TAP Consumers

TAP consumers are systems that can take TAP as an input and do something useful with it. This page contains a catalog of software libraries that can act as TAP consumers, grouped by programming language.

Languages: C, Elvish, Go, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby, and Others.

Python

• tappy is a standalone program suited for use as a viewer; just pipe your TAP source to its standard input.

POSIX shell

• tapview is another tiny standalone viewer, one portable shell file with zero dependencies, intended to be embedded in project test directories.

C

C is an imperative (procedural) language. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support.

From Wikipedia

C TAP Harness is a TAP library that implements much of the Test::More API along with some C specific test functions.

tap-parser is a TAP parser written with YACC and Lex.

tapto is a TAP parser that formats results to XML and other formats.

Elvish

elvish-tap is a TAP producer and basic consumer for Elvish.

Go

• tap13 is a TAP parser that translates input TAP into structs that can be used for further information processing.

Java

Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.

From Wikipedia

tap4j is a full featured TAP library which is integrated at the core of other Java projects like the Jenkins TAP Plugin.

JavaScript

• node-tap
• TAP parser
• tape
• Testling consumes browser test output for any browser test suite that outputs TAP to console.log.

Perl

• TAP::Parser
• Test::Harness
• Test::Run
• Smolder project background
• TapTinder
• metatap
• Tapper test infrastructure

Ruby

• ruby-tap-parser

Others

• Jenkins TAP Plugin
• Desktop notifications
• Automake 1.13+ can run TAP tests for make check, via tap-driver.sh.
• Kyua Testing framework for infrastructure software.
• Meson 0.50+ supports using TAP with its test function.
