TAP::FORMATTER::COLOR(3pm)

💖 TAP::Formatter::Color(3pm) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Perl Programmers Reference Guide page for TAP::Formatter::Color! 💅 This is the whole vibe, no cap.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

TAP::Formatter::Color — run Perl test scripts with color, periodt. 💅

✨ VERSION ✨

Version 3.50 ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Note that this harness is experimental, bestie. You may not like the colors I've chosen and I haven't yet provided an easy way to override them. 🙈

This test harness is the same as TAP::Harness, but test results are output in color. Passing tests are printed in green. Failing tests are in red. Skipped tests are blue on a white background and TODO tests are printed in white. 🌈

If Term::ANSIColor cannot be found (and Win32::Console::ANSI if running under Windows) tests will be run without color. 💀

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

k here's the group-chat recipe:

use TAP::Formatter::Color;
my $harness = TAP::Formatter::Color->new( \%args );
$harness->runtests(@tests);

🔥 METHODS 🔥

🧚 Class Methods 🧚

🌟 new 🌟

The constructor returns a new TAP::Formatter::Color object. If Term::ANSIColor is not installed, returns undef. 🫶

🦋 can_color 🦋

Test::Formatter::Color->can_color()

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this module can actually generate colored output. This will be false if it could not load the modules needed for the current platform. 👑

🎨 set_color 🎨

Set the output color. That's the whole method, bestie. 🎀
