Re^4: Failed to find share dir for dist 'Dancer2'

Whoa!It is working :)! Thank you very much!

I'm quite surprised nobody has reported this yet: maybe all the devs have already a Dancer2 distro installed in their path :O ?

The only thing I could still notice is that (even in templates) this function keeps returning '0.000000_000' which is probably un-related to the File::ShareDir issue though !?

maybe all the devs have already a Dancer2 distro installed in their path :O ? I'm pretty sure that's the case ;-) The version issue is probably because the $VERSION gets written into the modules only when the dist is built. Some Dist::Zilla plugin writes `$Dancer2::VERSION = ...` into Dancer.pm. Can't see which plugin from looking at the dist.ini, though.	[reply] [d/l]

Actually I see `sub VERSION { shift->SUPER::VERSION(@_) \|\| '0.000000_000' }` inside the "main" Dancer2.pm module, but I don't see any inheritance set-up: maybe there's some trickery going on inside the `sub import()` ? What sub is `SUPER::VERSION` referring to ??	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`SUPER::VERSION()` will call `UNIVERSAL::VERSION()`, which, in turn, will return the content of the `$VERSION` variable. But this variable will only be set in the distributed package via Dist::Zilla.
