Introduce ad hoc requirements and add skip_without method to optdeps
On rare occasions tests need a specific module version, but nothing else in
the dist needs this. Additionally only parts of a test may rely on this extra
requirement, making the "all or nothing" approach of -skip_all_without not
very attractive.
Hence introducing ability to supply arbitrary module specifications in lieu of
group names. Each specification is checked against a special group 'test_adhoc'
which ensures that optional deps are not "forgotten" within the suite (causing
a test to never run in practice).
Peter Rabbitson [Tue, 10 Feb 2015 08:38:51 +0000]
Finally implement compound OptDep group augmentation
A group can specify not only what it requires (with includes), but can also
request a specific set of modules IFF another group is required within the
same call. This allows to do e.g. IC::DT+RDBMS dependencies in a sane manner.
Delete test_dt* groups from our optdeps (they were never documented, and a
cpangrep does not show any use) - instead we replace them with an elaborate
network of augments.
Peter Rabbitson [Fri, 6 Feb 2015 11:37:29 +0000]
Rewrite internals of the optdep include mechanism (introduced in
e163f484b)
No functional changes, "simply" moves the include-parsing logic and the env

Move the SQLite test dependency specification to optdeps
Even though this is a hard test_requires (for now), move things to a proper
specification within OptDeps like all other RDBMS (will make icdt specs
much easier).
The OptDep module is very lightweight anyway, and loading it on all installs
will be a good exercise before spinning it off.

Fix overspecified msaccess test optdep (should not include icdt)

within the actual tests

Peter Rabbitson [Fri, 17 Oct 2014 09:35:46 +0000]
Add import-time-skip support to OptDeps, switch most tests over to that
This is the meat of this refactor, inspired by multiple parties complaining
(with good reason) about the sluggishness of our skip_all()s, and by groundwork
in both
c8dc7d333 and 2c2bc4e5 (both never applied - the former is superseded
by a more direct approach and the latter being too intrusive with too little
benefit after the refactor)
Only tests with unambiguous skips were switched over - later commits will
address multi-rdbms loops in a different manner.
The loss of skip-time warnings "this test creates tables blah and blah" was
deliberate, and due to several reasons
*) They are displayed at the wrong time
*) They are not well sycnrhonized with what the actual test does
*) Some time this year all table names will switch to dbictest_-prefixing
All in all the thinking is that nothing of value is lost, and the changeset
is greatly simplified as a result.
The loading before strict/warning in tests is actually significant. It appears
that in "all deps fail" cases the speedup of not loading strictures is quite
significant (demonstrated below difference on WiP CDBICompat streamlining):
strictures first:
Files=43, Tests=0, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.14 usr 0.08 sys + 0.35 cusr 0.15 csys = 0.72 CPU)
optdeps first:
Files=43, Tests=0, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.13 usr 0.06 sys + 0.14 cusr 0.11 csys = 0.44 CPU)

Fix intermittent failures in the LeakTracer on 5.18+, remove all workarounds
ARGH! In the end the issue turned out to be stupid-simple: when PadWalker is
called it always returns us a hashref. This hashref is traversed, with its
own address recorded as seen. Once processed, the hashref itself is GCed,
leaving a stale entry in $seen_refs.
Up until 5.18 this was not a problem, likely due to no address reuse. However
after 5.18 PadWalker is very happy to return different hashrefs under the same
address over and over again. The $seen_refs entry leads to a skip, and the
actual contents of the pad are never examined - we've seen this hash already.
ARGH!
The decisive change is the single line around PadWalker - everything else is
cleanup of workarounds for this problem.

Fix Postgres test hang with DBD::Pg 3.5.0+ (work around RT#100648)
It is not 100% clear to me why this is happening, as the change discussed[1]
was not supposed to change behaviour outside of a transaction.
The test in question essentially does a blocking request with a timeout. The
way the default DBIC machinery works is to issue a ping() after the timeout
induced exception, in order to opossibly retry the operation IFF the link
went stale ($dbh thinks everything is in order, the RDBMS believes otherwise).
After the changes in 3.5.0 this ping() now hangs, even though the access
pattern did not change (there are no transactions involved on the handle in
question). Either way, the fix is simple: just shim-away the ping for the
duration of the test.
In general this should be resolved on a higher level by disabling retries for
the duration of the test (or maybe even disabling retries by default in the
distant feature - see RT#47005)

is still dual-licensed like perl5, just as it was before this commit. All
additions are for clarifying purposes only.
The way licensing is presented is an amalgamation of information and
prior art found at the following sources:
- http://www.perlfoundation.org/cpan_licensing_guidelines
- https://metacpan.org/source/ETHER/Moose-2.1212/LICENSE
- `git log --color -w -p v5.20.0 ^perl-5.000^ -- Artistic`

Deal with authorship properly, in a future-sustainable fashion
This module is arguably one of the most successful collaborative projects on
CPAN. Make it known to the world by introducing a clear canonical source of
authorship metadata.
I have been holding off jumping on the "contributors from git" bandwagon
because of multiple issues
- Not every contribution results in a direct, attributtable commit
- We already had an extensive contributor list, much larger than the shortlog
- Loss of ircnicks (a fine tradition started in
266bdcc3)
So this commit does the proverbial bullet-biting and introduces *proper*
handling of all the ins and outs, including author-mode (CI as well) tests
for proper attribution. As a side-effect we break a lot of the footer links,
to be fixed in next commit.
Btw as I write this `195 contributors made this library what it is today`...
Mind. Blown.
