Does that log you are giving here come from make test run or from manual run?

    Hi hotpelmen,
    this outpout was produces by a:
    "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1" on the shell.
    When I try to run it as a perl inliner I got the folloing:

    perl -MExtUtils::Command::MM -MTest::Harness - e undef *Test::Har
ness::Switches; test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch') t/ *.t
/bin/-sh: syntax error: `(' unexpected

    But I have no idea how to start it manualy or how to use the correct syntax for the perl interpreter?
    Can you help me on this ?

    The log with "### START ##..." was the outout of the test script: 00simple_test.t that I'v created to see what is going on since the TEST::HARNESS will discharge any output to STDOUT.

    I've found this on the internet:
    "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 TEST_FILE=<test_script> | tee test.log"
    when I run it as:
    "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 TEST_FILE=t/00simple_test.t | tee test.log"
    It also hangs and there are no additional informations in the created test.log. Did someone know what additional TEST variables I can use to see what is going on ?

      Shouldn't you be able to run prove -bv? Then you don't have to fiddle with the harness directly. If it runs as it should, then your problem is probably something in the makefile. If it doesn't run as it should, the error messages might be more helpful at least.

        Hi Dave,
        when i run prove -bv I get the hang on the same position.

        /tmp/DBI-1.633>prove -bv
        t/00simple_test.t ...............<--- hangs for ever

        When I run it for a specific script is shows: t/00simple_test.t ..<--- hangs for ever now after two dots

        When I run it in DRY run mode ("prove -D"(do nothing just check for the scripts) it works fine, no hang and it comes to an end!
        So I need to find why it hangs, at what state and in what module or routine happens this stuck situation?

        Regards WolliK

       I think the problem there is the space in - e, which should be appearing as -e

      Remove that space and at least one of your problems should go away.
      However, I don't know exactly where to look in order to fix whatever it is that's inserting that space - somewhere in ExtUtils::MakeMaker, I guess.
      What version of EU::MM do you have ?

      Update: On closer inspection it seems that you might be responsible for the insertion of that space - as the space aint there in your first post.

      Cheers,
      Rob
