Testify VS go-testdeep

IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

FWIW, I've been using testify and mockery for years.

To answer OP directly, I am largely quite happy with mockery (and testify) to write expressive tests.

Indispensable for testing your code: https://github.com/stretchr/testify

Best tool in the ecosystem testify. Learn about Table driven test, suite - saves your time so much with setup & teardown. Absolutely one thing you need to follow, if you see anything breaking (or bugs) add tests for that, could be unit tests or integration tests, this's of huge value and reduces manual testsing.

I use https://github.com/stretchr/testify in tests, it prints structs and diffs very well

Assertion libraries that people seem to love: - testify (my favorite) - go-cmp is a more barebones library - gotest.tools -- I have never used this but some swear by it

TestDeep. I got pretty used to many of the matchers and they simplify my life now.

Check go-testdeep using its operators, it is very easy to do table driven tests, see https://goplay.space/#Z91D72aH3Sc for an example

See https://github.com/maxatome/go-testdeep/releases/tag/v1.11.0 for changes.

go-testdeep, the powerful testing framework based on easy to use operators, continues to evolve...

the 1.10.0 release with many new features including a new SuperSliceOf operator (so now 62 operators!), a relaxed JSON parser, the possibility to ignore unexported struct fields, to target a specific nested field (even private), the enhancement of tdhttp HTTP API tester to check cookies, to use multipart/form-data bodies, and many other magic things…

And of course go-testdeep which colorizes the error reports with simple but accurate diff.
