  Standard Go Project Layout

  

  In the case of a Go-based project my starting point is the project layout which is documented in the golang-standards Project Layout.

• gomock

  41 9,010 2.5 Go

  Discontinued GoMock is a mocking framework for the Go programming language. (by golang)

  

  Unit tests are leveraged to test individual units of code. As such it is not recommended for a developer to scaffold entire dependencies for the sake of testing a single object. Due to the way Go's specific implementations work, I've learned over time to declare interfaces for a lot of the structs that I use in Go. Interfaces not only define a contract for which struct-based implementations should adhere, but they also provide a mechanism for which struct methods can be mocked. While I've experimented with the mock package in testify, I've come to prefer the mock functionality which is provided by mockgen.

• gotestsum

  8 2,039 7.1 Go

  'go test' runner with output optimized for humans, JUnit XML for CI integration, and a summary of the test results.

  

  The go test command does not support test reporting out of the box. To generate a test report, we have to use gotestsum to generate a JUnit report. We add gotestsum to our tools.go file:

• gocover-cobertura

  1 138 0.0 Go

  golang : go tool cover to XML (Cobertura) export tool.

  To report coverage to GitLab we have to use a tool which can convert the coverage report from go test to Cobertura. We'll pull in gocover-cobertura to generate our coverage report.

• hub-feedback

  402 232 2.4

  Feedback and bug reports for the Docker Hub

  

  The next block in .gitlab-ci.yml is the services block. Since our tests use testcontainers package and we're pushing a docker container onto Dockerhub, we will need to specify a services block next. Services will enable our pipeline to leverage Docker-in-Docker DinD.

• testcontainers-go

  21 3,485 9.7 Go

  Testcontainers for Go is a Go package that makes it simple to create and clean up container-based dependencies for automated integration/smoke tests. The clean, easy-to-use API enables developers to programmatically define containers that should be run as part of a test and clean up those resources when the test is done.
