[PkgEval] CauseMap may have a testing issue on Julia 0.4 (2014-10-08)

[IainNZ]

PackageEvaluator.jl is a script that runs nightly. It attempts to load all Julia packages and run their tests (if available) on both the stable version of Julia (0.3) and the nightly build of the unstable version (0.4). The results of this script are used to generate a package listing enhanced with testing results.

On Julia 0.4

• On 2014-10-05 the testing status was Tests pass.
• On 2014-10-08 the testing status changed to Package doesn't load.

Tests pass. means that PackageEvaluator found the tests for your package, executed them, and they all passed.

Package doesn't load. means that PackageEvaluator did not find tests for your package. Additionally, trying to load your package with using failed.

Special message from @IainNZ: This change may be due to breaking changes to Dict in JuliaLang/julia#8521

This issue was filed because your testing status became worse. No additional issues will be filed if your package remains in this state, and no issue will be filed if it improves. If you'd like to opt-out of these status-change messages, reply to this message saying you'd like to and @IainNZ will add an exception. If you'd like to discuss PackageEvaluator.jl please file an issue at the repository. For example, your package may be untestable on the test machine due to a dependency - an exception can be added.

Actually this is JuliaLang/julia#8607

This has been fixed in v.0.0.2
