in reply to Chrome freezes on windows when opened with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

Can I ask what Perl you are running on Windows?

I have tried to install WWW::Mechanize::Chrome several times on Strawberry Perl v32. Every time it has failed. Last evening I tried on a clean install of Strawberry Perl. It failed again, hanging on one of the tests (I can't recall which one and I am nowhere near that machine atm). It seems it has failed tests on Windows with Perl v32 so I was planning to get a Raspberry Pi 3 mostly to run WWW::Mechanize::Chrome.

But...you must have WWW::Mechanize::Chrome running on Windows...

    Bod,
    I am using Strawberry Perl (v5.32.1). Try cpanm -v --force WWW::Mechanize::Chrome to install WMC for strawberry Perl. The issue is discussed here: 11126245

      I am using Strawberry Perl (v5.32.1)

      So we are using the same version...

      Try cpanm -v --force WWW::Mechanize::Chrome to install WMC for strawberry Perl

      That's pretty much what I tried when cpanm WWW::Mechanize::Chrome failed.
      I've just tried again on a different machine and it hangs in the same place...

      t/50-gh63-encode-response-content.t ........... 2/4

      Here are the preceding lines if it helps with diagnosis.

        That shouldn't happen - can you please run the hanging test in isolation and with verbose output? The following steps should make the test output lots (and lots) of information:

        cpanm --look WWW::Mechanize::Chrome
perl Makefile.PL
set TEST_LOG_LEVEL=trace
perl -Ilib t/50-gh63-encode-response-content.t
