the class construction that might be a place to look? Singleton use? I did re-visit at the Rakudo 2015.03 announcement and didn't notice anything obvious that seemed to affect the modules involved. Final questions: 1. Am I the only person seeing this failure? 2. If the failure continues (assuming I'm not the only one, shouldn't it be marked bad and removed from Task::Star? Thanks for any ideas. Cheers! -Tom

Hi Tom, I'm seeing the failure(s) as well. I've put in a PR that hopefully addresses this issue - https://github.com/soh-cah-toa/p6-test-builder/pull/2. While we're waiting for the author, you can try checkout out, and building https://github.com/dwarring/p6-test-builder.git Cheers, David On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 3:51 AM, Tom Browder tom.brow...@gmail.com wrote: I need Perl 6 module Test::Builder to continue porting CPAN Perl 5 module Geo::Ellipdoid to Perl 6.
