proposal: testing: export all test case into human friendly format. #37770
Description
Feature Request - Test Case Export
Hi, All:
As we know, Golang built-in a nice test solution now, but can't export test case without real to run.
In fact We're often want to export test case to a nice format then import to another test case management tool.
So, I am asking for a new feature to export test cases.
What did you do?
The test case sample
///coment for test function
func TestFooBar(t *testing.T) {
///Comment for test case A
t.Run("Test Case A",func (t *testing.T) {
///Comment for test case 1
t.Run("Test Case 1",func (t *testing.T) {
})
t.Run("Test Case 2",func (t *testing.T) {
})
})
t.Run("Test Case B",func (t *testing.T) {
t.Run("Test Case 1",func (t *testing.T) {
})
t.Run("Test Case 2",func (t *testing.T) {
})
})
}What did you expect to see?
[
{
"name" : "TestFooBar",
"comment" : "coment for test function",
"sub" : [
{
"name" : "Test Case A",
"comment" : "Comment for test case A",
"sub" : [
{
"name" : "Test Case 1",
"comment" : "Comment for test case 1",
},
{
"name" : "Test Case 2"
}
]
},
...
]
}
]
What did you see instead?
can't do it now.

A Go test with sub-tests is not a graph or table, though. You can have arbitrary code and logic. For example, this is common:
This is why
go test -listonly lists top-level tests, and not sub-tests. Listing all sub-tests requires actually executing the tests, and might not show subtests which aren't meant to run on your platform.rsc commentedon Mar 11, 2020
As @mvdan points out, this is impossible to implement, since subtests can be computed.
Declining the proposal as infeasible.
