I'm reading this script closely because I'd like to make a few changes and am surprised it hasn't received any edits since 2012. I think the output is missing ratio of *test's failed, currently only file level stats are presented not test level, and also the following options from prove.
--verbose Print all test lines. --failures Show failed tests. * This to me is a key feature of TAP and this script silently discards the most useful parts of the protocol. Somethings I'v spotted that are driving me nuts. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/lib/tap-driver.sh#n100 Clearly indicates that "--color-tests=yes" is the only way to enable color, there is no auto-detecting a PTY or any support for the documented "--color-tests=always" It's also crazy that "--color-tests=y" or "--color-tests=1" won't work and like wise "--comments" "--no-comments" seems out of place or rather a better way to implement Boolean arguments. Is there much interest in keeping this script the way it is or can I lobotomize and release it under a new name? Suffix of ng is popular these days, tapng-driver.sh. or tap-driverng.sh
