Maybe I'm missing something (and if so, please point out the
obvious to me) but I can't find a way for a single TAP file to
contain results from multiple test files.
There isn’t one. There was recently discussion about this, with
mixed opinions about whether it’s needed and what it might look
like. One of the suggestions was that it has overlap with the
grouping/nesting proposals that keep re-appearing.
It's definitely a valuable idea and it's entirely consistent with the
notion that TAP is a streaming protocol. We should be able to stream
a complete test run without any out-of-band communication about where
one file stops and another starts.
The overlap with the grouping/nesting proposals is that once you can
split a TAP stream into top level chunks why not allow nested chunks?
I like that idea too. It means that you can always wrap a TAP stream
in BEGIN/END [1] even if it's already chunked.
[1] Or whatever.
