[Bioperl-l] t/protgraph errors - was t/entrezgene, t/protgraph and t/FeatureIO

[James D. White]

I recently updated to bioperl-live on Perl 5.8.5 under Solaris 9 and got 
the following:

 
Failed Test   Total Fail  Failed  List of Failed
------------------------------------------------
t/protgraph.t 66    24    36.36%  10-13 20-21 26 33 36-37 45 48-56
                                  59-60 65-66

I did notice during my first pass at installing it, that Makefile.PL
mentioned that I did not have the Clone module installed, so
Makefile.PL was skipping the testing of ProteinGraph.  (I think that
was the message.) I took care of another problem that I had and
installed the Clone module, then I got the error above.  This is an
error, not a warning and inhibits "make install" IIRC.

I briefly looked at t/protgraph.t, but I didn't know what it did,
and I did not need ProteinGraph, so to get around the error I renamed
t/protgraph.t so that "make test" did not try to run it.  Then "make
test" and "make install" worked correctly.

There was a note in t/protgraph.t around the area of tests 10-13
where someone else who did not understand the module made corrections
to get around the errors he was having.  I took that as a sign that
the errors were probably in either the module or the test and not
just my installation.

If protgraph.t does not give an error during "make test", then either
(1) it worked, or (2) it was skipped.  If you don't have Clone.pm
installed, then it was skipped.  The error summary at the end of the
output from "make test" does not list the test programs that were
skipped.  You need to check the full "make test" output to be sure.
There should be a "t/protgraph.t...........OK" message.
