TAP::P...ailout(3perl)

💖 NAME 💖

TAP::Parser::Result::Bailout — the Bailout result token, bestie. It's the token that shows up when everything goes absolutely sideways and the test suite just... gives up. 🫠

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 3.52

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so, this is a subclass of TAP::Parser::Result. A token of this class gets returned if a bail out line is encountered. That's it, that's the whole vibe.

Like, watch this iconic little tragedy unfold:

1..5
ok 1 - woo hooo!
Bail out! Well, so much for "woo hooo!"

One test passed, everybody was celebrating, and then boom — bail out. Not me getting emotionally attached to a test suite 💀

👑 OVERRIDDEN METHODS 👑

Mainly listed here to shut up the pitiful screams of the pod coverage tests. They keep me awake at night. (Their words. Not mine. Well. Kind of mine now.)

• as_string — yes bestie, it's overridden, it's here, it's in the list, we move.

🎀 Instance Methods 🎀

• explanation

if ( $result->is_bailout ) {
    my $explanation = $result->explanation;
    print "We bailed out because ($explanation)";
}

If, and only if, a token is a bailout token, you can get an explanation via this method. The explanation is the text after the mystical Bail out! words which appear in the tap output. ✨

So fr fr: check is_bailout first, or don't come crying to me when it doesn't do the thing. 🙈
