gspec

It started as a weekend experiment on making a pretty test runner for go, then I started to write some base tests using conventional go test libraries and building my own assertion based such axioms.

how it works

everything is synchronous, I built it for myself so I can have an efficient TDD flow with unit tests in go. The main idea is to reduce as much as possible the friction in: writing, running and debugging tests in go.

playing

There is a local folder named ``foo`` which contains a file called spec_bar.go:

package foo
import . "github.com/gabrielfalcao/gspec"

func Feature(){
    Describe("The sum operation", func(){
        var number int

        Given("the number 10", func(){
            number = 10
        })
        When("I add 5", func(){
            number += 5
        })

        Then("It should equal 15", func(){
            Expect(number).To.Equal(15)
            It("Should really be 15", func(){
                Expect(number).To.Equal(15)
            })
        })
    })
}

Then you can run like this:

go run gspec.go ./foo/

And see the results
