TestLib is a library that improves on Go's internal unit testing framework.
go get github.com/liquidgecka/testlibWithin a Test function you can setup and use a TestLib instance. This will provide very short and easy to follow functions for doing thing within the unit test. Ideally you can pass the TestLib object to helper functions as well.
package example
import (
"os"
"testing"
"github.com/liquidgecka/testlib"
)
func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
T := testlib.NewT(t)
defer T.Finish()
// Create a temporary file that will be cleaned up when the test finishes.
// If there is an error making the temporary file then the test is
// automatically terminated via a call to Fatal.
tmpFile := T.WriteTempFile("contents")
// Use the ioutil.ReadFile call to read the contents of the file. Since
// the file should exist we can use ExpectSuccess to assert that the
// call succeeded without error. If err is not nil then the test will be
// terminated with a call to Fatal.
contents, err := ioutil.ReadFile(tmpFile)
T.ExpectSuccess(err)
// Next we can check that the read results match the contents we wrote
// earlier. If not then this call will automatically call Fatal. Note that
// if the objects are NOT the same then this will also output a difference
// between them to make it easier to see what happened.
T.Equal(contents, []byte("contents"))
}
I gladly accept PR's and will work on issues if filed.
