Datadog SDK for Go testing

This SDK is part of Datadog's CI Visibility product, currently in beta.

Getting Started

Installing

Installation of the Datadog Go testing SDK is done via go get:

go get -u github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing

Requires:

• Go >= 1.12
• Datadog's Trace Agent >= 5.21.1

Instrumenting your tests

To instrument tests that use Go's native testing package, you have to call ddtesting.Run(m) in your TestMain function, and call ddtesting.StartTest(t) or ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t) and defer finish() on each test.

For example:

package go_sdk_sample

import (
	"os"
	"testing"

	ddtesting "github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing"
)

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
	os.Exit(ddtesting.Run(m))
}

// Simple test without `context` usage
func TestSimpleExample(t *testing.T) {
	_, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
	defer finish()

	// Test code...
}

// Test with subtests using `StartTestWithContext`
func TestExampleWithSubTests(t *testing.T) {
	ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
	defer finish()

	testCases := []struct {
		name string
	}{
		{"Sub01"},
		{"Sub02"},
		{"Sub03"},
		{"Sub04"},
		{"Sub05"},
	}

	for _, tc := range testCases {
		t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
			_, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
			defer finish()

			// Test code ...
		})
	}
}

Note that after this, you can use ctx to refer to the context of the running test, which has information about its trace. Use it when you make any external call to see the traces within the test span.

For example:

package go_sdk_sample

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"net/http/httptest"
	"os"
	"testing"

	ddtesting "github.com/DataDog/dd-sdk-go-testing"
	ddhttp "gopkg.in/DataDog/dd-trace-go.v1/contrib/net/http"
	ddtracer "gopkg.in/DataDog/dd-trace-go.v1/ddtrace/tracer"
)

func TestMain(m *testing.M) {
	os.Exit(ddtesting.Run(m))
}

func TestWithExternalCalls(t *testing.T) {
	ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTest(t)
	defer finish()

	s := httptest.NewServer(http.HandlerFunc(func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
		w.Write([]byte("Hello World"))
	}))
	defer s.Close()

	t.Run("default", func(t *testing.T) {
		ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
		defer finish()

		rt := ddhttp.WrapRoundTripper(http.DefaultTransport)
		client := &http.Client{
			Transport: rt,
		}

		req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", s.URL+"/hello/world", nil)
		if err != nil {
			t.FailNow()
		}

		req = req.WithContext(ctx)

		client.Do(req)
	})

	t.Run("custom-name", func(t *testing.T) {
		ctx, finish := ddtesting.StartTestWithContext(ctx, t)
		defer finish()

		span, _ := ddtracer.SpanFromContext(ctx)

		customNamer := func(req *http.Request) string {
			value := fmt.Sprintf("%s %s", req.Method, req.URL.Path)
			span.SetTag("customNamer.Value", value)
			return value
		}

		rt := ddhttp.WrapRoundTripper(http.DefaultTransport, ddhttp.RTWithResourceNamer(customNamer))
		client := &http.Client{
			Transport: rt,
		}

		req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", s.URL+"/hello/world", nil)
		if err != nil {
			t.FailNow()
		}

		req = req.WithContext(ctx)

		client.Do(req)
	})
}
