tappy manual page

Synopsis

tappy [options] <pathname> [<pathname> ...]

Description

The :program:`tappy` command consumes the list of tap files given as pathname s and produces an output similar to what the regular text test-runner from python's :py:mod:`unittest` module would. If pathname points to a directory, :program:`tappy` will look in that directory for *.tap files to consume.

If you have a tool that consumes the unittest regular output, but wish to use the TAP protocol to better integrate with other tools, you may use tappy to replay tests from .tap files, without having to actually run the tests again (which is much faster).

It is also an example of how to use the tap consumer API provided by the :py:mod:`tap` module.

Warning

:program:`tappy`'s output will differ from the standard :py:mod:`unittest` output. Indeed it cannot reproduce error and failure messages (e.g. stack traces, ...) that are not recorded in tap files.

Options

-h, --help show a short description and option list and exit.
-v, --verbose produce verbose output

Author
