I meant, that I don't understand why do you get stuck at t/SMOKE? Are you trying to use it and it's not working? Or is it the TestMB that tries to create it and fails the whole thing, when you don't even want t/SMOKE? You really need t/TEST for the test suite. t/SMOKE is for advanced testing/debugging.
Oh, I see. Let's forget that I ever mentioned Module::Build and TestMB for a moment and stay in the realm of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
Let's assume I've created a TEST.PL, SMOKE.PL and a Makefile.PL that calls generate_script("t/TEST") and generate_script("t/SMOKE").
If I run:
perl Makefile.PL make perl t/TEST t/sometest
everything works fine. t/conf/apache_test_config.pm is auto-generated with the expected data from TestConfigData.pm.
Now, do a make distclean to start from scratch.
Now I run:
perl Makefile.PL make perl t/SMOKE
t/conf/apache_test_config.pm is NOT generated, nor is any other file in t/conf. This is what starts the endless "where's apache.exe" loop for me under win32.
The lack of autogenerated A-T config files leads to the assumption that using t/SMOKE REQUIRES that you first run t/TEST to autogenerate the configs.
Thanks for the explaination, Chris. It's clear now.
As I've mentioned t/SMOKE is usually run after t/TEST fails, so it has always relied on the fact that 'make test' was already run and therefore didn't require to run its own setup.
Patches to make it independent are very welcome.
I don't remeber reading that requirement anywhere and was curious if perl t/SMOKE show act exactly like t/TEST and qutogenerate the needed t/conf files.
