#371 Build test error

[sallou]

Hi,
I downloaded version 2.38 of GBRowse2 at CPAN.
I have an error at Build test time, solved in 2.31:

* Fixed "testdata/conf/languages/POSIX.pm: Permission denied" error when running Build test.

Test fails at t/03.render.t "testdata/conf/languages/POSIX.pm: Permission denied" at .../t/testdata/TemplaceCopy.pm line 18

This occurs in my debian packaging. Could you check and tell me where the error was fixed so that I can check on my side?
For debian packaging, I needed to patch some install files, but it should not impact tests.

Reassigning ticket, since I'm not a developer for this project.

Hi,
I found the issue in t/testdata/conf/languages/POSIX.pm which indeed has access rights to 444 instead of 644 for template rewrite.

File in tar need to get correct access permissions.

Hi,

Can you please clarify what the problem is: do you mean that this test is still occurring in the 2.38 release, or do you want information about a historical release for the purposes of building/testing debian packages?

Thanks,
Scott

It occurs back in 2.38 release.

I don't understand why this is happening for you. I just got a fresh download of 2.38 (rather than using the current git pull, in case there was a difference), and on two different OS (MacOS X 10.5 and Ubuntu 11.04), these tests pass just fine. The permissions on conf/languages/* should be 444, though when the test copies it to the t directory, it copies it with 644, and that happens as expected. Perhaps it is something about your environment that is causing this to fail?
