TapReportParser

This gem parses a TAP report per the specifications listed on https://testanything.org/tap-specification.html. Each of the tests has six attributes: number, description, status, directive, diagnostic and passing.

• The number is test number. If the number is not present, the parser maintains its own count.
• The description is the text describing the test. If the description is not present, then its value is empty string.
• The status is represented by one of the four values: success (when test is passing), failure (when test is failing), skipped (when test is marked as skipped irrespective of success or failure), and ignore (when test is marked as todo irrespective of success or failure).
• The directive is either skipped or todo.
• The diagnostic is a YAML block or text. If it is YAML then its value is ruby Hash, otherwise string. If the diagnostic is not present, then its value is empty string.
• The value of the passing is true if test status is either passing or ignored.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tap_report_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tap_report_parser

You can parse report either from file or text, i.e.,

report = TapReportParser::Report.from_text(text)
report = TapReportParser::Report.from_file(file)

For example, consider the following TAP report:

TAP version 13
1..6
#
# Create a new Board and Tile, then place
# the Tile onto the board.
#
ok 1 - The object is a Board
ok 2 - Board size is zero
ok 3 - The object is a Tile
ok 4 - Get possible places to put the Tile
ok 5 - Placing the tile produces no error
ok 6 - Board size is 1

Parsing the report from text will return the TapReportParser::Report object, which has the following three attributes:

• test_count: The test count
• tests: Array of TapReportParser::Test objects each describing the test. Each of the test object has six attributes: number, description, status, directive, diagnostic and passing.
• passing: A boolean value which is true if all the tests are passing, i.e., the status is either success or ignored, otherwise false.
