  Mock implementations for testing (using mockery)

• Professional Testing Experience in Golang

  At the organization where I collaborate, the testing stack used testify/mock. During the first three weeks working with this library, I identified that, although it's very popular and has many features, mock setup can be verbose, especially when configuring multiple expectations. While there are tools like mockery (a code generator that creates mocks using testify/mock internally) and recent versions have improved significantly, the usage pattern based on strings and runtime assertions didn't align with my preference for compile-time safety.

• I Write Tests in Go

  I'm far too lazy to write mocks by hand in go. You can generate a mock for a given interface with mockery https://github.com/vektra/mockery

  Some of the features: - ✅ Using Vertical Slice Architecture as a high level architecture - ✅ Using Event Driven Architecture on top of RabbitMQ Message Broker with a custom [Event Bus](pkg/messaging/bus/) - ✅ Using Event Sourcing in Audit Based services like [Orders Service](services/orders/) - ✅ Using CQRS Pattern and Mediator Patternon top of Go-MediatR library - ✅ Using Dependency Injection and Inversion of Controlon top of uber-go/fx library - ✅ Using RESTFul api with Echo framework and using swagger with swaggo/swag library - ✅ Using Postgres and EventStoreDB to write databases with fully supports transactions(ACID) - ✅ Using MongoDB and Elastic Search for read databases (NOSQL) - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Distributed Tracing with using Jaeger and Zipkin - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Metrics with using Prometheus and Grafana - ✅ Using Unit Test for testing small units with mocking dependent classes and using Mockery for mocking dependencies - ✅ Using End2End Test and Integration Test for testing features with all of their real dependeinces using docker containers (cleanup tests) and testcontainers-go library

• Mocking unexported interfaces?

  https://github.com/vektra/mockery is the better mocking framework in my biased opinion. The Google maintainers for gomock seem to have neglected the project.

• I want to contribute to open source but don't know where to start

  There are some one liner changes you can implement in https://github.com/vektra/mockery

• Is gomock still maintained and recommended?
  7 projects | /r/golang | 6 Mar 2023

  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.

• vektra/mockery: v2.21.0 includes "packages" config section, allowing 5x faster mock generation and more fine-grained control over mocks
