## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

This module is a subclass of Test::TAP::Model::File that provides some methods that ease display.

It also inherits from Test::TAP::Model::Colorful, which provides additional methods.

## METHODS

  An overridden version of "cases" in Test::TAP::Model::File which will return a single stub case if the case list is actually empty.

- str\_status

  A string, "OK" or "FAILED"

- link

  Just the name of the test. Should be overridden to contain a proper path.

- case\_rows

  The test's test cases, split into rows close to 50 elements in size.

  The structure returned is:

  ```
          [ { cases => [ case, case, ... ] }, { cases => [ ... ] }, ... ];
  ```

- subtest\_class

  This method overrides "subtest\_class" in Test::TAP::Model::File to return Test::TAP::Model::Subtest::Visual.

- desc\_string ?$new\_value

  A short descriptive string used to distinguish this file from others in the various report views.
