This provides an initial support for parsing TAP output. It detects failures
and skipped tests without relying on exit code, as well as early termination
of the test due to an error or a crash.
For now, subtests are not recorded in the TestRun object. However, because the
TAP output goes on stdout, it is printed by --print-errorlogs when a test does
not behave as expected. Handling subtests as TestRuns, and serializing them
to JSON, can be added later.
The parser was written specifically for Meson, and comes with its own
test suite.
Fixes#2923.
Hard errors also come from the GNU Automake test protocol. They happen when
e.g., the set-up of a test case scenario fails, or when some
other unexpected or highly undesirable condition is encountered.
TAP will use them for parse errors too. Add them to the exitcode protocol
first.
Modern gcovr includes html generation support so if lcov and
genhtml are not available fallback to gcovr.
Kept lcov and genhtml as default so to not surprise existing
users of coverage-html with the different output of gcovr.
gcovr added html support in 3.0 but as there already is a test
for 3.1 because of the changes to -r/--rootdir I opted to only
allow html generation for >= 3.1 to keep things simple.
'mesontest' is deprecated and is now 'meson test'
Replaced all references to 'mesontest' with 'meson test' and added a note of the change in the bottom of the page
This allows us to more easily have the documentation in sync with
the source code as people will have to document new features etc
right at the time where they implement it.
