Hi all,
Mostly an FYI: I'm in Oslo right now and we're working out (and
implementing) new features in TAP. One of them is the new YAML
diagnostics. They look like this (these aren't all we support):
not ok 2 We ain't got foobar!
---
file: t/something.t
line: 14
tags:
- unit
- db
results:
have: ~
want: foobar
...
Again, this is is sample and incomplete (and optionally available on
successful tests).
Currently you can shove anything in there you want, but you must use
upper-case keys for your personal use and all lower-case keys are
reserved (and it's a parse error to use an unknown lower-case key).
Are there any strange Unicode issues where we might get confused about
what is upper and lower case?)
For the curious: tags may be anything you want. There are no
constraints, but the parser will be able to return results by tags. We
may very well allow a "tag constrained" test run which will still run
all tests, but only report results per tag. Lots of possibilities here
and we're just barely beginning to appreciate the benefits.
We're implementing this at a low-level right now, but we don't yet have
an exposed API.
Cheers,
Ovid
