@perlpunk, thank you for filing this report.

The root cause of the problem is that in yesterday's Devel-NYTProf-6.08 CPAN release, one of my major objectives was to increase test coverage. Each of the 4 failing test files was added for that purpose. Each such test file requires some dummy data provided in a file named, e.g., t/nytprof_11-reader.out.txt, which I generated locally. Each such data file contains compressed data -- but not all perl installations can handle such data. Hence the error message.

I have previously observed failures like these on my Appveyor/Strawberry Perl configuration. See, e.g., https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jkeenan/devel-nytprof/builds/38912689. Originally, I figured this was a Windows-specific problem; see https://github.com/timbunce/devel-nytprof/issues/163. Since I don't have a Windows machine and could not immediately diagnose the problem further, I simply skipped those test files on Windows.

# Relax this restriction once we figure out how to make test $file work for
# Appveyor.
plan skip_all => "doesn't work without HAS_ZLIB" if (($^O eq "MSWin32") || ($^O eq 'VMS'));

However, it now appears that the problem is more perl-build-specific than OS-specific.

I made some preliminary attempts at diagnosing this problem in the diagnose-zlib-problem-20210424 branch in my GH repository.

@perlpunk and everyone else: The essential problem is: How can an individual test file determine whether the perl running the tests has compression or not?

If we can answer that question, then we can develop a more precise skip_all condition for these test files. (Ideally, we'll develop a better understanding of our test data. But that's a larger problem and I'd like to partialize it and solve a smaller problem first.)

Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

@jkeenan I can see this in the test output:

Compression: default level is 0, zlib version 0

So maybe checking for the NYTP_ZLIB_VERSION constant like in t/00-load.t would be enough?

I can attach a perl -V output also if this helps.

Please do! I will try to get back to this problem later today.

@perlpunk , could you take a look at this p.r.? https://github.com/timbunce/devel-nytprof/pull/171

Alternatively, could you check out the https://github.com/timbunce/devel-nytprof/tree/gh-163-169-has-zlib branch and give it a spin on the openSUSE platform where you observed the original problem?

Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

@jkeenan yes, the PR is working, thanks! I used the 6.08_001 tarball which made it a bit easier.

jkeenan commented 3 years ago

This should be closable now that v6.09 has been released.

perlpunk commented 3 years ago

Thanks! version 6.09 on its way to devel:languages:perl
