v0.14 depends on Test::DiagINC

[stigtsp]

Hi there :)

While upgrading JavaScript::Minifier::XS in nixpkgs from v0.13 -> v0.14 I noticed that the tarball from CPAN has Test::DiagINC as a hard dependency for tests, although this is not in the cpanfile.

t/00-report-prereqs.t .. Can't locate Test/DiagINC.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Test::DiagINC module) (@INC contains: ...

That dependency on Test::DiagINC is present in Makefile.PL as well as in the META.* files (and which is unchanged from the previous v0.13 release).

Would you mind sharing how you are building/installing JavaScript::Minifier::XS, so I can get a better idea of how your system did not pull in the expected dependencies?

Woops! My apologies. A typo propagated into my system here, mistaking v0.11 for v0.13. Sorry for the disturbance. You're quite right. I've bundled Test::DiagINC with the upgrade from v0.11 -> v0.14 in nixpkgs.

Ah, gotcha. Yes... when switching to using Dist::Zilla for doing release management, Test::DiagINC was added as a test dependency.

However, if you are using cpan, cpanm, or cpm to do the install then those dependencies should be getting installed properly for you.

Happy to continue to try to help diagnose build/install problems, if you care to provide more info about how your build/install is being done.

Thanks :) I'm packaging Perl modules for the nixpkgs repository, and was doing an update of JavaScript::Minifier::XS. It's a declarative way of defining environments, worth checking out.
