Can't locate object method "delay" via package "Mojo::IOLoop"

[Malvineous]

I'm new to znapzend, setting it up for the first time, but when I go to test my configuration I'm getting an error and I'm not having much luck figuring out what is causing it:

# znapzend --noaction --debug --runonce=ssd
[...]

Can't locate object method "delay" via package "Mojo::IOLoop" at /opt/znapzend/lib/Mojo/IOLoop/ForkCall.pm line 27.

Is there some additional Perl package I need to install that isn't mentioned in the docs? Apparently I have Perl 5.32.0 installed.

I'm having the same issue. I edited the cpanfile to force version 8.73, and it appears to work, but the issue is that the 9.01 version of Mojolicious that's being pulled doesn't support that method anymore.

For reference, this is the commit where delay is removed from Mojo::IOLoop. https://github.com/mojolicious/mojo/commit/dd97afb36096d9347002a8389df1be391a757f65#diff-3c49204bac352d9347fa9af68678e6e30cb5521e0dea588826d4ef5f7a43083fL68

And this is the line in ForkCall that's trying to use it. https://github.com/jberger/Mojo-IOLoop-ForkCall/blob/master/lib/Mojo/IOLoop/ForkCall.pm#L27

This patch works for me:

After applying, I ran make clean, make, sudo make install, and sudo service znapzend restart.

Can it really be considered a fix? I mean, the world does not stop turning, and p5-Mojolicious keeps getting updated. I just discovered the very hard way that I have had no snapshots made since 17 February, the very date p5-Mojolicious was updated to 9.01 in FreeBSD ports. At the end I did go and revert the port to 8.73, and even locked the package so that it would never get updated, but it's not a long-term solution, really.

yes I agree :)
