No, and I doubt such an API will be added. >From `go help cache` and `go help test` it seems that there is no control variable to disable test caching. There is only a control variable for debugging: `GODEBUG=gocachetest=1`. However, since all your integration tests have an `integration` build tag and you need to run them with `-tags=integration`, I'm not sure to understand why you say that "I need to remember when I'm running an integration test and when I'm not". You just need to specify `-count=1` every time you specify `-tags=integration`. Regards Manlio -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
