list_all output has changed about archive-tar-wrapper-perl HOT 5 CLOSED

This issue is causing the test suite for Archive::Tar::Wrapper to fail on installation:

#   Failed test 'Check list'
#   at t/001Basic.t line 42.
#          got: '001Basic.t foo/bar/baz foo/bar/permtest foo/bar/string tar/001Basic.t tar/foo/bar/baz tar/foo/bar/permtest tar/foo/bar/string'
#     expected: '001Basic.t foo/bar/baz foo/bar/permtest foo/bar/string'

#   Failed test 'foo excluded'
#   at t/001Basic.t line 159.
#          got: 'tar/boo/bar/baz'
#     expected: 'boo/bar/baz'
# Looks like you planned 24 tests but ran 25.

t/001Basic.t ..... 
Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)

No @klp2 , it's a bug, not a feature. It was introduced in release 0.26, due refactorings made.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able so far to reproduce the issue on my boxes.

@oschwald , the tests aren't failing everywhere.

The current tests available are unable to detect such issue too, so besides the bugs, it is necessary to review why the tests didn't caught such thing. The bug is around list_reset() and list_next() functions, but I don't know what triggers it.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and wasn't able to reproduce the issue on it too. I'm trying right now to check on Debian Jenny to see if I can reproduce the failures.

Based on CPAN Testers Matrix most of the errors are coming from Linux, but less than half are failing. I was able to identify two tests coming from the same box, one that passed and the other that failed.

So yes, I'm in need to receive more data about that. I did some changes in the code right now to be able to fetch more information, so if any one you could git clone the repository and give it a try with:

$ perl -Ilib t/001Basic.t

Inside the repository directory, it would fetch more information that could help me understand better the issue. Don't run the tests with prove, because I'm using Log::Log4perl to generate this additional information and that will mess with the TAP output.

I believe I fixed the issue with commit 5b12efd. Please check and let me know.

The tests seem to pass on the linux hosts I checked (where they did not before), and it looks like its back to its previous behavior.

Given the results from the release 0.27, I'm closing this one.
