tjdexter1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My install of Padra 0.96 was not successful saying Debug::Client 0.20 was not found. That came after I installed Stawberry Perl 5.16.1.1 (32bit) on my Window7 (64bit) workstation -- perl, itself, reported no errors or warnings during its earlier install.

Here's the Padre 0.96 install output:

    Test-Class is not passing all of its tests, and that kills the build.

    You need to use force: 
    cpan -f -i Test::Class

    [download]
    then try the Padre install again.

    Cheers,

    Just force the install and forget about it. ...or read on, and then force the install.

    Look at the real error report: 

    089: t\die-in-setup.t ...............
090: t\die-in-setup.t ............... 1/1 #   Failed test 'die in setu
+p caused test method to fail'
091: #   at t\die-in-setup.t line 28.
092: # STDERR is:

+ps - we died)'
094: # #   at t\die-in-setup.t line 27.
095: # #   (in Foo->setup_method)

103: #

105: t\die-in-setup.t ............... Failed 1/1 subtests

    In other words, the test failed because the output was: 

    Failed test 'setup_method (for test method 'test') died (oops - we die
+d)'
at t\die-in-setup.t line 27.
(in Foo->setup_method)

    [download]

    ...when the expected output was...

    Failed test 'setup_method (for test method 'test') died (oops - we die
+d)'

at t/die-in-setup.t line 27.

(in Foo->setup_method)

    [download]

    The test failed over the placement of three newlines -- possibly a line-endings cross-platform incompatibility. It's an innocuous failure at worst (and really rather silly).

    So by all means, force the install using sisyphus's suggestion above.

      I discovered additional dependency errors by doing:

      cpan -f -i Test::Class

      Those got remedied in doing:

      cpanp -i Debug::Client Padre --allow_build_interactivity=0 --skiptest=0 --force --prereqs=1

      Padre installed successfully. It seems PadWalker was missing on my system, too, but the interactive install allowed me to fix it.

      Thanks to all for timely positive contributions.

        Hi,

        This issue is caused by Test::Class and Strawberry Perl.

        It is fixed in https://metacpan.org/release/BOWTIE/Debug-Client-0.21_11/ compatable with Padre 0.97+

        regards bowtie
