Re^4: Chrome freezes on windows when opened with WWW::Mechanize::Chrome

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

can you please run the hanging test in isolation and with verbose output Certainly - I've run this on two separate machines and I get the same result... It hangs at the end of the output and doesn't return to a command promt. UPDATE: Something in the output is screwing up the rendering. It was OK in preview mode but doesn't display properly... So - Find It Here Hope this is helpful.	[reply]

Thanks for posting the log! Looking at it, there is some redirect loop going on that I don't hit when I'm testing - that's one of the drawbacks of running tests against external servers... I don't see a good/quick fix, but as the test suite progresses somewhat, it seems sane to force-install the module, skipping the test suite. I'll look at rewriting the test using only local resources so it doesn't trip with the next (regional) behaviour change.	[reply]

Thanks for posting the log! No problem at all...thanks for creating what looks like an extremely useful module! that's one of the drawbacks of running tests against external servers... Yes - when I wrote the tests for Business::Stripe::WebCheckout, I tried to get it to connect to my server during testing with dummy public and private keys. Although the test server gave the right response to a browser, it always failed when the Perl tests tried to access it. The required code for testing mode is still in the module... choroba helpfully shared a blog over on Re^5: [RFC] Module code and POD for CPAN - Testing and test file That blog is a bit beyond me at present so I had planned to go back and revisit Business::Stripe::WebCheckout. I have not done that yet and really should. Perhaps there is a need for a module to help with testing modules that need to connect to external services?	[reply]
