Error code 255, while making 'test_dynamic' with Strawberry Perl on MS Windows

Hello

I found a little problem by compiling last version of 'Dancer-Plugin-Database' with Strawberry Perl on MS Windows. I have a very little patch to solve it. ;)

Below my report :

Weird. At first glance, that fix makes no sense to me - it does not look like it ought to fix the problem.

You're sure that it was fixed by that, and isn't just an intermittent failure that sometimes fails, sometimes doesn't?

I'm willing to incorporate the fix either way as it's safe, but it just feels weird to me - off the top of my head, the lack of params should only matter if var hasn't yet been defined by that point, but it has (if it hadn't, I'd expect a compilation failure, not incorrect behaviour).

Answer 2 · 2012-10-04T21:34:38.000Z

Out of curiosity @sdeseille would you be able to provide the output from the start of testing which should show which versions of the most pertinent dependencies you're running? Struggling to understand or reproduce the problem here

Answer 3 · 2012-10-04T21:41:59.000Z

@sdeseille We've sadly been unable to reproduce your issue. Since you are on windows, like me, it would be extremely helpful if you could just zip up your entire strawberry directory and upload it. My suggestion for a host would be dropbox.

Can you please do that?

Answer 4 · 2012-10-04T21:45:11.000Z

Thanks @wchristian for your effort trying to reproduce this - appreciate it :)

@sdeseille - if you're happy to share your strawberry directory, we could perhaps figure out why this was failing for you, and why the change suggested should make any difference.

The only way I can see it should change the behaviour is if var() hadn't been defined at that point - then you could see behaviour like my experiment at http://scsys.co.uk:8002/209267 - but var is defined as part of the core DSL in Dancer.pm, so if that was the case, things would be seriously screwy!

Hi again

I made new test and i identified problem is link to the step of installing
module by cpanm.

Test failed like this :
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cpanm Dancer::Plugin::Database

But if i went to following directory
: C:.cpanm\work\1349388271.1888\Dancer-Plugin-Database-2.01
and i made test by hand it work without error even if i don't modify
TestApp.pm as you can see below.

I will share with you my strawberry repository tomorrow night.

Hello all

You will find dropbox link to my strawberry Perl repository here :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/w64qaw1e63sre90/Strawberry_sdeseille.zip

I updated DBI and DBD::SQLite modules but nothing is solved.

Wow, strange. I downloaded that zip, unpacked it to d:, then put portableshell.batand portable.perl from the PortableZip editions into the dir, ran the bat and ran cpanm Dancer::Plugin::Database. It installed without any issue.

Do you have any other Perls installed?

Can you please download a portable strawberry perl and install via that?

Answer 8 · 2012-10-06T13:38:20.000Z

Hi Christian

Thanks a lot for your help.

I found an old install of active state perl on my laptop.
I uninstalled it and next tried again to install Dancer::Plugin::Database.

And the result is : ......

Successfully installed Dancer-Plugin-Database-2.01 (upgraded from 1.51)
1 distribution installed

So my problem wasn't a bug and it is solved.

Best regards

Haha, yeah. It's possible that that interfered somehow. Thanks for checking. :)
