YAML-1.26_001: "Error parsing output from CPAN::Reporter::PrereqCheck" on Strawberry Perl

[twata1]

Hi,

I was at a loss which way I should report to YAML issues or CPAN-Reporter issues .

It seems to occur only in YAML-1.26_001, so I report it here.

Running Strawberry Perl 5.16.3 32 bit, I noticed the following message.

C:\home\picture>cpan TINITA/YAML-1.26_001.tar.gz

(snip)

All tests successful.
Files=54, Tests=541, 59 wallclock secs ( 0.61 usr +  0.38 sys =  0.98 CPU)
Result: PASS
(C:\Strawberry\c\bin\dmake.exe test exited with 0)
Error parsing output from CPAN::Reporter::PrereqCheck:
1..0CPAN::Reporter: Test result is 'pass', All tests successful.
CPAN::Reporter: preparing a CPAN Testers report for YAML-1.26_001
CPAN::Reporter: sending test report with 'pass' via Metabase
  TINITA/YAML-1.26_001.tar.gz
  C:\Strawberry\c\bin\dmake.exe test -- OK
Running make install

Thank you,

Thanks. Do you have any more information on this? Or how I can reproduce it without sending an actual report? I can't really see the failure, the error message is not from YAML.pm

Thank you for your reply.

Do you have any more information on this?

This CPAN Testers Report

That's about it.

Sorry for the lack of information . Although it may take time or I don't know if I can identify the cause, I will investigate the issue.

Thank you,

It seems to me that it occurs when a line containing "Test::YAML" is passed to CPAN::Reporter::PrereqCheck. I'm attaching sample files. prereqchk.pl.txt list1.txt list2.txt

The execution result is as follows.

C:\home\picture>prereqchk.pl list1.txt
Can't determine section names at C:\home\picture\perl5\lib\perl5/CPAN/Reporter/PrereqCheck.pm line 0.

Thanks! It seems this is related to a previous issue https://github.com/ingydotnet/test-yaml-pm/issues/3 in Test::Base. So my fix https://github.com/ingydotnet/test-base-pm/pull/21 wasn't sufficient.

I created https://github.com/ingydotnet/test-base-pm/issues/22. Since it has nothing to do with YAML.m itself I'm closing this.
