Info about use

Hello, I developed a program for testing the network behaviour (in python). In normal run it actually checks conditions and if they are not satisfied it updates an error log file.

Can I “produce” TAP file dinamically from my code? Something like

tap = newTapTestCase(...)
if !condition:
  tap.addError(...)
else:
  tap.addOk(...)
tap.close()

tappy was designed with Python testing frameworks in mind so the internal tracking is not really exposed as public API. The closest thing to what you are looking for in tappy is the Tracker (https://github.com/python-tap/tappy/blob/master/tap/tracker.py) which has an API that supports add_ok, add_not_ok, and add_skip. I think the streaming mode would be closest to what you’d need. Something like:

from tap.tracker import Tracker

tracker = Tracker(streaming=True, stream=my_open_error_file)
tracker.add_ok('SomeTestCase', 'This is the test description')

You may also want to consider alternative TAP projects (http://tappy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/alternatives.html) as one of them might have an API closer to what you’re looking for.

Good luck!
