TAP 13 compliant reporter

jamestalmage commented 3 years ago

The current TAP emitter is missing out on features that are available with TAP version 13. Also, the Node.js tap team is pushing TAP to some pretty cool places. Complying with their spec would provide a host of pretty reporters, including seamless integration of those pretty reporters in polyglot projects.

Reference:

Node TAP's extended definition: https://node-tap.org/tap-protocol (worth noting that it's carefully designed for backwards compatibility - all TAP 13 compliant reporters should be fine with it)
Official TAP 13 reporter: https://testanything.org/tap-version-13-specification.html

An example of the output that is available: https://node-tap.org/docs/getting-started/

We are certainly happy to accept pull requests for this! Unfortunately I do not have time to investigate + implement this presently.

I'll just chime in with a "me too" here ;-) I'd like to see TAP 13 support myself but probably don't have time to sit down and tease out an implementation any time soon. I would be happy to contribute the time to facilitate a PR however if something works this up into a contribution.
