Re: Errors building XML::LibXML (source code)

[tye]

You are aware that you have free access to all of the source code involved, right?

Pick one of the failing tests (like the first one) and run it outside of the "harness" that hides all of the details:

perl -Mblib t/02parse.­t 2>&1 | less

Then, if needed, look at the source code in t/02parse.t and figure out why the particular failing test cases are failing. Then, if needed, look at the source code of the module that gets executed for the test and figure out what is causing the failure. Then, if needed, post questions about what you find to try to solicit help diagnosing.

You can even combine the first 3 steps into one session by using the Perl debugger:

perl -d -Mblib t/02parse.t

Me looking at t/02parse.t trying to guess what might possibly cause 343 or its 531 subtests to fail sounds likely to be a particularly inefficient way to try to diagnose your problem.

"You are aware that you have free access to all of the source code involved, right?"

indeed, but alas, I am not a Perl Monk. I am more of a Perl Acolyte wannabe. I did try to run that very test manually, but could not make sense of the output. Here's a sample:

perl -Mblib t/02parse.t

I looked at the 02parse.t code, but could not spot anything.

Being that it seems related to XML parsing, I updated XML::SAX and XML::SAX::Base, in the hopes that it would help. It did not. Ironically, it did fix my original Perl code issue, which was why I was trying to package XML::LibXML in the first place. I'd still like to figure out this problem, though.

You need to skip to the first line that says "not ok".
