Moose: inherited attributes

rootcho has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Brand new installation .. trying to run my app, but it blows up with the error below.
As you may deduce I have a attribute 'obj_templates' in the parent class and then in the ansestor I override it with '+obj_templates' declaration.
The same app work OK on a different machines with Moose ver : 1.21 and 2.08

What look suspicious to me is this part of the msg.. there is no module named after "from" ?!
Also if I disable the attr in the parent and remove the '+' in the ansestor it works.

to inherit from in VS::Payload::Postal

Any idea how can I resolve or even start to debug this problem ?
Here is the error I get in version 2.1200 :

Could not find an attribute by the name of 'obj_templates' to inherit

Moose's error messages are notoriously bad. There's often a helpful line, but it's usually buried in a hundred other unhelpful ones. You haven't shown any source code, so the best I can do is take a wild stab in the dark. One biggish change between Moose 2.08 and 2.12 is the way that Moose decides whether a class is loaded or not. In older versions of Moose it used various interesting heuristics. In newer versions it uses the simpler policy of checking `%INC`. Your VS::Payload::Postal class inherits from some base class. Is this base class in an appropriately named module file - i.e. if the base class is called Foo::Bar, then is it defined in a file called "Foo/Bar.pm", and stored in a directory listed in @INC? `use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Moose: inherited attributes by rootcho (Pilgrim) on Jan 12, 2014 at 02:37 UTC
thanks. .No the file names match.. That is how the code looks.. `VS::Payload has 'obj_templates', is => 'rw', isa => 'HashRef'; VS::Payload::Postal has '+obj_templates', is => 'rw', default => sub{{ .... }};` [download] It works if I change it to this : `VS::Payload #has 'obj_templates', is => 'rw', isa => 'HashRef'; VS::Payload::Postal has 'obj_templates', is => 'rw', default => sub{{ .... }};` [download] i.e. it behaves as if I have not declared anything in the parent class.

This reminds me of decoding C++ template compiler barf in the 90s, but worse, because it includes random memory addresses you can no longer see, rather than the names of internal templates in libstdc++. C++ compilers are much better these days, so at least there is some hope over the next decade.	[reply]
