Why Does Test::Deep Kill Test::Class

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

You know, this has been a terrible birthday so far. Bugs, bugs, bugs. The latest one has me pulling my hair out, but I don't know why. Test::Deep and Test::Class don't play well together. Here's the smallest test case I can get.

  package TestIt;

  use Test::Deep;

  use base 'Test::Class';

  sub startup : Tests(startup) {}

  1;
[download]

Trying to compile that results in:

  Invalid CODE attribute: Tests(startup => 1) at TestIt.pm line 9
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at TestIt.pm line 9.
[download]

I've gone nuts trying to debug this. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Ovid

This was covered before (first hit on google for Test::Deep Test::Class BTW :). Not sure if Adrian did something to change Test::Class but the latest version of Test::Deep does some magic to make isa() just work. Have you tried the latest versions?	[reply]

Sheesh. I was checking RT bugs and Changelogs, but somehow didn't think about Google :) Updating Test::Deep solved this. Thanks. (Whew!) What a painfully long day this is. Cheers, Ovid New address of my CGI Course.	[reply]

This and some other stuff are the root of my hatred of default exports (and the lack of a nice way to use things without exports at all).	[reply]

Don't use base? This does not complain: `package TestIt; use Test::Deep; use Test::Class; BEGIN { @TestIt::ISA = ( 'Test::Class' ) } #use base 'Test::Class'; sub startup : Tests(startup) { }` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Because Test::Deep exports something that conflicts with the attribute handler, so `use Test::Deep();` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
