Parrot::Test "language_output_is" fails in installed parrot.

Description

In  partcl, any of the perl based tests are failing:

$ prove t/cmd_cd.t
[17:47:47] t/cmd_cd.t .. 1/3
#   Failed test 'cd too many args'
#   at t/cmd_cd.t line 17.
#          got: ''
#     expected: 'wrong # args: should be "cd ?dirName?"
# '
# '/usr/local/lib/parrot/1.2.0/tools/parrot  ........../tcl.pbc t/cmd_cd_1.tcl' failed with exit code -1

Looks like the path to parrot is wrong (This is on feather), and the path to tcl.pbc is wrong, assuming those ...'s are literal.

  • keywords tcl blocker removed
  • lang tcl deleted

Are any language authors blocking on trying to use these testing methods? Should we just not install them or remove them entirely?

(partcl doesn't need them anymore)

I haven't heard anyone speaking up for these testing methods; I vote for removing them

From perldoc lib/Parrot/Test.pm:

    "language_output_is($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
    "language_error_output_is($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
        Runs a language test and passes the test if a string
        comparison of the output with the expected result is
        true. For "language_error_output_is()", the exit
        code also has to be non-zero.

    "language_output_like($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
    "language_error_output_like($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
        Runs a language test and passes the test if the
        output matches the expected result. For
        "language_error_output_like()", the exit code also
        has to be non-zero.

    "language_output_isnt($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
    "language_error_output_isnt($language, $code, $expected,
    $description)"
        Runs a language test and passes the test if a string
        comparison of the output with the unexpected result
        is false. For "language_error_output_isnt()", the
        exit code also has to be non-zero.

Are those the functions we were considering removing from this module? Do we still want to do that?

Thank you very much.
