go-golden

Yet another Go package for working with *.golden test files, with a focus on simplicity.

Import

import "github.com/jimeh/go-golden"

Usage

func TestExampleMyStruct(t *testing.T) {
    got, err := json.Marshal(&MyStruct{Foo: "Bar"})
    require.NoError(t, err)

    want := golden.Do(t, got)

    assert.Equal(t, want, got)
}

The above example will read/write to:

• testdata/TestExampleMyStruct.golden

The call to golden.Do() is equivalent to:

if golden.Update() {
    golden.Set(t, got)
}
want := golden.Get(t)

To update the golden file (have golden.Update() return true), simply set the GOLDEN_UPDATE environment variable to one of 1, y, t, yes, on, or true when running tests.
