Bug#509457: [BUG] mod_perl2 test failures (when building Debian package)

Mon Dec 22 16:47:18 UTC 2008

Hi,

I am a member of the Debian pkg-perl group [1]. I stumbled upon a test
failure when rebuilding - For further information on my build
environment, please refer to the bug report in the Debian BTS [2].

The test failure appears on hooks/authz.t:

    Test Summary Report
    -------------------
    t/hooks/authz                       (Wstat: 0 Tests: 4 Failed: 1)
    Failed test:  4

As per the instructions on the modperl website, I ran (snipping out
the repetitive lines that I don't think convey any extra information):

    $ make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 TEST_FILES="hooks/authz.t"
    (...)

    make: *** [run_tests] Error 1

This test attempts to:

    ok ! GET_OK $location;

Fail to get the requested resource with no authorization information

    my $rc = GET_RC $location;
    ok $rc == 401;

Ensure the failure is due to lack of authorization

    ok GET_OK $location, username => 'dougm', password => 'foo';

Ensure that, given the proper authorization credentials, the request
succeeds.

    ok ! GET_OK $location, username => 'jobbob', password => 'whatever';

Ensure that, without a wrong authorization, the request fails

Now, this last step is the one failing - For some reason, I get this
in my logs/error_log:

    127.0.0.1 - - [22/Dec/2008:10:34:54 -0600] "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0" 200 873

    127.0.0.1 - - [22/Dec/2008:10:34:54 -0600] "GET /TestHooks__authz HTTP/1.0" 401 534
    127.0.0.1 - - [22/Dec/2008:10:34:54 -0600] "GET /TestHooks__authz HTTP/1.0" 401 534
    127.0.0.1 - dougm [22/Dec/2008:10:34:54 -0600] "GET /TestHooks__authz HTTP/1.0" 200 217
    127.0.0.1 - dougm [22/Dec/2008:10:34:54 -0600] "GET /TestHooks__authz HTTP/1.0" 200 217

This is, either the test sends again the original authorization
information, or the server fails to forget it and process the new one.

Thank you for any insight.

Oh! I am not subscribed to the list, and I'm not the sole maintainer
for this package in Debian - please include the bug report's mail
address (509457 at bugs.debian.org) in any replies.
