vim-go-find-tests

vim plugin for go-find-tests, a tool which finds tests covering a specified position.

Overview

This plugin adds the following commands:

1. :GoFindTests - Populates quickfix list (similar to :vimgrep) with tests covering the block of code under the cursor.
2. :GoCoveringTests - Prints the names of the tests covering the position under the cursor.

For full docucumentation see doc/go-find-tests.txt

Troubleshooting

Please try the following, if the problem persists feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request.

I'm seeing an error

• Does the error start with "Error determining covering tests"?
  • do the tests pass with -count=1 and -race set?
    • these flags aren't set while determining coverage but they may indicate an underlying problem
  • do the tests have any dependency on the file structure (e.g. loading a file from a relative path)?
    • this may cause issues since for performance reasons this tool first compiles a test binary instead of running go test directly
    • if this ends up being the issue please consider opening an issue since the tool should be able to handle this
  • do the tests rely on a connection to some external process (e.g. db, http connections)
    • by default this tool runs each test in a separate go routine for performance reasons, which may cause conflicts when establishing these connections.
    • the -seq flag will result in tests being ran sequentially instead

Unexpected results (no covering tests, specific test not returned)

• do coverage visualization tools (such as go tool cover) mark the specified position as covered?
  • often things like brackets an parentheses won't be marked
• do the tests pass with -count=1 and -race set?
  • these flags aren't set while determining coverage but they may indicate an underlying problem

Project status

This plugin is still in "beta" and shall remain so until the first major release (v1.0.0) of the go-find-tests tool.
