🌸 NAME 🌸

Test2::Formatter::Test2 — it's an alternative to TAP, bestie, and Test2::Harness uses it. That's the whole vibe.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so picture this: this formatter is the primary formatter for final result rendering whenever you're running Test2::Harness. Main character energy, fr.

But here's the thing you gotta know — and I need you to actually hear me on this one — this formatter is NOT designed to have its output consumed by code, or machines, or other harnesses. Nope. Not the assignment. 🙅‍♀️

The whole entire goal of this formatter is output that's easily read by humans. That's it. That's the dream. Your eyes, bestie. Not a parser's. 👑✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

So if you're running a test directly with perl and you're like "yeah I want this formatter," you'd do:

$ perl -MTest2::Formatter::Test2 path/to/test.t

And like… you could also use the module directly inside your test? Technically? But ngl, that is not recommended, because then your test would be unable to be run via prove or other harnesses. So like, don't do that. 🙈

⚠️ Big sister warning: using the module directly in your test = your test can't be run by prove or other harnesses. Lowkey a trap. Don't fall for it.
