  • I want Test::Builder to support the new YAML diagnostic syntax.

    I've done a really nasty hacky, bodge of Test::More that sort of supports diagnostics:

    Test::More::Diagnostic [cpan.org]

    It highlights what I believe is a small design flaw in the YAML blocks: if you want to process a test result and its associated block as an atom you have to introduce a delay into the processing pipeline - because having seen a test you don't know if the next thing is going to be a YAML block or another test.

    TAP::Formatter::TextMate [cpan.org] has sample code for associating diagnostics with the correct test result.

    I want deferred plans. So that I can specify my own plan count at the end of a test run, but not just use 'no_plan'.

    I think that structured TAP solves that problem. So we need people to vote on one of:

    http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Test_Groups [testanything.org] http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Test_Blocks [testanything.org]

    so we can move forward with that.
