This Skill codifies best practices for Go testing, ensuring tests use fakes over mocks, leverage golden files, and detect goroutine leaks early to improve reliability and maintainability.
Run the project tests with go test ./... and enable race detection to ensure thread-safety.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Golden files store expected test output, allowing Go tests to compare actual results against saved fixtures to catch regressions. This pattern standardizes output validation by recording known good data and diffing future test runs against it.
Goroutine leaks are detected using goleak checks at the end of Go tests to verify all spawned routines terminate. Integrating goleak ensures tests clean up properly, preventing resource exhaustion and unpredictable behavior in service boundaries.
HTTP handlers are tested using the standard library httptest utility to simulate servers and clients. This built-in tooling allows developers to send mock requests and record responses, ensuring fast and predictable test execution without external dependencies.
Run Go tests with race detection by executing the command with the race flag to identify concurrent access issues. This standard library feature ensures thread safety by detecting data races during test execution across project boundaries.
