✨ NAME ✨

Test2::Formatter::TAP — the Standard TAP formatter, bestie 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is the thing that takes your events and turns them into TAP. That's it. That's the whole job. It's giving translator, it's giving glow-up for your test output. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Test2::Formatter::TAP;
my $tap = Test2::Formatter::TAP->new();

# Switch to utf8
$tap->encoding('utf8');

$tap->write($event, $number); # Output an event

💖 METHODS 💖

  • $bool = $tap->no_numbers
  • $tap->set_no_numbers($bool)

Use this to turn the numbers on and off. Little toggle moment, we love a switch. 🎚️

  • $arrayref = $tap->handles
  • $tap->set_handles(\@handles);

Can be used to get/set the filehandles. The indexes are identified by the OUT_STD and OUT_ERR constants — so like, if you're lost, those constants are your map. 🗺️

  • $encoding = $tap->encoding
  • $tap->encoding($encoding)

Get or set the encoding. By default no encoding is set, and the original settings of STDOUT and STDERR are used.

Heads up bestie: this directly modifies the stored filehandles. It does not create new ones. No new filehandles were harmed in the making of this encoding. 💀
  • $tap->write($e, $num)

Write an event to the console. Slay. 👑
