Re^2: How can I enable utf8 layer on Test::More diag output

Yes, see my post below. You can set the failure_output and the todo_output but I don't see a place to obtain the handle from Test::Builder, just a way to set it. As a result this works:

use Test::More;

# both of the following are too late for Test::More
# because it has already duplicated STDOUT, STDERR
binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8");
binmode(STDERR, ":utf8"):

my $tb = Test::More->builder;
$tb->failure_output(\*STDERR);
$tb->todo_output(\*STDERR);
$tb->output(\*STDOUT);

now we can diag utf8 data.

Re^3: How can I enable utf8 layer on Test::More diag output by moritz (Cardinal) on Jul 22, 2008 at 15:10 UTC
Here's how you obtain the handles with the same methods you use for setting them: `my $b = Test::More->builder; binmode STDOUT, $b->failure_output, ':utf8';` [download] `# both of the following are too late for Test::More # because it has already duplicated STDOUT, STDERR` [download] That's not quite the cause. If it where, the following would work: `BEGIN { binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'; binmode STDERR, ':utf8'; } use Test::More;` [download] however, it doesn't work for me. still for a general-purpose module I wouldn't assume that the terminal necessarily accepts UTF-8.

Thank you, I had not realised failure_output without any args returns the file handle already in use. On the other issue, it is a combination of Test::More duplicating the handles on load AND the fact it does not copy the IO layers when it duplicates them. As a result, I would not expect setting binmode in BEGIN to help.	[reply]
