# TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner(3perl)

A no-op job.

## NAME

TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner - A no-op job.

## VERSION

Version 3.52

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner;
```

## DESCRIPTION

A no-op job. Returned by `"TAP::Parser::Scheduler"` as an instruction to the harness to spin (keep executing tests) while the scheduler can't return a real job.

## METHODS

### Class Methods

*"new"*

```
    my $job = TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner->new;
```

Ignores any arguments and returns a new `"TAP::Parser::Scheduler::Spinner"` object.

### Instance Methods

*"is\_spinner"*

Returns true indicating that is a 'spinner' job. Spinners are returned when the scheduler still has pending jobs but can't (because of locking) return one right now.
