After the rebase to coreutils to v9.11, the `tests/misc/tty-eof.pl` test consistently fails on Rawhide [1]. However, the same SRPM builds fine on F44. After some digging, I've found out that the recent update of perl-IO-Tty to 1.24 (or newer) causes the failure. For some reason, the setting a custom VEOF for the pty makes the poll syscalls initiated by expect to timeout. Relevant test code: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/c62c2222f71b594b9c40f13b58d814a0354dffa6/tests/misc/tty-eof.pl#L37-L56. (Without it, the test passes but AFAIK this is not an issue with the test itself.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Build the latest release of coreutils with necessary test deps and execute the whole testsuite. Actual Results: The `tests/misc/tty-eof.pl` test fails. Expected Results: The `tests/misc/tty-eof.pl` test passes.
Please consider raising this upstream: https://github.com/cpan-authors/IO-Tty/issues
Done.
Upstream reports this to be fixed in version 1.31 (now in Rawhide). However, it still fails for me. Please test and report findings upstream.
Yes, the issue is still reproducible. Well... that happens when you let AI to do all the coding for you. Perhaps it would be better to just stick to the last "non-vibed" version in Fedora? Either way, I've reopened the upstream issue but I'm no longer that interested in seeing this fixed since the upstream of coreutils has already added a (possibly permanent?) workaround: https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/0f85d79ed60de25b7530af7bbf1a97523fbbfca2
I would like that outcome as well, but the "maintainer" (*) also maintains many other commonly used Perl packages [1]. So I imagine that will become increasingly difficult as time goes on. (*) I put maintainer in quotes, since that seems to have de facto been outsourced to an OpenClaw style bot... [1] https://mastodon.social/@thesamesam@treehouse.systems/116275397655432107
