Re^2: Running a packaged script using MozRepl

[frazap]

I followed Marshall's advice and install strawberry perl on my colleague's pc.

I couldn't pass the test with MozRepl::RemoteObject and at the end, I saw that the Firefox version of my colleague was 55 and mine is 54.

We install Firefox 54 on his pc and the packaged program using WWW::Mechanize::Firefox works.

So the mozrepl Addon does not work in FF 55.

I tried WWW::Mechanize::Chrome, which works as a script, but that I couldn't pack. Always hitting the error

Can't call method "new" without a package or object reference at Futur
+e/HTTP.pm line 67.

with the exe.

At the end, I have install this module and it's dependencies and use the script.

Future::HTTP dynamically loads the appropriate backends, so you need to include these when packaging your script too.

[frazap]

Thanks !

Could you be more specific on how can I include the missing object reference ?

F.

[Corion]

Most likely by adding the appropriate command line to your pp configuration file.

Maybe it is

-M Future/HTTP/Tiny.pm

Hi, Just so everyone is aware, it looks like WWW:Mechanize:FF will stop working with firefox 57:

> MozRepl will no longer work as of FF55 due to their shift to web extensions

Apparently and sadly yes, see https://github.com/bard/mozrepl

Important Notice

Key technologies upon which MozRepl depends will be retired from the Mozilla platform in November 2017. If you are relying on MozRepl, please investigate migration paths. The last known compatible version is Firefox 54.

This is indeed of interest for some of us, at least for maintainers and users of WWW::Mechanize::Firefox, which depends on MozRepl::RemoteObject

"which works as a script, but that I couldn't pack. Always hitting the error"

Can you show your pp line for the failed package?

[frazap]

pp @ppopts_chrome.txt -x -o cotes.exe cotes.pl reroid1.txt cotes.txt

With a horribly long ppots_chrome.txt file

Update: the long file resulted from my misaplication of your suggestion: if I gave default values for my args, to allow the script to run without problems with -x, I could diff the log file and the resulting modules (much shorter) list gave an exe that works

For clarity, after your 'update' do you have a working exe?

Give ppsimple.pl a try, if it doesn't work post the last part of the log which is the call to pp/invocation of pp, and the output of pp

Same error with ppsimple.pl

Hi,

Yeah, ppsimple makes too much output ... the call to pp itself is whats creates the .exe, the call to scandeps doesn't create any .exe
