Test is very needed in todays development. In go, there is a powerful tool to do a unit Test. let’s say we have a file like below.
package calc
func Sum(a int, b int) int {
return a + b
}
save the file as sum.go, and make your own test file as sum_test.go. you can easily make the test file to put _test.go. you should follow the naming convetion for mighty go.
package calc
import "testing" // go basic test
func TestSum(t *testing.T) { // Test + Function Name
// arg would be basic t *testing.T
r := Sum(1, 2) // we are adding 1+2.
if r != 3 { // when is not 3? it means it is failed!
t.Error("WRONG. r=", r) // error
}
}
Functions that perform unit tests must adhere to the following rules: Otherwise, the compiler will not recognize the test code.
Test functions always start with Test, like TestSum. Test is followed by the function name, and the first letter of the function name should always be capitalized. E.g. TestSum, TestReadData, TestConvert It always takes a parameter of type * testing.T. Writing test code is simple. You only need to determine if it fits with the conclusions you need to put in the function and then come out. In this case, since the Sum function adds two numbers, it is normal to get 3, which is the sum of 1 and 2. If you don’t get 3, the function is implemented incorrectly, so use the t.Error function to print an error.
In the console (terminal), go to the GOPATH / src / calc directory and run the following command (on Windows, run a command prompt or PowerShell): I set GOPATH to this project.
make sure always you have $GOPATH settings!
~$ cd $GOPATH/src/calc
~/hello_project/src/calc$ go test
PASS
ok calc 0.088s
with go test, you can test your all _test.go function with Testblabla.... functions.
There are many test command options, like -v and -coverage, and you can easily find it on the go site
