// Package suite contains logic for creating testing suite structs // and running the methods on those structs as tests. The most useful // piece of this package is that you can create setup/teardown methods // on your testing suites, which will run before/after the whole suite // or individual tests (depending on which interface(s) you // implement). // // A testing suite is usually built by first extending the built-in // suite functionality from suite.Suite in testify. Alternatively, // you could reproduce that logic on your own if you wanted (you // just need to implement the TestingSuite interface from // suite/interfaces.go). // // After that, you can implement any of the interfaces in // suite/interfaces.go to add setup/teardown functionality to your // suite, and add any methods that start with "Test" to add tests. // Methods that do not match any suite interfaces and do not begin // with "Test" will not be run by testify, and can safely be used as // helper methods. // // Once you've built your testing suite, you need to run the suite // (using suite.Run from testify) inside any function that matches the // identity that "go test" is already looking for (i.e. // func(*testing.T)). // // Regular expression to select test suites specified command-line // argument "-run". Regular expression to select the methods // of test suites specified command-line argument "-m". // Suite object has assertion methods. // // A crude example: // // Basic imports // import ( // "testing" // "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert" // "github.com/stretchr/testify/suite" // ) // // // Define the suite, and absorb the built-in basic suite // // functionality from testify - including a T() method which // // returns the current testing context // type ExampleTestSuite struct { // suite.Suite // VariableThatShouldStartAtFive int // } // // // Make sure that VariableThatShouldStartAtFive is set to five // // before each test // func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) SetupTest() { // suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive = 5 // } // // // All methods that begin with "Test" are run as tests within a // // suite. // func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) TestExample() { // assert.Equal(suite.T(), 5, suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive) // suite.Equal(5, suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive) // } // // // In order for 'go test' to run this suite, we need to create // // a normal test function and pass our suite to suite.Run // func TestExampleTestSuite(t *testing.T) { // suite.Run(t, new(ExampleTestSuite)) // } package suite
