💅 Test2::Formatter::TAP(3pm) — Perl Programmers Reference Guide

🌸 NAME ✨

Test2::Formatter::TAP — Standard TAP formatter. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so bestie, this is what takes events and turns them into TAP. That's literally the whole vibe. 🦋

🎀 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 numbers on and off. 💖
  • $arrayref = $tap->handles / $tap->set_handles(\@handles); — can be used to get/set the filehandles. Indexes are identified by the OUT_STD and OUT_ERR constants. 🎀
  • $encoding = $tap->encoding / $tap->encoding($encoding) — get or set the encoding. By default no encoding is set, the original settings of STDOUT and STDERR are used.

This directly modifies the stored filehandles, it does not create new ones. 🫶

  • $tap->write($e, $num) — write an event to the console. ✨
