Re: [go-nuts] using ginkgo

[Keith Brown]

thank for the response John.

My intention is to run integration test where I specify my test in english 
(acceptance test driven tests). I dont mind generating the binary but I 
would like to use the binary to test components such as. 1) if the web 
server is alive. 2) if a certain url gives me a 202 for a POST/GET etc...

Yes, it is being used by multiple CloudFoundry projects [1]

Yes.

I'm not sure what you mean by library, but you can pre-compile a test
binary by running `go test -c  -o a.out'. You loose certain
features by doing so. For example, you won't be able to run the tests in
parallel.

Hope I answered your question. If not, may be adding more context on
what you're trying to do would help.

[go-nuts] using ginkgo

[Keith Brown]

I would like to have a tool for testing infrastructure components. I 
stumbled across Ginkgo. Does anyone use it?  Does it need a go compiler for 
tests? My intention is to write simple tests, "Is server up?". "Does the 
file contain abc". But I don't want to have the go compiler installed to 
run the library. Does such a tool exist?
