tap-reader 📜

A smol, streaming TAP parser. Works well with tape.
tap-reader on npmjs.org »
Documentation soon...

Sample reporter that leverages tap-reader:

#!/usr/bin/env node
import { stdin } from 'node:process';
import TapReader from 'tap-reader'

const write = console.log
const reader = TapReader({ input: stdin });

reader.on('version', ({ version }) => {
  write('VERSION', version);
});

reader.on('pass', ({ id, desc, skip, todo }) => {
  write('PASS', id, desc, todo ? 'TODO' : skip ? 'SKIP' : '');
});

reader.on('fail', ({ id, desc, skip, todo, diag }) => {
  write('FAIL', id, desc, todo ? 'TODO' : skip ? 'SKIP' : '');
  
  for (const key in diag)
    write(`  ${key}: ${diag[key]}`);
});

reader.on('plan', ({ plan, comment, todo }) => {
  write(`plan: ${plan[0]} → ${plan[1]} ${comment || ''} ${todo ? 'TODO' :''}`);
})

reader.on('comment', ({ comment, todo, skip }) => {
  write('COMMENT', comment, todo ? 'TODO' : skip ? 'SKIP' : '');
})

reader.on('other', ({ line }) => {
  if (line.trim().length > 0) write('OTHER', line);
})

reader.on('done', ({ summary, ok }) => {
  const { total, pass, fail, skip, todo } = summary;

  write('DONE')
  write(`total: ${total}`)
  write(`pass: ${pass}`)
  write(`fail: ${fail}`)
  write(`skip: ${skip}`)
  write(`todo: ${todo}`)
  write(`OK ${ok}`)
})

reader.on('end', ({ ok }) => {
  process.exit(ok ? 0 : 1);
})

Also see examples/table-reporter.js for another example.

Coming next:

• More TAP features like subtests, +pragmas, etc.
• Documentation for config and events
• Intellisense via .d.ts

FAQ:

Why is yaml vendored?
Because the published module is large. tap-reader should install and run as quickly as possible in a CI environment.
I'm not stoked on it so this may change in the future.

Why not use tap-parser?
tap-parser is great but... see above.
