Add recognition of the test name line ("# Subtest: <name>") to the KTAP v2 spec.
The purpose of this line is to declare the name of a test before its results. This functionality is especially useful when trying to parse test results incrementally and when interpretting results after a crash.
This line is already compliant with KTAP v1 as it is interpretted as a diagnostic line by parsers. Additionally, the line is currently used by KUnit tests and was derived from the TAP 14 spec: https://testanything.org/tap-version-14-specification.html.
Recognition of this line would create an accepted way for different test frameworks to declare the name of a test before its results.
The proposed location for this line is between the version line and the test plan line. This location ensures that the line would not be accidentally parsed as a subtest's diagnostic lines. Note this proposed location would be a slight differentiation from KTAP v1.
Example of test name line:
KTAP version 2 # Subtest: main_test 1..1 KTAP version 2 # Subtest: sub_test 1..2 ok 1 test_1 ok 2 test_2 ok 1 sub_test
Here is a link to a version of the KUnit parser that is able to parse the test name line for KTAP version 2. Note this includes a test name line for the main level of KTAP.

Also, I want to elaborate on the previous paragraph a bit more, in case the motivation isn't clear. The problem with TAP and KTAP as-is is that the name of a test case is only known *after* it completes.
So the scenario being referred to is
KTAP version 1 1..1 <lots of output> <kernel crash, no more output>
It would be nice if parsers could report "test FOO caused a crash" as opposed to "the first test case caused a crash, good luck figuring out which one that was"

It would be useful to take some of the motivation explanation from TAP14, which says (everything to the end of this email):
Commented Subtests are encouraged, as they provide the following benefits:
Easier for humans to read. For example:
TAP version 14 1..1 ok 1 - hmm, what level is this? vs:
TAP version 14 # Subtest: level 1 # Subtest: level 2 # Subtest: level 3 1..1 ok 1 - clearly level 3
Additional strictness around matching the Test Point description to Subtest Name can catch errors and detect accidentally interleaved output.

Oops. Thanks for catching this. I will change this for a v2. Unsure why I repeated the typo twice.

Yes, this is exactly what I think is the largest benefit of a line to define the test name pre-results. Thanks for expanding. I will likely add in some of this explanation into the commit message for v2.
Thanks,

Hi Frank,
Yes, I see what you are saying here. It would be inconvenient for parsers to make an exception to the method of parsing diagnostic lines.
I think it would be cleaner to modify the Version line syntax to be:
KTAP version 2 [# <subtest_name>]
I like that this idea wouldn't introduce a new line, which is invaluable. However, I would suspect this alternative may break more parsers than the first proposal, as current parsers may search for the full version line to find KTAP results (I know at least KUnit does this). Therefore I slightly prefer the original proposal. Curious what others prefer?
Overall, I advocate that KTAP should allow a way to define the name of the test prior to the results based on the reasons discussed above and by Daniel and Frank. So if this is the preferred method I would understand.

If the parser searches the full version line, it will already fail to accept "KTAP version 2", because it is looking for "KTAP version 1" only. When the parser gets updated to find "KTAP version 2", it should be not too difficult to add "[# <subtest_name>]" to be valid data.
