[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SSH2 and libssh2-0.17: Tests fail

[Heiko J. <ja...@hb...>]

Hi David,
hi folks.

Just tried to install Net::SSH2 (0.10 from CPAN) on my Solaris 10 /
SPARC 64 box with libssh2-0.17 installed.
Compiling went fine, "make test" not.

Found http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28722 and applied the
patch from Roland Lammel which seemed to make the test suite succeed.
But then I saw that numerous tests weren't executed. I then edited the
test script and provided host, username and password to activate
theother tests.

That gave me:

~/.cpan/build/Net-SSH2-0.10> make test
PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /digibib/tools/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t

make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255

The scalar $sftp (initialized as $ssh2->sftp()) in line 112 is actually
undefined.

The simple sftp examples provided by libssh2-0.17 do work with the same
credentials, so I suppose this is a problem related to the refactoring
of libssh2 after the release of Net::SSH2 0.10 with Net::SSH2 no longer
working corretly (at least concerning SFTP).

Would be great if someone could analyse and fix this ;-)
