Test2::Formatter::TAP(3p)

Test2::Formatter::TAP3p

Standard tap formatter

Usage

    use Test2::Formatter::TAP;
    my $tap = Test2::Formatter::TAP->new();
    # Switch to utf8
    $tap->encoding('utf8');
    $tap->write($event, $number); # Output an event

Overview

This is what takes events and turns them into TAP.

Methods

$bool = $tap->no_numbers
$tap->set_no_numbers($bool)

Use to turn numbers on and off.

$arrayref = $tap->handles
$tap->set_handles(\@handles);

Can be used to get/set the filehandles. Indexes are identified by the "OUT_STD" and "OUT_ERR" constants.

$encoding = $tap->encoding
$tap->encoding($encoding)

Get or set the encoding. By default no encoding is set, the original settings of STDOUT and STDERR are used.

This directly modifies the stored filehandles, it does not create new ones.

$tap->write($e, $num)

Write an event to the console.
