NAME

       TAP::Formatter::Base - Base class for harness output delegates

VERSION

       Version 3.38

DESCRIPTION

       This provides console orientated output formatting for TAP::Harness.

SYNOPSIS

        use TAP::Formatter::Console;
        my $harness = TAP::Formatter::Console->new( \%args );

METHODS

   Class Methods
       "new"

        my %args = (
           verbose => 1,
        )
        my $harness = TAP::Formatter::Console->new( \%args );

       The constructor returns a new "TAP::Formatter::Console" object. If a TAP::Harness is
       created with no "formatter" a "TAP::Formatter::Console" is automatically created. If any
       of the following options were given to TAP::Harness->new they well be passed to this
       constructor which accepts an optional hashref whose allowed keys are:

       •   "verbosity"

           Set the verbosity level.

       •   "verbose"

           Printing individual test results to STDOUT.

       •   "timer"

           Append run time for each test to output. Uses Time::HiRes if available.

       •   "failures"

           Show test failures (this is a no-op if "verbose" is selected).

       •   "comments"

           Show test comments (this is a no-op if "verbose" is selected).

       •   "quiet"

           Suppressing some test output (mostly failures while tests are running).

       •   "really_quiet"

           Suppressing everything but the tests summary.

       •   "silent"

           Suppressing all output.

       •   "errors"

           If parse errors are found in the TAP output, a note of this will be made in the
           summary report.  To see all of the parse errors, set this argument to true:

             errors => 1

       •   "directives"

           If set to a true value, only test results with directives will be displayed.  This
           overrides other settings such as "verbose", "failures", or "comments".

       •   "stdout"

           A filehandle for catching standard output.

       •   "color"

           If defined specifies whether color output is desired. If "color" is not defined it
           will default to color output if color support is available on the current platform and
           output is not being redirected.

       •   "jobs"

           The number of concurrent jobs this formatter will handle.

       •   "show_count"

           Boolean value.  If false, disables the "X/Y" test count which shows up while tests are
           running.

       Any keys for which the value is "undef" will be ignored.

       "prepare"

       Called by Test::Harness before any test output is generated.

       This is an advisory and may not be called in the case where tests are being supplied to
       Test::Harness by an iterator.

       "open_test"

       Called to create a new test session. A test session looks like this:

           my $session = $formatter->open_test( $test, $parser );
           while ( defined( my $result = $parser->next ) ) {
               $session->result($result);
               exit 1 if $result->is_bailout;
           }
           $session->close_test;

       "summary"

         $harness->summary( $aggregate );

       "summary" prints the summary report after all tests are run. The first argument is an
       aggregate to summarise. An optional second argument may be set to a true value to indicate
       that the summary is being output as a result of an interrupted test run.
