gotests makes writing Go tests easy. It's a Golang commandline tool that generates table driven tests based on its target source files' function and method signatures. Any new dependencies in the test files are automatically imported.
The following shows gotests in action using the official Sublime Text 3 plugin. Plugins also exist for Emacs, Vim, Atom Editor, and Visual Studio Code.
Minimum Go version: Go 1.6
Use go get to install and update:
$ go get -u github.com/cweill/gotests/...From the commandline, gotests can generate Go tests for specific source files or an entire directory. By default, it prints its output to stdout.
$ gotests [options] PATH ...Available options:
-all generate go tests for all functions and methods
-excl regexp. generate go tests for functions and methods that don't
match. Takes precedence over -only, -exported, and -all
-exported generate go tests for exported functions and methods. Takes
precedence over -only and -all
-i print test inputs in error messages
-only regexp. generate go tests for functions and methods that match only.
Takes precedence over -all
-w write output to (test) files instead of stdout
-nosubtests disable subtest generation. Only available for Go 1.7+
-template_dir optional. Path to a directory containing custom test code templates
