Is gomock still maintained and recommended?

1. moq

   1 16 2,108 5.2 Go

   Interface mocking tool for go generate (by matryer)

   

   ``` https://github.com/matryer/moq

2. Stream

   getstream.io featured

   Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.

   

3. Testify

   2 74 24,909 8.8 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.

4. gomock

   3 42 9,010 2.5 Go

   Discontinued 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.

5. mockery

   4 20 6,697 9.6 Go

   A mock code autogenerator for Go (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.
