• ginkgo

  5 5,488 9.2 Go

  A Modern Testing Framework for Go

  Project mention: Testza - A modern test framework with pretty output | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-08-25

  What are people’s thoughts on testing frameworks? I’ve heard that most devs only use the testing package in the standard library and the testify package for assertions— I assume this is because Go is meant to be lightweight and scalable, and adding external dependencies basically goes against that. But I’ve also seen devs use packages like ginkgo to make tests more structured and readable. What do you guys think?

• go-cmp

  Package for comparing Go values in tests

  

  Project mention: What annoys you about Go? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-10-26

  4 1,543 7.8 Go

  Project mention: Learning Go by examples: part 6 - Create a gRPC app in Go | dev.to | 2021-08-18

  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.

  Project mention: How to mock DB for unit tests? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2021-02-08

  You could check out Gnomock (https://github.com/orlangure/gnomock). It offers a different approach than what you asked, but maybe it'll suit your use case. It allows to easily setup a real DB like postgres in a docker container and then delete ot when tests are done.
