TAP::Pa...:RawTAP(3pm)

💅 NAME 💅

Bestie, meet TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::RawTAP — the handler that streams output from raw TAP living in a scalar/array ref. This page comes from the Perl Programmers Reference Guide, and the header is out here calling it TAP::Pa...:RawTAP(3pm) (truncated-name realness, iykyk). 🦋

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

Version 3.50 — slay. ✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

Okay so here's the code vibe, bestie:

  use TAP::Parser::Source;
  use TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::RawTAP;

  my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new->raw( \"1..1\nok 1\n" );
  $source->assemble_meta;

  my $class = 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::RawTAP';
  my $vote  = $class->can_handle( $source );
  my $iter  = $class->make_iterator( $source );

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is a raw TAP output TAP::Parser::SourceHandler — it has 2 jobs:

1. Figure out if the TAP::Parser::Source it's given is raw TAP output (can_handle).
2. Creates an iterator for raw TAP output (make_iterator).

Unless you're writing a plugin or subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly — lowkey it's a behind-the-scenes icon. 💅

✨ METHODS ✨

🌟 Class Methods 🌟

💖 can_handle 💖

  my $vote = $class->can_handle( $source );

It only votes when $source is an array, or a scalar with newlines. Here's the vote lineup, no cap:

• 0.9 — if it's a scalar with '..' in it
• 0.7 — if it's a scalar with 'ok' in it
• 0.3 — if it's just a scalar with newlines
• 0.5 — if it's an array

🫶 make_iterator 🫶

  my $iterator = $class->make_iterator( $source );

Returns a new TAP::Parser::Iterator::Array for the source. Heads up: $source->raw must be an array ref, or a scalar ref. ✨

It croaks on error — dramatic but fair. 😭
