Test results currently look something like this:
t/foo.t................. ok
t/bar.t................. ok
t/baz.t................. 23/?
# Failed test at t/baz.t line 9
# Looks like you failed 2 tests out of 23
t/baz.t................. Dubious, test ...
Why do we do this instead of outputting TAP (using YAML diagnostics)?
ok 1 - t/foo.t
ok 2 - t/bar.t
not ok 3 - t/baz.t
---
failed:
- 2
- 11
...
And we could even add diagnostics for the non-failing tests. This
could be an alternate output, but now instead of external tools having
to try and parse our ad-hoc Test::Harness output, we could have an
alternate machine read-able output that those tools could use. Now if
only we had a useful way to read that output ...
