Error on OSX 14.0

[BenoitOClock]

Hey,

I'm working with Sqitch almost daily, but it suddenly stopped working. I tried reinstalling Perl, Sqitch, I have even uninstalled and reinstalled homebrew but i keep facing the same error, whatever sqitch command i try to execute

I'm on a 2019 intel MBP running Sonoma 14.0

Array found where operator expected (Do you need to predeclare "say"?) at /usr/local/Cellar/sqitch/1.4.0/libexec/../lib/perl5/App/Sqitch.pm line 566, near "say @_"
syntax error at /usr/local/Cellar/sqitch/1.4.0/libexec/../lib/perl5/App/Sqitch.pm line 566, near "say @_"

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/Cellar/sqitch/1.4.0/libexec/sqitch line 15.

How can i fix that please ?

I finally solved the issue by adding use feature qw(say); to /usr/local/Cellar/sqitch/1.4.0/lib/perl5/App/Sqitch.pm

I don't understand this issue, because this line enables say. What version of Perl are you using? The first line of /opt/homebrew/bin/sqitch should tell you, and if the path doesn't include a version, copy the path to the terminal and add --version.

I'm using 5.38.0, which is the latest, and do not have this issue. Very strange.

[BenoitOClock]

I’m on the same perl version as you are. On my side bug is reproductible. To tell you the truth before finding the fix, i tried installing a fresh sonoma on an external drive with homebrew only, to be sure it was not some conflict with another piece of software… and even then, the bug was present.

This is the Homebrew-installed Perl?

[BenoitOClock]

Yes it is

Finally getting back to this. Just upgraded Homebrew Perl to 5.38.2 and reinstalled Sqitch v1.4.0. I do not get the error:

❯ /opt/homebrew/bin/sqitch --version
sqitch (App::Sqitch) v1.4.0

The --version option causes Sqitch to call emit here, and emit uses say at line 566.

I don't understand what could be causing this. What does the sqitch command look like? Run:

cat /opt/homebrew/bin/sqitch

Also, directly under use feature 'say';, I'd add this say "Perl version is '$^V'";

Even if you think you're running the correct version of Perl, it's possible that something under the hood is dispatching to a version you're not expecting.
