Apache::Test's "make test" can't be run as root if it gets unpacked somewhere under /root/, since Apache needs to run as 'nobody' which can't read/write files under /root/. Apache::Test's build nicely detects that situation and lets users to opt out from running 'make test'
I'm sorry, i'm not able to reproduce this behaviour with CPANPLUS 0.049; see a copy of the commands+output i've used below the sig
What version of CPANPLUS are you using?
0.048, which was the latest when I've submitted this report. I've upgraded to 0.049 and the problem is still there.
When running under CPAN.pm there are no problems. But when running under CPANPLUS, STDERR is buffered and the logic flow is broken. First the user gets the prompt:
CPAN Terminal> i Apache::Test ... Skip the test suite? [No]
I'm not getting this question -- Is this during 'perl Makefile.PL', because that one is /always/ run with verbose = 1 to allow for interactive makefile.pls
This happens during 'make test'. A-T gives users a chance to skip the test suite once it's started, when certain conditions occur.
To reproduce it you need to run as 'root' and have cpanplus build directory under /root/ or somewhere else where normal users can't read/write. Please let me know if you need any other help to reproduce it.
of course, the user can't make the right decision and reports us an error, which is not a module's problem. CPANPLUS is broken in that respect.
I'm still not sure /what/ is supposedly broken, since Apache::Test does not behave in the way you describe for me.
Please see above.
