Returning the line number of the test in the TAP reporter

[jacobmendoza]

Is it feasible to return the line number of the test expression in the TAP reporter?. I don't mean the line of the assert failed. In fact, it would be interesting regardless the result of the test.

It could be very useful when developing extensions. In my case it would be nice for the Atom package. Having the line of the test could give me the ability to render the result besides the test in the text editor.

I am not very familiar with the codebase, and I'm just guessing. I don't know if we have an analysis/parsing process of the file (I don't see it). As far as I can see now, the reporters receive a structure as:

{ duration: 165, title: 'foobar', error: null, type: 'test', skip: false, todo: false, file: 'test1.js' }

I can think of a different solution, trying to parse that myself. But I would like some feedback about if it is actually possible.

Thank you!

node-tap already does this using at property of the yaml output.

@jacobmendoza could you clarify what output you like to see? The line of each assertion? Or the line of the test? Regardless of whether the tests fail?

Oh - missed that you wanted this for passing tests/assertions.

We could probably accommodate with a babel-plugin. I'm not opposed, but I think it's low-priority.

Is there anything I could do to help get this moving along?

@OmgImAlexis PR welcome, I suppose, but I'm not overly familiar with TAP and I can't immediately tell by this issue description what the next steps would be.
