TAP::PARSER::SCHEDULER::SPINNER(3perl)

💖 TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the 3perl section of the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and buckle up because today we're talking about the most unserious little guy in the whole scheduler family: TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner, aka A no-op job. 🌀✨

Version: 3.52 — yes queen, she's got a version number and she's proud of it.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner;

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you load her and she just... exists. iconic behavior honestly. 💅

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like. imagine a job that does absolutely nothing. that's her. that's the girl. 🎀

She's a no-op job — returned by "TAP::Parser::Scheduler" as an instruction to the harness to spin (aka keep executing tests 🔥) while the scheduler can't return a real job.

it's giving "hold on bestie, we're not done yet, keep going, don't stop" energy. she's the placeholder with main character energy. no cap. 🦋

🧚 METHODS 🧚

💜 Class Methods 💜

• "new"

my $job = TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner->new;

She ignores any arguments — every single one, no notes, no questions — and returns a new "TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner" object. that's the whole method. she's not nosy, she's not curious, she just spawns and dips. periodt. 💖

---

🌈 Instance Methods 🌈

• "is_spinner"

Returns true, indicating that is a 'spinner' job. 💀🙈

and like, when do you get a spinner? spinners are returned when the scheduler still has pending jobs but can't (because of locking) return one right now. so the scheduler's basically like "i have work for you but my hands are tied rn, here's a vibe instead, keep the party going." 🔒✨ slay.

iykyk. 🫶
