  Write better integration tests! Dockertest helps you boot up ephermal docker images for your Go tests with minimal work.

  

Hey, If you just want to run tests against database normally I just use an interface for repository methods, and initialise a new repository connected to a new Database, personally I usually use dockertest . I launch a docker for the test DB instance, and use a defer method to drop the used table after each test. Doing this you can contain the instance of docker with DB locally and it's automatically managed by docker test.

• testfixtures

  Ruby on Rails like test fixtures for Go. Write tests against a real database

  

A lot of good suggestions here, I would also take a look at go-testfixtures which allows you to create some simple yaml-based fixture data to use with unit testing. It's quick and easy, but yes can get unwieldy the more you add.
