• counterfeiter

  12 941 7.3 Go

  A tool for generating self-contained, type-safe test doubles in go

  then just replace whole function, don't generate manually the mock '__') or it would get out of hand fast, you can just use codegen that static typed like https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

• integresql

  6 737 8.9 Go

  IntegreSQL manages isolated PostgreSQL databases for your integration tests.

  

  Mocking has some advantages, but so does using a real database, at work we use https://github.com/allaboutapps/integresql and I quite like the approach that integresql has, since it makes possible to have a fresh database with your dummy data for every test without impacting the execution speed (compared to dropping an re-creating the database).
