    Project mention: Launch HN: Codeparrot (YC W23) – Automated API testing using production traffic | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-03-17

    I love to see more activity in this area!

    I'm maintainer of GoReplay https://github.com/buger/goreplay and work in this area for the last 10 years.

    It is quite hard problem to solve, because you have to deal with state difference between test and production environments. Love your approach to mocking dependencies, and leveraging OpenTelementry. It potentially can solve some of state issues. But still require modifying user code. I wonder if it can be done purely using OpenTelementry (e.g. you depend on typical OTel setup), and then read the data directly from OTel DB.

    Cheers!

    Project mention: Gokiburi: Automatic Test Runs for Go Projects | /r/golang | 2023-05-07

    I have always liked to use the similar GoConvey tool for automatic test runs during development, but it has definitely started to “show its age” and since Go 1.20 it hasn’t been able to parse code coverage correctly. So, I decided to dive into making my own tool to replace it for me.

  • go-grpc-middleware

    Golang gRPC Middlewares: interceptor chaining, auth, logging, retries and more.

    Project mention: Seeking advice on implementing a tinyurl-like service using Go and gRPC. | /r/golang | 2023-05-24

    Hello, Those interviews are even crazy for internship. Anyway 1. Try to find a simple CRUD example online. You can check [this](https://tutorialedge.net/golang/go-grpc-beginners-tutorial/) 2. For logging you can check [go-grpc-middleware](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-middleware) 3. You can grpc-gateway in case they want some REST endpoints too 4. Use base62 to encode your url. So at least 2 columns in your table **shortenedUrl** and **url** 5. For such a project no need to use an ORM ( it's not advised anyway ). Implement 2 functions, one to insert into the db and the other one to read from the db. Remember to use transaction though 5. For unit tests go with the standard library and mock the 2 functions ( erroneous and valid cases )

  • go-sqlmock

  • syzkaller

    syzkaller is an unsupervised coverage-guided kernel fuzzer

    Project mention: Fuzz Testing Is the Best Thing to Happen to Our Application Tests | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-17

    The key to modern fuzzing is feedback, usually some kind of coverage testing of the program under test. This allows the fuzzer to be much smarter about how it finds new code paths, and makes fuzzing find bugs a lot quicker.

    Google have a project to do fuzzing on Linux system calls using coverage feedback: https://github.com/google/syzkaller

  • gotests

    Automatically generate Go test boilerplate from your source code.

    Project mention: Russ Cox: Go Testing by Example | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-05

    A huge time-saver for me when generating table-driven test boilerplate in Go has been using gotests[0] to generate the template.

    If you use VSCode with the Go extension it's already available there as a command "Go: Generate Unit Tests for Function/Package".

  • go-fuzz

    Randomized testing for Go

    Project mention: Fuzzing in Go | /r/golang | 2023-06-10

    I used this method successfully for my qjson package . It accepts as input a human readable json. It detected a condition I forgot to check in a few minutes. I used the go fuzzer go-fuzz from Dmitry Vyukov. Check the impressive list of trophies at the end of the README. These are bugs found by the fuzzer.

  • realize

    Realize is the #1 Golang Task Runner which enhance your workflow by automating the most common tasks and using the best performing Golang live reloading.

  • rod

    A Devtools driver for web automation and scraping

    Project mention: Need help authenticating to Okta programatically. | /r/okta | 2023-07-03

    I have tried the following. 1. Login to Okta via browser programatically using go-rod. Which I managed to do so successfully, but I'm failing to load up Slack as it's stuck in the browser loader screen for Slack. 2. I tried to authenticate via Okta RESTful API. So far, I have managed to authenticate using {{domain}}/api/v1/authn, and then subsequently using MFA via the verify endpoint {{domain}}/api/v1/authn/factors/{{factorID}}/verify which returns me a sessionToken. From here, I can successfully create a sessionCookie which have proven quite useless to me. Perhaps I am doing it wrongly.

    Now, let's run the tests. For this purpose, we are going to use dockertest, but test containers is also a good solution.

  • Gauge

    Project mention: Python-Selenium-Action: Run Selenium with Python via Github Actions using Headless or Non-Headless browsers! | /r/Python | 2023-05-03
