Test2::...ter::TAP(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Test2::Formatter::TAP — Standard TAP formatter. Okay bestie, welcome to the Test2::Formatter::TAP(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation. It's literally the standard TAP formatter, no cap. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This is what takes events and turns them into TAP. That's the whole vibe: events in, TAP out. It's lowkey iconic. 🎀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here's the starter pack, bestie — copy it exactly:

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. Simple as that, bestie.

🦋 $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. iykyk

🌈 $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.

Heads up, bestie: this directly modifies the stored filehandles, it does not create new ones. No new filehandles are born here.

⭐ $tap->write($e, $num) ⭐

Write an event to the console. That's it, that's the method.
