Is provides a quick, clean and simple framework for writing Go tests.

Installation

To install, simply execute:

go get -u github.com/tylerb/is/v3

Usage

func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
	assert := is.New(t)

	expected := 10
	actual, _ := awesomeFunction()
	assert.Equal(actual, expected)
}

If you'd like a bit more information when a test fails, you may use the Msg() method:

func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
	assert := is.New(t)

	expected := 10
	actual, details := awesomeFunction()
	assert.Msg("actual details: %s", details).Equal(actual, expected)
}

By default, any assertion that fails will halt termination of the test. If you would like to run a group of assertions in a row, you may use the Lax method. This is useful for asserting/printing many values at once, so you can correct all the issues between test runs.

func TestSomething(t *testing.T) {
	assert := is.New(t)

	assert.Lax(func (lax Asserter) {
		lax.Equal(1, 2)
		lax.True(false)
		lax.ShouldPanic(func(){})
	}) 
}

If any of the assertions fail inside that function, an additional error will be printed and test execution will halt.
