I've incidentally played with subtests yesterdays, when porting
src/interfaces/libpq/test/regress.pl to a tap test. Unfortunately it seems
that subtests aren't actually specified in the tap format, and that different
libraries generate different output formats. The reason this matters somewhat
is that meson's testrunner can parse tap and give nicer progress / error
reports. But since subtests aren't in the spec it can't currently parse
them...
Ok that's good to know. What exactly happens when it tries to parse
them? Does it not count them or does it fail somehow? The way the
output is structured
t/001_basic.pl ..
# Subtest: vacuumlo --help
ok 1 - exit code 0
ok 2 - goes to stdout
ok 3 - nothing to stderr
1..3
ok 1 - vacuumlo --help
it appears that it should be able to parse it nonetheless and should
just count the non-indented lines.
