autogold v2.0.0 - automatically update your Go tests
2 projects | /r/golang | 21 Dec 2022

Passing any value your test got - autogold will format that value in Go syntax and write a testdata/.golden file with what the value was. If the contents on disk are different than what your test produces, the test will fail and you'll get a nice (now colored) diff explaining the difference. If you like the change, you can run go test ./... -update and it'll automatically update the .golden files on disk to match what your test actually produced.
