tap-extras v0.0.1

tap-extras

A small wrapper module for tap-parser that adds extra lines to the parsed TAP output.

Usage

Use this module just like you would use tap-parser:

var parser = require('tap-extras');
var p = parser(function (results) {
    console.dir(results);
});

process.stdin.pipe(p);

This might give you output like the following. The only difference from tap-parser's outputs is that each assertion will have an "extra" attribute. This will point to any extra lines emitted by your tests (TAP comments, stack traces, or any other diagnostic information):

{ ok: true,
  asserts:
   [ { ok: true, number: 1, name: 'should be equal', extra: ''},
     { ok: true, number: 2, name: 'should be equivalent' , extra: ''},
     { ok: false, number: 3, name: 'should be equal' , extra: '   ---\n    $extra_test_context\n   ...'},
     { ok: true, number: 4, name: '(unnamed assert)', extra: ''} ],
  pass: 
   [ { ok: true, number: 1, name: 'should be equal', extra: '' },
     { ok: true, number: 2, name: 'should be equivalent', extra: '' },
     { ok: true, number: 4, name: '(unnamed assert)', extra: '' } ],
  fail: [
     { ok: false, number: 3, name: 'should be equal' , extra: '   ---\n    $extra_test_context\n   ...'},
  ],
  todo: [],
  errors: [],
  plan: { start: 1, end: 4 } }

Background

This feature was suggested for integration into the tap-parser module. Since it wasn't accepted, it lives on in this wrapper module instead.
