in reply to Failing Tests in MozRepl

I think the last three failures are less tough, as they try to fetch documentation from an URL that has changed since the release of MozRepl. I don't know why there are additional (bad) quotes in the first tests though. Do you know what versions of the mozrepl plugin, MozRepl and Firefox you are running this with?

    CPAN tries to install MozRepl 0.06, the rest is already mentioned at the beginning of the OP. I am running openSUSE 12.1.

      I can replicate these failures under Windows XP using Firefox 10.0.1 as well. It seems that Mozilla broke backwards compatibility there. If you only care about using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, you should be able to force-install MozRepl, as MozRepl::RemoteObject uses a different method of transferring (resp. delimiting) data. At least, the test suite for both modules still pass even though the test suite for MozRepl fails.

      Update: It seems that most (but only) MozRepl plugins are affected, like the JSON plug-in. I haven't looked at what could be the cause though.

        Thank you. Using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox is indeed my goal. After forcing installation of MozRepl, I was able to install MozRepl::RemoteObject, but WWW::Mechanize::Firefox fails some tests:
