* Package name : golang-github-go-quicktest-qt Version : 1.101.0-1 Upstream Author : * URL : https://github.com/go-quicktest/qt * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : Quick helpers for testing Go applications using generics. qt: quicker Go tests . go get github.com/go-quicktest/qt . Package qt provides a collection of Go helpers for writing tests. It uses generics, so requires Go 1.18 at least. . For a complete API reference, see the package documentation (https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-quicktest/qt). . Quicktest helpers can be easily integrated inside regular Go tests, for instance: . import "github.com/go-quicktest/qt" . func TestFoo(t *testing.T) { t.Run("numbers", func(t *testing.T) { numbers, err := somepackage.Numbers() qt.Assert(t, qt.DeepEquals(numbers, []int{42, 47}) qt.Assert(t, qt.ErrorMatches(err, "bad wolf")) }) t.Run("nil", func(t *testing.T) { got := somepackage.MaybeNil() qt.Assert(t, qt.IsNil(got), qt.Commentf("value: %v", somepackage.Value)) }) } . Assertions . An assertion looks like this, where qt.Equals could be replaced by any available checker. If the assertion fails, the underlying t.Fatal method is called to describe the error and abort the test. . qt.Assert(t, qt.Equals(someValue, wantValue)) . If you don’t want to abort on failure, use Check instead, which calls Error instead of Fatal: . qt.Check(t, qt.Equals(someValue, wantValue)) . The library provides some base checkers like Equals, DeepEquals, Matches, ErrorMatches, IsNil and others. More can be added by implementing the Checker interface. . Other helpers . The Patch helper makes it a little more convenient to change a global or other variable for the duration of a test. This package is being added to support cilium/pwru which is RFP in BTS #1063031.
