Hi!
Somewhat related to Andy Lesters problem some days ago about the TAP
of "prove --verbose" should not be touched.
Is it possible to make the output "idempotent", i.e., that I can take
the output of "prove --verbose" and parse it again with same results?
In particular the finally added "ok" line should not be printed, or
only with --normalize.
Example session:
***
$ prove -vml t/00-load.t > xyz.tap
***
$ cat xyz.tap # We can see Result: PASS
t/00-load.t ..
1..1
ok 1 - use Data::DPath;
# Testing Data::DPath 0.09, Perl 5.010000, /2home/ss5/perl510/bin/perl
ok # <----------- BAD! -------------------
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr 0.01 sys + 0.85 cusr 0.09
csys = 1.00 CPU)
Result: PASS
***
$ prove -vml --exec cat xyz.tap # Now bad plan, Result: FAIL
xyz.tap ..
t/00-load.t ..
1..1
ok 1 - use Data::DPath;
# Testing Data::DPath 0.09, Perl 5.010000, /2home/ss5/perl510/bin/perl
ok 2
All tests successful.
Files=1, Tests=1, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr 0.01 sys + 0.85 cusr 0.09
csys = 1.00 CPU)
Result: PASS
All 1 subtests passed
Test Summary Report
-------------------
xyz.tap (Wstat: 0 Tests: 2 Failed: 1)
Failed test: 2
Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 1 tests but ran 2.
Files=1, Tests=2, 0 wallclock secs ( 0.03 usr + 0.00 sys = 0.03 CPU)
Result: FAIL
***
Skipping the "ok" line lets it PASS again and again.
I need it when I archive TAP output and re-evaluate it later.
Thanks for listening.
Kind regards,
Steffen
