Is gomock still maintained and recommended?

• moq

  Interface mocking tool for go generate

• Testify

  24 19,779 5.3 Go

  A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library

  

  To answer OP directly, I am largely quite happy with mockery (and testify) to write expressive tests.

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

  

  Looking at gomock's commit history, it seems like there hasn't been much activity on the project in a couple of years. I'm wondering if this is the case of software being mostly done and just in maintenance mode, or if gomock is falling behind. The reason I fear for the latter is there are still issues being opened up that don't seem to be engaged very much.

  A mock code autogenerator for Golang (by vektra)

  

  When there's just one heavyweight dependency you're interacting with, perhaps a one-off stub/fake is simpler, but I would posit that auto-generated mocks via things like mockery + go:generate leave less test code to maintain vs. perhaps many stubs across the project.
