Re: CPAN Testers shows N/A

What do you mean by "N/A"? Are there counts of how many testers arrived at "N/A" or are you saying that no testing has actually been done?

My first module launch flopped, with around 40% success rate versus failure per the smoke testing--but no "N/A" results, so I'm ignorant of what those look like. However, I made adjustments and posted an updated version which would surely have passed the tests--but then no tests were run. In fact, the testers continued to test the old version, not seeming to have noticed at all that a new one had been uploaded. So I have had zero test results from it...but I'm not sure if this is the equivalent to the "N/A" you speak of.

Blessings,

Just means tests weren't run by the smoker for one reason or another. When the process is halted during the configure or build steps, no tests are run so test results are N/A. Not available.	[reply]

Yep. Looking at the tester output of a single result, I see: `Thank you for uploading your work to CPAN. While attempting to build +or test this distribution, the distribution signaled that support is not avail +able either for this operating system or this version of Perl.` [download] If OP can't figure out the issue, I'll look into the distribution itself tomorrow afternoon.

If OP can't figure out the issue, I'll look into the distribution itself tomorrow afternoon. See my very first reply way at the top. In their `Makefile`, they changed `MIN_PERL_VERSION => '5.006'` in their previous dist to `MIN_PERL_VERSION => '5.10'`. That's perl 5.6.0 to 5.100.0. They meant `5.010` for perl 5.10.0.

What do you mean by "N/A"? If you look at the Testers Matrix for the latest version of AI::Embedding, you will see "N/A" for Perl version 5.8.9. This is because my module specifies that it requires a minimum Perl version of 5.10, so testing under an earlier version of Perl makes no sense. If instead, we look at the test results for the version that was the topic of this thread, everything is "N/A". I couldn't understand why until SankoR helpfully explained it in Re: CPAN Testers shows N/A	[reply]
