test: update tap reporter version to 14

[anonrig]

Fixes#44040 according to TAP specification available on http://testanything.org/tap-version-14-specification.html

Example test:

consttest=require('node:test');constassert=require('node:assert');test('top-level test 1',async(t)=>{awaitt.test('level 1.1',()=>{});});test('top-level test 2',()=>{});

Produced output:

TAP version 14 # Subtest: top-level test 1 ok 1 - level 1.1 --- duration_ms: 0.001925209 ... 1..1 ok 1 - top-level test 1 --- duration_ms: 0.002924375 ... ok 2 - top-level test 2 --- duration_ms: 0.000044334 ... 1..2 # tests 2 # pass 2 # fail 0 # cancelled 0 # skipped 0 # todo 0 # duration_ms 0.031293292

How well does this play with tap parsers such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/tap-mocha-reporter ?
It was originally introduced since tap parsers did not relate to nested tests as nested
See
#43417

Thanks for the question @MoLow. Here's the output using tap-mocha-reporter

➜ node git:(fix/tap-v14) ✗ ./out/Release/node ./tap-test.js | tap-mocha-reporter spec (node:66047) ExperimentalWarning: The test runner is an experimental feature. This feature could change at any time (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created) top-level test 1 ✓ level 1.1 ✓ top-level test 2 2 passing (5ms)

@MoLow here is a screenshot comparing all 3 scenarios:

1. current output (test_runner: update output TAP format to follow TAP 14 specs #44040)
2. node-tap
3. changes from this PR

I think we are good! WDYT?

Well only the first example looks correct to me.
Top level test 2 should not be under top level test 1, or am I missing anything?

[manekinekko]

@anonrig specs 14 state that subtests need to be terminated by a test point.

TAP version 14 # Subtest: subtest name <<< start of subtest ... ok 1 - subtest name <<< end of subtest (could be ok or not ok) 

[anonrig]

Actually this is related to Tap 14 and how tap-mocha-reporter does not handle tap 14 grammar correctly. If we want to support tap 14 we need to ignore this, since it is not backward compatible according to the specification

Since TAP13 specifies that non-TAP output should be ignored or provided directly to the user, and indented Test Points and Plans are non-TAP according to TAP13, only the terminating correlated test point will be interpreted by most TAP13 Harnesses. Thus, they will usually report the overall subtest result correctly, even if they lack the details about the results of the subtest

[manekinekko]

Thanks for investigating this @anonrig! I agree we should ignore the mocha report case (unless there is a requirement I am not aware of).

@MoLow the upcoming built-in TAP parser (#43525) is built on top of TAP 14. In most cases, TAP 14 is backward compatible with TAP13. I suggest we focus on TAP 14 and then later add TAP 13 specifics (if needed).

@manekinekko can the built-in parser support both TAP 13 and TAP 14?
I think until we have a built-in solution for human-readable output, we should try and support the human-readable use case with ecosystem packages such as tap-mocha-reporter work

[manekinekko]

I guess the answer is yes. The parser will need to implement both strategies. The current implementation will need some major refactoring but it's manageable.

However, the current TAP 14 support is not 100% complete. I'd say we are 95%. Local pragmas support needs some twerking. Diagnostic data is parsed as raw data (not yaml).

Sorry for this unproductive comment, but I hope you meant to say tweaking 😄

[anonrig]

Should we produce different tap output according to different flags? What is the best alternative for producing 2 (or more) different tap versions for the test runner?

OMG!! Sorry about the typo. I definitely meant "tweaking" 😂

According to specs, TAP 14 must be backwards compatible with TAP 13.

[anonrig]

I reverted my subtest print changes and just left the tap version print change and updated the tests. If there are any other changes required, I'll be happy to resolve @manekinekko

[ErickWendel]

@anonrig it seems some tests are broken now, would you mind checking it?

[anonrig]

Updated the last commit and forced pushed with the unhandled test case pointing to version 13. @ErickWendel

@manekinekko apologies for the OTT - how are you getting tap-mocha-reporter working with the node test runner output?
