Re: Failing to Install File::Copy::Recursive

"...what is going on..."

No idea. But i just (2h ago or so) had success with v5.24.1 for DateTime-1.45 and File::Copy::Recursive 0.40 with cpanm DateTime on my Mac.

Best regards, Karl

hmm interesting I tried again and it failed to install File::Copy::Recursive with same errors. The error are same as mentioned on bug report. I am installing on RHEL 7.2. I wonder if this OS specific. Either way it is frustrating.	[reply]

I wonder if this OS specific It's the same failures for me on Windows 7 for perls 5.16.0, 5.27.6 and 5.27.8 - and probably all perl versions in between, though that is untested. CORRECTION: Whilst it's the same test file that's failing, the actual failure is quite different on Windows: > perl -Mblib t/01.legacy.t # functionality w/ default globals ok 1 - DirPerms default is 0777 ok 2 - CPRFComp default is false ok 3 - RMTrgFil default is false not ok 4 - dircopy() defaults as expected when target does not exist # Failed test 'dircopy() defaults as expected when target does not e +xist' # at t/01.legacy.t line 331. # Structures begin differing at: # $got->{C:/Users/sisyphus/AppData/Local/Temp/tNBiHmA0Z3/orig +/data} = Does not exist # $expected->{C:/Users/sisyphus/AppData/Local/Temp/tNBiHmA0Z3/orig +/data} = 'file' Error open (<) on 'C:/Users/sisyphus/AppData/Local/Temp/tNBiHmA0Z3/new +/C:/Users/sisyphus/AppData/Local/Temp/tNBiHmA0Z3/new/data': Invalid a +rgument at t/01.legacy.t line 338. # Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not s +een. # Looks like your test exited with 22 just after 4. [download] Perhaps it's "OS specific" in that it works only on some versions of MacOS ;-) But the best thing you can do is (as already suggested) to download either version 0.38 or version 0.39, unpack the tar.gz, 'cd' to the top-level folder, and run (in sequence) 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test' and 'make install'. I suggest grabbing 0.38 as I know that 0.38 works fine for me. I haven't tried 0.39. The second best thing you can do is to just force installation of the module ( `cpan -fi File::Copy::Recursive`). For all we know it might just be a bug in the new, more extensive, 0.40 test suite. The 0.38 test suite tested only that the module was loadable. I doubt that the DateTime module really has any use for File::Copy::Recursive, so even if there are bugs in File-Copy-Recursive-0.40 functionality, I would think they are unlikely to affect the workings of DateTime. And File::Copy::Recursive can always be overridden with a newer version if need be. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
