NAME

TAP::Formatter::Diffable - Diff friendly (ie sorted) TAP output.

SYNOPSIS

  prove -j5 --formatter=TAP::Formatter::Diffable t

DESCRIPTION

Delays TAP output until the entire test suite has completed.

Sorts test output by test filename. This way tests alway display in the same order, even when processing in parallel.

Skips over passing tests, unless they are marked as TODO. These are skipped to make the diff easier to matchup when test numbers change slightly.

Sorts the final "Test Results"

Example Pass

 All tests successful.
 Files=1, Tests=1,
 Result: PASS

Example Fail

 Failed test 'Example failred test'
 #   at t/00-load.t line 6.
 # Looks like you planned 1 test but ran 2.
 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 2 run.
