absence of perl should fail the build

[gdogaru]

Mysql fails to start with the last version.

1. as is it does not create the data folder in mysql-data (data folder in configuration)
2. If I manually create the folder I get: Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist

So, previous version (which one?) works fine?

The version I managed to get working was 0.6.1. but that worked only randomly, haven't figured out why. The database was getting shut down after start, but the step was considered successful and the tests started to run, and then began to fail because the db was shutting down.

It seems I misread the documentation. I needed to install perl.
Now with perl installed I get another error. Also, could you fail the build if the perl script does not run successful, or if the connection to db fails ? Now there is an error message logged but the build continues.

Below is the error log. I use version 0.8.1, windows 8, mysql.classifier=windows-amd64

@gdogaru good point about perl, we definitely need to fix that. I'll take a look at it soon!

[gdogaru]

any ideas about the error I get?

[yegor256]

oops, I thought the problem is solved already.. let's leave this ticket alone - it is about Perl. please, create a new one, with a full explanation of the problem and your pom.xml. I'll try to reproduce it and fix

I'll find a developer for the task soon...
