Ovid,
> I'm not sure what's going on here. You've mentioned the Test::More, Test::Builder::Tester, Test::Tester and Test::File.
Sorry; perhaps I overexplained. This is a problem between Test::More
and Test::Builder, like the subject says. The other two are
irrelevant.
> I don't know exactly what is causing the problem you have with your tests, but if you check the TAP::Parser::Grammar (https://metacpan.org/module/TAP::Parser::Grammar) you'll see that the SKIP (and TODO) directives are case-insensitive. Thus, both SKIP and skip should be fine. If something is marking that as a failure, it's probably ignoring case-sensitivity for directives or it's expecting an exact text match.
Okay, that puts the blame squarely on Test::Builder::Tester then. It
definitely is expecting an exact text match. Going through the code a
bit, it looks like it would accept a regex (although this is not
documented in the POD) so I suppose I could code defensively enough to
work around it, but it seems like if the standard says case
insensitive, it might be better for Test::Builder::Tester to ignore
case altogether. Perhaps there are subtleties that would break other
stuff though ...
> In any event, I can't tell how to reproduce the issue from the plethora of modules you've listed. Can you send a small code example of a test failure?
This code:
{
local $^O = 'Win32';
my @subs = qw(
file_mode_is file_mode_isnt
file_executable_ok file_not_executable_ok
);
foreach my $sub ( @subs )
{
no strict 'refs';
test_out("ok 1 # skip $sub doesn't work on Windows!");
&{$sub}();
test_test();
}
}
works on Test::More (say) 0.98, but not on Test::More 1.005000_002.
I think I'll raise an issue on Test::Builder::Tester's github and see
what schwern has to say.
