A tiny test framework for making short, useful assertions in your Go tests.
Assert(t, have, want) and Refute(t, have, want) abort a test immediately with t.Fatal.
Expect(t, have, want) and Reject(t, have, want) allow a test to continue, reporting failure at the end with t.Error.
They print nice error messages, preserving the order of have (actual result) before want (expected result) to minimize confusion.
Examples of passing tests from readme_test.go:
func TestExample(t *testing.T) {
st.Expect(t, "a", "a")
st.Reject(t, 42, int64(42))
st.Assert(t, "b", "b")
st.Refute(t, 99, int64(99))
}
func TestTableExample(t *testing.T) {
examples := []struct{ a, b string }{
{"first", "first"},
{"second", "second"},
}
// Pass the index to improve the error message for table-based tests.
for i, ex := range examples {
st.Expect(t, ex, ex, i)
st.Reject(t, ex, &ex, i)
}
// Cannot pass index into Assert or Refute, they fail fast.
for _, ex := range examples {
st.Assert(t, ex, ex)
st.Refute(t, ex, &ex)
}
}=== RUN TestExample
--- PASS: TestExample (0.00 seconds)
=== RUN TestTableExample
