Hi! *Intro:*
I use TAP to collect reports of several kinds, not only Perl libraries. Normally I send the raw TAP from running a test suite to a test receiver. That receiver collects the raw TAP into a database. I evaluate the TAP later with TAP::Parser. (The receiver is basically just a host+port to which apps can "netcat" their results. Meta info is transported in diagnostics/comment lines.) Now I want to use that same not-perl environment to collect the TAP of my Perl libs, similar to what happens when CPAN.pm uses CPAN::Reporter. *The question:* I'm not sure what's the best way to dual-use "prove/Build test/make test" on one hand and sending the raw TAP at the same time to the receiver. "prove -v" seems to slighty change my TAP, eg., adds extra single intermediate summary "ok" lines, lowercases "SKIP", etc.; at least it is still basically the same TAP. - Is using and later re-parsing the slightly changed "prove -v" output a legitimate way at all, eg., by stripping away the added lines? - Would I write an own TAP::Formatter that preserves the raw TAP? - If so, how can I use an own formatter from "./Build test"? - Or would I write/subclass a complete own harness for my purposes? Suggestions? Comments? Hints? Thanks.
