## RSpec TAP Formatters

**RSpec TAP Formatters** produces [TAP 13](https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html)
output with a proper nested display of example groups and includes stats for the total
number of passed, failed, and pending tests per example group.

## Why use TAP Formatter

With TAP format, it is easier to view failure reason immediately without waiting
for the failure dumps at the end. Also, TAP is a universal format, so one can:
- Leverage other tools to parse the output.
- Mix in different types of tests with consistent output.

## Formatters Behavior

**RSpec TAP Formatters** supports four variants:
1. `RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Default`
2. `RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Compact`
3. `RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Flat`
4. `RSpec::TAP::Formatters::FlatCompact`

Each formatter respects the color configuration for the execution and only
prints colored output when enabled. However, writing to a file will never use
colors. When writing the report to a file, each formatter will print progress status
on the standard output:
- `.` for passing
- `F` for failing
- `*` for pending

## Sample Report

Sample report for [string_spec.rb](resources/string_spec.rb) using
`RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Default` format:
```text
TAP version 13
# test: String {
# group: #present? {
# group: when whitespaces and other characters {
ok 1 - returns true
1..1
# tests: 1, passed: 1
}
# group: when nil {
not ok 1 - returns false
---
location: "./resources/string_spec.rb:8"
error: |-
Failure/Error: expect(string.present?).to eq(false)
NoMethodError:
undefined method `present?' for nil:NilClass
backtrace: "./resources/string_spec.rb:9:in `block (4 levels) in '"
...
1..1
# tests: 1, failed: 1
}
# group: when whitespaces only {
ok 1 - returns false
1..1
# tests: 1, passed: 1
}
1..3
# tests: 3, passed: 2, failed: 1
}
1..3
# tests: 3, passed: 2, failed: 1
}
1..3
# tests: 3, passed: 2, failed: 1
# duration: 0.026471 seconds
# seed: 27428
```

You can check the reports for other formats [here](resources/reports).

## Installation

Installation is pretty standard:
```sh
gem install rspec-tap-formatters
```

You can install using `bundler` also but do not require it in `Gemfile`.
Make sure to use it as a test dependency:
```ruby
group :test do
# other gems
gem 'rspec-tap-formatters', '~> 0.1.0', require: false
end
```

You can also install using the GitHub package registry:
```ruby
source 'https://rubygems.pkg.github.com/avmnu-sng' do
gem 'rspec-tap-formatters', '~> 0.1.0', require: false
end
```

## Usage

You can specify the format as the command argument:
```sh
rspec --format RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Default
```

To write to file, provide the `--out` argument:
```sh
rspec --format RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Default --out report.tap
```

You can also configure the `.rspec` file:
```sh
# other configurations
--format RSpec::TAP::Formatters::Default
--out report.tap
```
