The node:test spec and TAP reporters ignored skip and todo metadata on passing test events. As a result, skipped tests appeared as ordinary passes and TAP output omitted the directives consumed by downstream tooling.

Reporter formatting now preserves Node's directive behavior: spec uses the skipped marker, includes string reasons, and retains SKIP/TODO for boolean directives; TAP always emits the labeled directive and optional reason. The parity fixture now invokes Node 26's reporter transforms correctly, so it exercises the same event stream in Node and Perry.

Validation:

  • Directives fixture matches Node 26.5.1 byte for byte, including string and boolean directive forms
  • Focused node_submodules::test tests: 52 passed
  • Full perry-runtime suite: 3,242 passed, 4 ignored; doc tests green
  • Full perry-stdlib suite: 132 passed
  • Official test node-suite module: 88/90; directives passes, with only the already-submitted prototype-method fix and the separate nested-reporter case remaining
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: all 64 gates passed; 2 CI-only commands skipped locally
  • No version bump

Fixes #9202

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Test reporters now display skip and todo directives in output.
    • Spec reports use a distinct marker for skipped tests and include optional directive reasons.
    • TAP reports append directive information to passing-test output.
    • Directive formatting supports Node-compatible markers and syntax.
  • Tests

    • Reporter validation now covers both streaming and asynchronous reporter output formats.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now renders skip and todo directives in spec and TAP reporters, including optional reasons. The parity test helper now collects output from both writable-stream and async-iterable reporters.

Changes

Reporter directive handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directive extraction and formatting
crates/perry-runtime/src/node_submodules/test_reporters.rs, changelog.d/9914-test-reporter-directives.md
The reporters detect truthy skip and todo values, format optional reasons, use the marker for skipped spec tests, and append directive suffixes to spec and TAP output. The changelog documents the behavior.
Reporter output collection
test-parity/node-suite/test/reporters/directives.ts
collect now handles reporters that return writable streams as well as reporters that return async iterables.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c8663

Skip or todo reasons containing special characters can produce malformed TAP output that differs from Node. Escaping should be added before merge.

Explanation

The changes address reporter-directive parity related to issue #9202, but they do not implement the issue's broader requirements for the macOS arm64 baseline, canonical harness contract, gate-blocking failure reporting, reproducible reports, and systematic triage.

Resolution

Either narrow the linked issue reference to a reporter-directive-specific issue, or extend this pull request to implement the remaining #9202 requirements for the baseline, harness execution contract, failure visibility, reproducible reporting, and triage. Do not claim to fix #9202 unless its primary requirements are complete or explicitly split into tracked child issues.

Node.js v26.5.1 lib/internal/test_runner/reporter/tap.js directive reason escaping

💡 Result:

In Node.js, the TAP reporter (located at lib/internal/test_runner/reporter/tap.js) implements character escaping to ensure that test names and diagnostic information generate valid Test Anything Protocol (TAP) output [1][2]. This is critical because certain characters, such as the backslash (\) and the hash (#), have special significance in TAP formatting [1][3]. The tapEscape function, which handles this process, specifically escapes characters to prevent them from breaking the TAP stream structure [1][2]. The implementation follows a specific order of operations to correctly handle escape sequences: 1. It escapes control characters and common escape sequences: - Backspace (\b) becomes \\b [1][2] - Form feed (\f) becomes \\f [1][2] - Tab (\t) becomes \\t [1][2] - Newline (\n) becomes \\n [1][2] - Carriage return (\r) becomes \\r [1][2] - Vertical tab (\v) becomes \\v [1][2] 2. It then handles structural TAP characters, ensuring they are escaped last so that they are not inadvertently processed as part of a previous escape sequence [1]: - Backslash (\) is escaped to \\ [1][2] - Hash (#) is escaped to \# [1][2] This logic ensures that metadata, such as directive reasons (e.g., in a skip or todo directive), are properly serialized into the TAP output without compromising the protocol's integrity [1][2][4]. The escaping mechanism was refined over several releases to ensure consistency across different test execution modes, such as when using or not using the --test flag [1][5].

Escape TAP directive reasons before output.

directive_suffix writes reason directly into the TAP line. Apply Node.js 26.5.1 TAP escaping before interpolation so #, \, and control characters do not change the TAP output.
