Test2::Harness::Util::IPC was deprecated and replaced by Test2::Harness::IPC::Util in newer versions. On cpanel-perl 5.42, the deprecated module dies at compile time, causing import.t, plugin.t, and trace.t to fail. Try the new module first, fall back to the old one.

CI Impact Note: This PR fixes a systemic CI failure affecting all 34 open PRs. The Merging this would unblock CI across the board (after rebasing the affected branches). |
On Perl 5.20 Docker images, the old Test2::Harness::Util::IPC is now a broken deprecation shim (fails to compile) and the replacement Test2::Harness::IPC::Util isn't installed. This caused t/import.t, t/plugin.t, and t/trace.t to crash with exit 255 on 5.20 (and other Perl versions as images update). Instead of dying when neither module is available, set a flag and have Test::TMF's import() plan skip_all so dependent tests are gracefully skipped rather than failing the entire test suite.

What
Fix Test::TMF test helper to handle deprecated/broken Test2::Harness IPC module gracefully.
Why
Test2::Harness::Util::IPCwas deprecated in favor ofTest2::Harness::IPC::Util. Docker images forperldocker/perl-testerhave been updated, causingt/import.t,t/plugin.t, andt/trace.tto crash (exit 255) across all Perl versions in CI. This blocks all 34 open PRs and also affects cpanel-perl builds (issue #325).On Perl 5.20 specifically, the old module exists as a broken deprecation shim and the new one isn't installed — neither can be loaded.
How
$RUN_CMD_AVAILABLE = 0instead of dyingimport()callsplan(skip_all => ...)when run_cmd is unavailable — tests skip gracefully rather than failing the buildTesting
Fixes #325.
