Go Unit Testing at Compass

1. Go Unit Testing at Compass

1.1. The Basics of Go Unit Testing

func Sub(x int, y int) int {
   
   return x - y
}

test code:

import "testing"

func TestResult_2(t *testing.T) {
   
   x, y := 6, 3
   actual := Sub_1(x, y)
   expected := x - y
   if actual != expected {
   
      t.Fail()
   }
}

1.2. Handling Many Test Cases with Test Tables

func Sub(x int, y int) int {
   
   if x > y {
   
      return x - y
   }
   if y > x {
   
      return y - x
   }
   return 0
}

test code:

import (
   "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
   "testing"
)

var subTests = []struct {
   
   x        int
   y        int
   expected int
   message  string
}{
   
   {
   6, 2, 4, "x greater than y"},
   {
   2, 6, 4, "y greater than x"},
   {
   2, 2, 0, "x and y equal"},
   {
   -4, -2, 2, "negative values, y greater than x"},
}

func TestSub(t *testing.T) {
   
   for _, test := range subTests {
   
      assert.
