App::Prove::Plugin::TermTable

Set the size of the console for Term::Table

SYNOPSIS

From command-line:

prove -PTermTable

From .proverc:

-PTermTable

DESCRIPTION

Some of the Test2::Tools provide some pretty tables for comparing deltas from failed tests. It tries to detect the size of the terminal so that long lines can be wrapped and the tables remain readable. Unfortunately when you run the tests under prove, stdout is redirected to a non-terminal and the size of the terminal cannot be detected. This plugin will detect the size of the terminal using /dev/tty instead of stdout and set the appropriate environment variable so that tables can be printed to use the entire terminal diameter.

I understand why 80 columns is the default for when you do not know the size of a terminal, but really who here in 2018 is actually using an 80 column display? sigh.
