    mockcompose generates mocking implementation for Go classes, interfaces and functions

  • As a Go newbie, the on-boarding process to Golang went relatively smoothly except a small glitch when it came to search for a mocking framework to test out a Go class implementation. I was a bit surprised to realize that I was not able to find a on-shelf tool to help me mock a class method. It might be an edge case scenario that I wanted to mock a class method, but I do believe that this is a valid use case, so I went ahead to spend a weekend building such a tool: mockcompose. It was originally aimed to just solve this one particular use case, therefore, it had to be used together with mockery (one of the great tools I found during my search in the period). I later refined the tool to cover mocking code generation for Go interfaces and functions, mockcompose can now be used in most of Go unit test scenarios. Please check it out and give it a try, I hope the tool is useful, feel free to drop your feedback and share with your opinion there.
