| Subject: | diag output available in data structure |
Hello there.
I played with Test::TAP::Model to generate (html/xml) reports. I noticed
that the 'diags' fields were not populated within the data structures. I
wanted to have all the precious error codes and diag info logged
somewhere... I also saw the patch to enable test script logging into a
file-handle (did not try it yet, will try tomorrow...).
Here is an observation:
I traced the issue to within Test::Harness::Straps.pm around line 294 in
the analyze_file sub (the pipe- open that reads-in a single test file
for execution). I noticed that STDERR is vented out without much attention.
Here are the questions:
I decided to modify the pipe spec to "$line 2>&1 |", merging back all
the output before analysis. Do you forsee any problem if I leave this
merged output in there ? Is there anything simpler I could have done
instead ?
In the meantime, I created a proprietary module that 'use base
Test::TAP::Model;' with a redefined 'analyze_file' method. This trick
solves my problems. I just wanted to have insight into the potential
pitfalls...
Thanks,
FX
