Help identifying a failure report issue

[Martin J. Evans]

Hi,

I got the following failure report:

http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/505848f8-3d40-11e2-9c0b-78150de8c85b

from DCANTRELL

which says "Can't locate Module/Loaded.pm" and yet Module::Loaded is in the META.yml file for this version:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MJEVANS/DBIx-LogAny-0.02/META.yml

The test report shows:

requires:

Module Need Have
------------------- ---- -----
Data::Dumper 0 2.136
DBI 1.5 1.622
File::Spec 0 3.31
Log::Any 0.14 0.14
Log::Any::Adapter 0.1 0.10
Test::More 0.62 0.98

and Module::Load is missing from it.

Any ideas how this can be?

Martin

I don't see this module in the requirements list in your Makefile.PL.
How did it made its way into the META.yml file?

I manually edit the META.yml file - it is not generated.

I'm not an expert, but I think that the .yml file is there for the
automatic tools, not for installation.
In the installation process only Makefile.PL is used.
So please add this dependency to your Makefile.PL.

Why do you manually edit the yml file anyway?

Shmuel.

[Martin J. Evans]

Thanks. I'll fix that.

No particular reason, I know it can be generated.

If I remove the NO_META from my ExtUtils::MakeMaker->writeMakefile:

WriteMakefile(

I don't get the resources out properly:

I'm not sure if that's still the case with a modern CPAN.pm, but it
certainly is with the older one that you'll find installed just about
everywhere.

The logic is the following: per default META.{yaml,json} files are not
authoritative, but for the two parameters

configure_requires
dynamic_config

'configure_requires' must be satisfied first. After that the parameter
'dynamic_config' is checked: if it's missing, it defaults to true. If
it's true, then the {Build,Makefile}.PL is used to determine the
remaining dependencies. Otherwise the META file determines them.


(1) has a META.{yml,json}? no goto (4)

yes

(2) has configure_requires yes satisfy configure_requires, fall through

no

(3) dynamic_config exists and is false satisfy dependencies, fall through

yes

(4) {Build,Makefile}.PL
