Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Creating an API using Go and sqlc
For that, I used the lib go-sqlmock. So, for example, the following snippet is part of the person/service_test.go file:

Using SQLC in project how do I mock database Calls with it for unit testing?
I’m writing a post about it! I will post soon, but you can use https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock to mock your database calls
It's not the right call IMO to skip mocking the database connection to achieve 100% test coverage. How your app will behave in failure scenarios that are impossible to imitate during integration tests is part of the software contract. If your choice is to panic, or return an error, document that by testing that behavior. If another dev, or future you inadvertently breaks the contract, the test suite will fail. That's what you want. For unit tests against your database you should be using either go-sqlmock if testing against database/sql or pgxmock if testing against pgx. That being said, the points raised elsewhere in this thread regarding unit tests potentially hiding edge cases in terms of how an actual database will interact with your application that are not reflective of your understanding when writing mocks are 100% valid. You should do both. Unit test your app and write integration tests as well. On my team, we run integration tests using docker-compose.

Can you set expectations for SQL transaction using Testify?
I use Sqlmock for that purpose
-
Mocking database queries - ask for opinion
I use https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock for unit testing my data layer code. Most of the times, these tests help me to find errors whenever I do a refactor on the data layer, so I consider it a good safety net

I share my authentication server.

[HELP] Testing SQL queries and functions that use SQL queries in Golang.
For testing DB queries I use https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock for unit tests. I then have a separate integration test suite that runs against all our services using Docker.

I want to contribute to open source but don't know where to start
There are some one liner changes you can implement in https://github.com/vektra/mockery
-
Is gomock still maintained and recommended?
When there's just one heavyweight dependency you're interacting with, perhaps a one-off stub/fake is simpler, but I would posit that auto-generated mocks via things like mockery + go:generate leave less test code to maintain vs. perhaps many stubs across the project.
-
How do you write/generate mocks for testing?
My bread and butter is mockery (https://github.com/vektra/mockery). It has a few shortcomings (a config would be really nice in my project) which should be fixed in v3 (https://github.com/vektra/mockery#v3).

Layered Architectures in Go
One of the huge benefits to this pattern is testability. Since each layer is injected into each parent layer, we can generate mocks for each layer and inject those instead. For this code we could easily achieve 100% code coverage when unit testing each layer, since we have full control of the child layers. A great tool to use for generating mocks from interfaces is vektra/mokery. One command will create mocks for each of your interfaces that we can inject during test.

golang unit testing
I use gomock or mockery for mocking the interfaces and testify for evaluating tests

Show HN: Simple Go mocks without interface{}s
Since mockery uses a lot of interface{} magic, adding arguments or return values to interfaces and regenerating the mocks does not get the compiler to complain about existing, now invalid, usages of the mocks. This means that I have to track them down manually. Or, if I'm brave enough, try my hand at a few crazy regexes that never get the job 100% done.
go-mocky does not use interface{}s, and thus can't hide changes to function signatures from the compiler; whenever a mock has been updated and the function signature has changed, the compiler will complain for all existing tests. This means that I can now catch errors at compile/lint time instead of runtime.
Another added benefit is that the go-mocky mocks are dead simple and very easy to write and maintain by hand, should the need ever arise.

is there a way to write test in a sane way?
+1 on testify. Started out with that, and it, together with its mocks and the framework mockery are a brilliant combination, assuming you are into testing with mocks to some extent
-
How do you control behaviour in mocked interface ?
I use mockery to generate mocks based on my interfaces: https://github.com/vektra/mockery

How do you install commands using go.mod
There are some packages in my project that are not used in the source code, but they're used as commands (i.e. https://github.com/vektra/mockery https://github.com/rubenv/sql-migrate).
