A TAP source is something that produces a stream of TAP for the parser to
consume, such as an executable file, a text file, an archive, an IO handle, a
database, etc.  TAP::Parser::Source
s encapsulate these raw sources, and
provide some useful meta data about them.  They are used by
TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers, which do whatever is required to produce &
capture a stream of TAP from the raw source, and package it up in a
TAP::Parser::Iterator for the parser to consume.
Unless you're writing a new TAP::Parser::SourceHandler, a plugin or subclassing TAP::Parser, you probably won't need to use this module directly.
new
- my $source = TAP::Parser::Source->new;
 
Returns a new TAP::Parser::Source
 object.
raw
- my $raw = $source->raw;
 - $source->raw( $some_value );
 
Chaining getter/setter for the raw TAP source. This is a reference, as it may contain large amounts of data (eg: raw TAP).
meta
- my $meta = $source->meta;
 - $source->meta({ %some_value });
 
Chaining getter/setter for meta data about the source. This defaults to an empty hashref. See assemble_meta for more info.
has_meta
True if the source has meta data.
config
- my $config = $source->config;
 - $source->config({ %some_value });
 
Chaining getter/setter for the source's configuration, if any has been provided by the user. How it's used is up to you. This defaults to an empty hashref. See config_for for more info.
merge
- my $merge = $source->merge;
 - $source->config( $bool );
 
Chaining getter/setter for the flag that dictates whether STDOUT and STDERR should be merged (where appropriate). Defaults to undef.
switches
- my $switches = $source->switches;
 - $source->config([ @switches ]);
 
Chaining getter/setter for the list of command-line switches that should be passed to the source (where appropriate). Defaults to undef.
test_args
- my $test_args = $source->test_args;
 - $source->config([ @test_args ]);
 
Chaining getter/setter for the list of command-line arguments that should be passed to the source (where appropriate). Defaults to undef.
assemble_meta
- my $meta = $source->assemble_meta;
 
Gathers meta data about the raw source, stashes it in meta and returns it as a hashref. This is done so that the TAP::Parser::SourceHandlers don't have to repeat common checks. Currently this includes:
- is_scalar => $bool,
 - is_hash => $bool,
 - is_array => $bool,
 - # for scalars:
 - length => $n
 - has_newlines => $bool
 - # only done if the scalar looks like a filename
 - is_file => $bool,
 - is_dir => $bool,
 - is_symlink => $bool,
 - file => {
 - # only done if the scalar looks like a filename
 - basename => $string, # including ext
 - dir => $string,
 - ext => $string,
 - lc_ext => $string,
 - # system checks
 - exists => $bool,
 - stat => [ ... ], # perldoc -f stat
 - empty => $bool,
 - size => $n,
 - text => $bool,
 - binary => $bool,
 - read => $bool,
 - write => $bool,
 - execute => $bool,
 - setuid => $bool,
 - setgid => $bool,
 - sticky => $bool,
 - is_file => $bool,
 - is_dir => $bool,
 - is_symlink => $bool,
 - # only done if the file's a symlink
 - lstat => [ ... ], # perldoc -f lstat
 - # only done if the file's a readable text file
 - shebang => $first_line,
 - }
 - # for arrays:
 - size => $n,
 
shebang
Get the shebang line for a script file.
- my $shebang = TAP::Parser::Source->shebang( $some_script );
 
May be called as a class method
config_for
- my $config = $source->config_for( $class );
 
Returns config for the $class given. Class names may be fully qualified or abbreviated, eg:
- # these are equivalent
 - $source->config_for( 'Perl' );
 - $source->config_for( 'TAP::Parser::SourceHandler::Perl' );
 
If a fully qualified $class is given, its abbreviated version is checked first.
