.SH "NAME"
TAP::Formatter::Base \- Base class for harness output delegates
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
Version 3.21
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This provides console orientated output formatting for TAP::Harness.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 2

The constructor returns a new \f(CW\*(C`TAP::Formatter::Console\*(C'\fR object. If
a TAP::Harness is created with no \f(CW\*(C`formatter\*(C'\fR a
\&\f(CW\*(C`TAP::Formatter::Console\*(C'\fR 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:
.ie n .IP "* ""verbosity""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWverbosity\fR" 4
.IX Item "verbosity"
Set the verbosity level.
.ie n .IP "* ""verbose""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWverbose\fR" 4
.IX Item "verbose"
Printing individual test results to \s-1STDOUT\s0.
.ie n .IP "* ""timer""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWtimer\fR" 4
.IX Item "timer"
Append run time for each test to output. Uses Time::HiRes if available.
.ie n .IP "* ""failures""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWfailures\fR" 4
.IX Item "failures"
Show test failures (this is a no-op if \f(CW\*(C`verbose\*(C'\fR is selected).
.ie n .IP "* ""comments""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWcomments\fR" 4
.IX Item "comments"
Show test comments (this is a no-op if \f(CW\*(C`verbose\*(C'\fR is selected).
.ie n .IP "* ""quiet""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWquiet\fR" 4
.IX Item "quiet"
Suppressing some test output (mostly failures while tests are running).
.ie n .IP "* ""really_quiet""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWreally_quiet\fR" 4
.IX Item "really_quiet"
Suppressing everything but the tests summary.
.ie n .IP "* ""silent""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWsilent\fR" 4
.IX Item "silent"
Suppressing all output.
.ie n .IP "* ""errors""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWerrors\fR" 4
.IX Item "errors"
If parse errors are found in the \s-1TAP\s0 output, a note of this will be made
in the summary report.  To see all of the parse errors, set this argument to
true:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&  errors => 1
.Ve
.ie n .IP "* ""directives""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWdirectives\fR" 4
.IX Item "directives"
If set to a true value, only test results with directives will be displayed.
This overrides other settings such as \f(CW\*(C`verbose\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`failures\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`comments\*(C'\fR.
.ie n .IP "* ""stdout""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWstdout\fR" 4
.IX Item "stdout"
A filehandle for catching standard output.
.ie n .IP "* ""color""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWcolor\fR" 4
.IX Item "color"
If defined specifies whether color output is desired. If \f(CW\*(C`color\*(C'\fR is not
defined it will default to color output if color support is available on
the current platform and output is not being redirected.
.ie n .IP "* ""jobs""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWjobs\fR" 4
.IX Item "jobs"
The number of concurrent jobs this formatter will handle.
.ie n .IP "* ""show_count""" 4
.el .IP "* \f(CWshow_count\fR" 4
.IX Item "show_count"
Boolean value.  If false, disables the \f(CW\*(C`X/Y\*(C'\fR test count which shows up while
tests are running.
.PP
Any keys for which the value is \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR will be ignored.
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`prepare\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "prepare"
.PP
Called by Test::Harness before any test output is generated. 
.PP
This is an advisory and may not be called in the case where tests are
being supplied to Test::Harness by an iterator.
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`open_test\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "open_test"
.PP
Called to create a new test session. A test session looks like this:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&    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;
.Ve
.PP
\fI\f(CI\*(C`summary\*(C'\fI\fR
.IX Subsection "summary"
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $harness->summary( $aggregate );
.Ve
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`summary\*(C'\fR prints the summary report after all tests are run.  The argument is
an aggregate.
