Testify VS logrus

github.com/stretchr/testify

I then verify that there are no issues with writing the body with require.NoError() from the testify toolkit. This will ensure the test fails if something happens to go wrong at this point.

For testing purposes, Go provides a go test command that automatically discovers tests within your application and supports features such as caching and code coverage. However, if you require more advanced testing capabilities such as suites or mocking, you will need to install a toolkit like testify. Overall, while Go provides a highly effective testing experience, it's worth noting that writing tests in Python using pytest is arguably one of the most enjoyable testing experiences I have encountered across all programming languages.

Things I can't live without in a new Go project in no particular order:

- https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint - meta-linter

- https://goreleaser.com - automate release workflows

- https://magefile.org - build tool that can version your tools

- https://github.com/ory/dockertest/v3 - run containers for e2e testing

- https://github.com/ecordell/optgen - generate functional options

- https://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer - generate String()

- https://mvdan.cc/gofumpt - stricter gofmt

- https://github.com/stretchr/testify - test assertion library

- https://github.com/rs/zerolog - logging

- https://github.com/spf13/cobra - CLI framework

FWIW, I just lifted all the tools we use for https://github.com/authzed/spicedb

We've also written some custom linters that might be useful for other folks: https://github.com/authzed/spicedb/tree/main/tools/analyzers

Im thinking in wrap or not the library https://github.com/stretchr/testify to do my tests.

Are you limited to the std lib, or can you use testify? You can require things like require.Error()

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

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

It's some sort of logging system well explained by Alex Edwards in Let’s Go Further. As stated, we could have used logrus or any other popular logging system in Go.

Option 2, please. You may not have been around for the logrus debacle, but it was a giant pain.

For the example I’m using the very popular logrus library and then I’m setting the log formatter to be JSON

For choosing the candidates for the poll, I didn't do any thorough research. I was looking for a library to use in my project at work, and I ended up at sirupsen/logrus which was already being used by one of the dependencies in that project.

I contribute to OSS as part of my job on the regular. The company is good about contributing upstream, signing CLAs, and all that. We still work against private forks for two main reasons: 1. Some changes that we need are not accepted by maintainers based on philosophical or architectural reasons that we can’t otherwise work around. You’re beholden to then unless you publicly fork the repo which has other legal/PR overhead for the company and OSS political implications. 2. Maintainers in the past have taken down repos, renamed repos, or changed the licensing on repos that have left us in a lurch. We always build against our own private forks because we need predictability and can’t be beholden to some other party for business continuity. We sync them down from the public upstream at our leisure.

If they change the case on their username on the other hand, the Go ecosystem explodes: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/570#issuecomment-3...

Like, for example, some projects importing logrus with a capital L and some with a lowercase L, and go modules having no way to reconcile the two: https://github.com/sirupsen/logrus/issues/553

Ugh. Wish people would stop using logrus. It’s in maintenance mode and slow, especially its stack tracing.
