NAME
simple_report - Ultra-compact TAP summary
SYNOPSIS
# For a one-line summary:
% simple_scan <ss.in 2>&1 | simple_report MyLabel
MyLabel: tests=9, ok=8, failed=1, skipped=1, todo=2 (1 UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED)
# For the summary plus a one-line comment for failed
# tests and unexpectedly-suceeding TODO tests:
% simple_scan <ss.in 2>&1 | simple_report -v MyLabel
MyLabel: tests=9, ok=8, failed=1, skipped=1, todo=2 (1 UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED)
F 7 Broken test
T 9 unexpected success
# For the summary plus one-line comment plus diagnostics:
% simple_scan <ss.in 2>&1 | simple_report -v -v MyLabel
MyLabel: tests=9, ok=8, failed=1, skipped=1, todo=2 (1 UNEXPECTEDLY SUCCEEDED)
F 7 Deliberately broken test (zorch) [http://zorch.mysite.com/] [/fnord/ should match]

Raw TAP output is often lengthy, making it difficult to spot tests that have failed. simple_report is a TAP filter: it reads TAP output from its standard input, and creates a compact report as to
number of tests run
number of tests passed
number of tests failed
number of tests skipped
number of TODO tests (and number unexpectedly passing, if any)
If you want to see the test comments from the tests which failed, add --verbose (or -v for the lazy) to get a one-line printout of the failing (and unexpectedly-succeeding) tests as well.
If you want to see all of the diag messages as well, specify -v -v (that's two --verbose options).
If you've installed WWW::Mechanize::Plugin::Snapshot and snapshots were taken, a one-line diag will be printed showing you where the snapshot was stored.
If you're running simple_report as part of a pipe from simple_scan, you may want to use the -s option. This outputs a status message each time another test runs, culminating in the standard reports that simple_report outputs. The status messages all begin with '# ', so they're easy to filter out of your final output if you only want the report output.
INTERFACE
See the DESCRIPTION section.
DIAGNOSTICS
If you do not specify a test name as the first argument, UNNAMED_TEST is assumed.
Output will indicate no tests were run if the input is not valid TAP:
> perldoc simple_report | simple_report

No config files or environment variables used.
