go-internal VS Encore

The Go compiler has a really interesting, black box testing tool called "testscript"

You can find an extracted, installable version here: https://github.com/rogpeppe/go-internal/tree/master/cmd/test...

For test cases, I would look to libraries in any language that has them in an easy to copy format

No idea if the technique was original, it’s been too long, but I wrote about it on the Cloudflare blog in 2016. https://blog.cloudflare.com/go-coverage-with-external-tests/

Anyway, very happy to see the team ship first class support for it. It immediately made coverage support in testscript much more natural, too. https://github.com/rogpeppe/go-internal/pull/201

Thank you very much to Russ Cox for the original concept of testscript, to Roger Peppe for maintaining go-internal, and the whole Go team for their work on Go and its excellent tooling. Your work and efforts are truly appreciated!

In this tutorial you will create a REST API for a URL Shortener service using Encore for TypeScript, a new way of building fully type-safe and production-ready distributed systems in TypeScript using declarative infrastructure.

At Encore, we've made it easier by making Pub/Sub is a native component in Encore's Open Source Infrastructure SDK.

⭐️ Support the project by starring Encore on GitHub.

Very cool. Reminds me of the encore framework, also written in go: https://github.com/encoredev/encore

Need to spend some more time looking into these go based frameworks, they seem great for quick prototyping

package url import ( "context" "testing" ) // TestShortenAndRetrieve - test that the shortened URL is stored and retrieved from database. func TestShortenAndRetrieve(t *testing.T) { testURL := "https://github.com/encoredev/encore" sp := ShortenParams{URL: testURL} resp, err := Shorten(context.Background(), &sp) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } wantURL := testURL if resp.URL != wantURL { t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", resp.URL, wantURL) } firstURL := resp gotURL, err := Get(context.Background(), firstURL.ID) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } if *gotURL != *firstURL { t.Errorf("got %v, want %v", *gotURL, *firstURL) } }

For something in the same vein but for Go, there is Encore: https://encore.dev / https://github.com/encoredev/encore

The framework is Open Source and the Encore platform provides free cloud hosting for hobby projects.

Encore is a backend framework for creating cloud backend applications where infrastructure is provisioned automatically from business logic.
