    Properties

    at?: null | CallSiteLike | CallSiteLikeJSON
    bail?: boolean

    Bail out on the first failure

    buffered?: boolean

    True if this test should be buffered, and only processed once complete.

    Defaults to true when t.jobs is set to a value greater than 1.

    If set false in that case, then the test will NOT be run in parallel, so this provides a way to control the parallelism within a test suite.

    childId?: number

    Numeric identifier attached to child tests. Most of the time, this is set based on the TAP_CHILD_ID environment variable.

    context?: any

    Any arbitrary data that is provided to this test object. Often, this is set in a t.before() or t.beforeEach() method. Scalar values are inherited by child tests. Object values are extended in child tests using Object.create().

    If not set in the options, this is initialized to a null-prototyped object, so that usage like t.context.foo = 'bar' will work as expected.

    This is initialized and set on the Test object in the runMain method, not at construction time. If set explicitly on the Test object in a before hook, then any context specified on options or inherited from the parent test will be ignored.

    debug?: boolean

    True to output LOTS AND LOTS of noisy debugging information. Set at the top level by the TAP_DEBUG environment variable.

    diagnostic?: boolean
    diff?: string
    doNotWant?: any
    error?: any
    errorOrigin?: {
        at?: null | CallSiteLike | CallSiteLikeJSON;
        source?: string;
        stack?: string;
    }
    expired?: string
    failOnly?: boolean

    treat only:true tests as failures, default false

    failSkip?: boolean

    treat skip tests as failures, default false

    failTodo?: boolean

    treat todo tests as failures, default false

    found?: any
    jobs?: number

    The number of jobs to run in parallel. Defaults to 1

    message?: string
    name?: string

    The name of this test

    omitVersion?: boolean

    Do not emit the TAP version 14 line.

    parent?: Base<TapBaseEvents> | TestBase

    Parent test of this test

    passes?: boolean

    track passes in the results lists, default false

    pattern?: any
    preserveWhitespace?: boolean

    Do not elide empty lines and other unnecessary whitespace

    silent?: boolean

    Setting silent:true in a subtest option makes it completely excluded from test output, UNLESS it fails.

    This was used historically for a few things which are now implemented with a more sophisticated promise management system, but can be handy in some rare situations.

    skip?: string | boolean

    Skip this test entirely, emitting a # SKIP directive

    source?: string
    stack?: string

    The stack where this test was initiated

    strict?: boolean

    Treat any unknown non-TAP data as an error May be set at run-time by the TAP stream using pragma +strict

    test?: string
    time?: number

    The amount of time that this test took to complete.

    Typically, this is not set explicitly, but inferred from the actual time spent. However in some cases, it may be reported by the top-level # time=... comment in a TAP subprocess stream.

    timeout?: number

    Amount of time in milliseconds before this test times out

    todo?: string | boolean

    Mark this test as to be done later, emitting a # TODO directive

    type?: string
    wanted?: any

    Internal Machinery

    cb?: (...args: any[]) => any

    Test function called when this Test is executed This is usually not set on the extra object, but as an argument to the t.test(..) method, just defined here so TS doesn't complain when we reference it in the various flow control machinery.

    indent?: string

    Number of spaces that this test is indented.

    parser?: Parser

    Parser to use for this TAP stream.

    tapChildBuffer?: string

    The TAP data from a buffered test.
