build issues on clean 5.26.3 installation

[djerius]

Installation of Term::Table 0.022 fails on a clean 5.26.3 because (I think) it requires a newer version of Test2::Tools::Tiny.

Here's a minimally edited log (using plenv to create the clean install)

% plenv install --as 5.26-base -j 4 5.26.3
[...]

% plenv shell 5.26-base
% plenv which perl
/home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.26-base/bin/perl

% perl -v

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 3 (v5.26.3) built for x86_64-linux
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
[...]

% perldoc -l Test2::Tools::Tiny
/home/dj/.plenv/versions/5.26-base/lib/perl5/5.26.3/Test2/Tools/Tiny.pm

% perl -MTest2::Tools::Tiny -E 'say Test2::Tools::Tiny->VERSION'

% wget -q https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/E/EX/EXODIST/Term-Table-0.022.tar.gz
% tar xf Term-Table-0.022.tar.gz 
% cd Term-Table-0.022/

No TAP output.

Try installing the latest Test2::Tools::Tiny:

The first attempt fails because Test::Simple depends on Term::Table, which fails to install (same error as above, of course)

Rerun the tests using the new Test2::Tools::Tiny without the new Term::Table (doesn't make a difference, but just in case)

% rm -rf local/lib/perl5/Term/Table.pm
% perl -Ilib -Ilocal/lib/perl5 t/honor_env_in_non_tty.t
# Using Test2::Tools::Tiny
ok 1 - STDOUT is not a term

ok 5 - Used the size in the env var

Thanks for the report. I will fix it when I have a moment, or will gladly merge a PR to fix it if you beat me to it.

I've come up with a patch; am in the midst of putting it together.
