NAME

TAP::Parser::Result - Base class for TAP::Parser output objects

VERSION

Version 3.43

SYNOPSIS

TAP::Parser::ResultFactory for preferred usage # directly: use TAP::Parser::Result; my $token = {…}; my $result = TAP::Parser::Result->new( $token );

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple base class used by TAP::Parser to store objects that represent the current bit of test output data from TAP (usually a single line). Unless you’re subclassing, you probably won’t need to use this module directly.

METHODS

new

my $result = TAP::Parser::Result->new($token);

Returns an instance the appropriate class for the test token passed in.

Boolean methods

The following methods all return a boolean value and are to be overridden in the appropriate subclass.

  • is_plan Indicates whether or not this is the test plan line. 1..3
  • is_pragma Indicates whether or not this is a pragma line. pragma +strict
  • is_test Indicates whether or not this is a test line. ok 1 Is OK!
  • is_comment Indicates whether or not this is a comment. # this is a comment
  • is_bailout Indicates whether or not this is bailout line. Bail out! Were out of dilithium crystals.
  • is_version Indicates whether or not this is a TAP version line. TAP version 4
  • is_unknown Indicates whether or not the current line could be parsed. … this line is junk …
  • is_yaml Indicates whether or not this is a YAML chunk.

raw

print $result->raw;

Returns the original line of text which was parsed.

type

my $type = $result->type;

Returns the type of a token, such as comment or test.

as_string

print $result->as_string;

Prints a string representation of the token. This might not be the exact output, however. Tests will have test numbers added if not present, TODO and SKIP directives will be capitalized and, in general, things will be cleaned up. If you need the original text for the token, see the raw method.

is_ok

if ( $result->is_ok ) { … }

Reports whether or not a given result has passed. Anything which is not a test result returns true. This is merely provided as a convenient shortcut.

passed

Deprecated. Please use is_ok instead.

has_directive

if ( $result->has_directive ) { … }

Indicates whether or not the given result has a TODO or SKIP directive.

has_todo

if ( $result->has_todo ) { … }

Indicates whether or not the given result has a TODO directive.

has_skip

if ( $result->has_skip ) { … }

Indicates whether or not the given result has a SKIP directive.

set_directive

Set the directive associated with this token. Used internally to fake TODO tests.

SUBCLASSING

Please see SUBCLASSING in TAP::Parser for a subclassing overview.

Remember: if you want your subclass to be automatically used by the parser, you’ll have to register it with register_type in TAP::Parser::ResultFactory.

If you’re creating a completely new result type, you’ll probably need to subclass TAP::Parser::Grammar too, or else it’ll never get used.

Example

package MyResult; use strict; use base TAP::Parser::Result; # register with the factory: TAP::Parser::ResultFactory->register_type( my_type => _ PACKAGE _ ); sub as_string { My results all look the same }
