# New Ticket Created by James E Keenan # Please include the string: [perl #133958] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=133958 > We are experiencing massive test failures in our smoke-testing of the Perl 5 core distribution on FreeBSD-13-CURRENT. I am filing two separate bug tickets for these failures, since one failure appeared long before the others. This is the first of the two tickets. cpan/Test-Simple/t/Legacy/More.t is repeatedly failing during smoke-testing of non-threaded builds on FreeBSD-13. See, e.g.: http://perl5.test-smoke.org/report/82470 http://perl5.test-smoke.org/report/82946 Test failures: ~~ ../cpan/Test-Simple/t/Legacy/More.t ......................... FAILED 54 Non-zero exit status: 1 [stdio] -Dcc=clang++ -Duse64bitall [stdio] -Dcc=clang++ [stdio] -Dcc=clang++ DEBUGGING We only have one regular smoke-testing rig set up for FreeBSD-13, that of course being one of Carlos Guevara's rigs. These failures: i. Do not seem to occur on threaded builds. ii. Seem to occur on most, but not all, non-threaded builds. iii. Appear to have first reported during a smoke-test in http://perl5.test-smoke.org/report/79958, which suggests that the failures were introduced in, or shortly before commit https://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/8021814b48. That commit is in a deleted branch: smoke-me/khw-vlb. iv. Both Carlos and I have attempted to reproduce this failure manually -- but it only seems to crop up during smoke-testing. v. Here's the end of the file which is failing: ##### $ tail cpan/Test-Simple/t/Legacy/More.t ); # rt.cpan.org 53469 is_deeply with regexes is_deeply( qr/a/, qr/a/, "same regex" ); # These two tests must remain at the end. is( $@, $Err, '$@ untouched' ); cmp_ok( $!, '==', $Errno, '$! untouched' ); ##### Thank you very much.
