NAME

TAP::Formatter::Console - Harness output delegate for default console output

VERSION

Version 3.10

DESCRIPTION

This provides console orientated output formatting for TAP::Harness.

SYNOPSIS

 use TAP::Formatter::Console;
 my $harness = TAP::Formatter::Console->new( \%args );

METHODS

Class Methods

new

 my %args = (
    verbose => 1,
 )
 my $harness = TAP::Formatter::Console->new( \%args );

The constructor returns a new TAP::Formatter::Console object. If a the TAP::Harness manpage is created with no formatter a TAP::Formatter::Console is automatically created. If any of the following options were given to TAP::Harness->new they well be passed to this constructor which accepts an optional hashref whose allowed keys are:

• verbosity
  
Set the verbosity level.
• verbose
  
Printing individual test results to STDOUT.
• timer
  
Append run time for each test to output. Uses the Time::HiRes manpage if available.
• failures
  
Only show test failures (this is a no-op if verbose is selected).
• quiet
  
Suppressing some test output (mostly failures while tests are running).
• really_quiet
  
Suppressing everything but the tests summary.
• silent
  
Suppressing all output.
• errors
  
If parse errors are found in the TAP output, a note of this will be made in the summary report. To see all of the parse errors, set this argument to true:

  errors => 1

• directives
  
If set to a true value, only test results with directives will be displayed. This overrides other settings such as verbose or failures.
• stdout
  
A filehandle for catching standard output.
• color
  
If defined specifies whether color output is desired. If color is not defined it will default to color output if color support is available on the current platform and output is not being redirected.
• jobs
  
The number of concurrent jobs this formatter will handle.

Any keys for which the value is undef will be ignored.

prepare

Called by Test::Harness before any test output is generated.

open_test

Called to create a new test session. A test session looks like this:

    my $session = $formatter->open_test( $test, $parser );
    while ( defined( my $result = $parser->next ) ) {
        $session->result($result);
        exit 1 if $result->is_bailout;
    }
    $session->close_test;

summary

  $harness->summary( $aggregate );

summary prints the summary report after all tests are run. The argument is an aggregate.
