This series of patches updates the format of kselftest TAP results to improve compatibility with the proposed KTAP specification (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/CA+GJov6tdjvY9x12JsJT14qn6c7NViJxqaJ...).
Three changes: - Change from "# " to " " for indentation of nested tests - Add subtest header line at start of tests with subtests. Line format is "# Subtest: [name of test]". - Remove TAP header in nested tests
Standardizing TAP results would not only allow for clearer documentation and ease of reading but by standardizing the format across different testing frameworks, we could also share the use of tools.
As an example:
This is a truncated version of TAP results from the kselftest ptrace with the new format changes:
TAP version 13 1..1 # selftests: ptrace: get_syscall_info # Subtest: selftests: ptrace: get_syscall_info 1..1 # Starting 1 tests from 1 test cases. # RUN global.get_syscall_info ... # OK global.get_syscall_info ok 1 global.get_syscall_info # PASSED: 1 / 1 tests passed. # Totals: pass:1 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0 ok 1 selftests: ptrace: get_syscall_info
With the new patch to update the KUnit parser to improve compatibility with the proposed KTAP specification, (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/20210826195505.3066755-1-rmoar@googl...) the above TAP results would be parsed as the following:
[20:46:09] ============================================================ [20:46:09] ===== selftests: ptrace: get_syscall_info (1 subtest) ====== [20:46:09] [PASSED] global.get_syscall_info [20:46:09] ======= [PASSED] selftests: ptrace: get_syscall_info ======= [20:46:09] ============================================================ [20:46:09] Testing complete. Passed: 1, Failed: 0, Crashed: 0, Skipped: 0, Errors: 0
Thus, the kunit parser could become a useful tool for kselftest users.

Some of the existing TAP parsers expect leading spaces to be parsed as YAML (from the _preceeding_ test result). "#" is understood to be diagnostics about the currently running test.
Since there's no "---" nor "..." here, and the other parsers were pretty busted to try to parse YAML without those, I can be convinced that diagnostics can be marked with a leading " ", but if that's true, why not just drop all "#" usage? Then we'd have:

That would mean subtests are no longer individually parseable by existing TAP parsers (i.e. when LAVA splits up kselftest output, suddenly there is no TAP header).

But this would mean changing every TAP parser to notice "# Subtest:" instead of "TAP version ..." Why bother doing that? A parser aware of subtests just needs to examine indentation level currently.

These changes to the format of TAP results for kselftests are based on this proposed specification of KTAP: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kselftest/CA+GJov6tdjvY9x12JsJT14qn6c7NViJxqaJ...
However, there has been considerable discussion on this proposal recently. It is great to see this discourse on the specification KTAP. However, the changes to the format of TAP results for kselftests in this series of patches should be paused until further agreement on the exact specification of KTAP.
