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.

Writing tests for a Kubernetes Operator
Gomega: is a test assertion library, a vital dependency on Ginkgo.
- Quick tip: Easy test assertions with Go generics
-
Learning Go by examples: part 6 - Create a gRPC app in Go
Gomega is a Go library that allows you to make assertions. In our example, we check if what we got is null, not null, or equal to an exact value, but the gomega library is much richer than that.

Tips to prevent adoption of your API
Depends on the API and how much testing you need. You want to test your code, not the API's availability or correctness.
But it can be as easy as using a fake http library and mocking the responses, or using a httptest server: https://onsi.github.io/gomega/#ghttp-testing-http-clients
If the API is complicated and you have to write your own fake server, that might not make sense for small projects.

Go generics beyond the playground
If we do the count, we gather that subtest appear to solve five out of the six problems we identified with the assert library. At this point though, it's important to note that at the time when the assert package was designed, the sub-test feature in Go did not yet exist. Therefore it would have been impossible for that library to embed it into it's design. This is also true for when Gomega and Ginko where designed. If these test frameworks where created now, then most likely some parts of their design would have been done differently. What I am trying to say is that with even the slightest change in the Go language and standard library, completely new ways of designing programs become possible. Especially for new packages without any legacy use-cases to consider. And this brings us to generics.

2023 update to go-recipes collection
auto instrumenting skipping tests, analysing slow tests with gotestsum: https://github.com/gotestyourself/gotestsum

Which Tools Do You use daily for Golang development?
gotestsum for watching the filesystem and run tests on save.

Go API Project Set-Up
The go test command does not support test reporting out of the box. To generate a test report, we have to use gotestsum to generate a JUnit report. We add gotestsum to our tools.go file:
-
I built a tool to get instant test results (<500ms)
gotestsum has a similar feature with gotestsum --watch that runs the tests for the changed package when a file is saved.

Looking for a test runner like pytest.
