a little update here... it turns out that the 'use threads' line was needed for patch to succeed, after all
the 'use threads' line seems to handle a known bug where Test::Simple generates the TAP tests out of order, and causes the tests to fail
the good news is that there are some options...
1/ use the Test2::Suite module, which handles parallel tests well... https://metacpan.org/pod/Test2::Suite
the only catch here is that it's new-ish, so we'll need to backport the module to deb8/jessie too
2/ just allow the 'use threads' line. Because no threads are ever actually created, it should be pretty safe
fyi: i did try using forks.pm too, but sadly got lots of random fails
Mason, Which option has your preference ?
Marcel
hiya, i'd vote for option 1/ as quick fix, and then a separate bug for a leisurely switch to Test2::Suite anyone else have an opinion? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
