I'm using a simple syntax file to highlight the TAP protocol
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol). The syntax can be found
here:
http://github.com/threebytesfull/perltest/blob/master/syntax/TAPVerboseOutput.vim
There are two problems I would like to address. First, TAP is essentially a
series of "ok/not ok" lines followed by an optional sequential number:
1..5
ok 1 - this is a test
not ok 2
ok - another test # number optional, assumed as 3
ok
ok 5 # number MUST be 5 because this is fifth result
Is there anyway to highlight a syntax error if the fifth "ok/not ok" line
should have the number 5, but actually has a different number?
In a related case, we're trying to create "nested TAP". With this, you might
see the following:
1..3
ok 1
1..2
ok 1
ok 2
ok 2
ok 3
If the TAP is nested to the correct level (four spaces every time a new stream
is embedded), is should be an error. Again, is there any way for vim to be
aware of this when highlighting?
Cheers,
Ovid
