Menu:
Installation
$ go get github.com/smartystreets/goconvey
Quick start
Make a test, for example:
package package_name
import (
"testing"
. "github.com/smartystreets/goconvey/convey"
)
func TestSpec(t *testing.T) {
// Only pass t into top-level Convey calls
Convey("Given some integer with a starting value", t, func() {
x := 1
Convey("When the integer is incremented", func() {
x++
Convey("The value should be greater by one", func() {
So(x, ShouldEqual, 2)
})
})
})
}
In the browser
Start up the GoConvey web server at your project's path:
$ $GOPATH/bin/goconvey
Then watch the test results display in your browser at:
http://localhost:8080
If the browser doesn't open automatically, please click http://localhost:8080 to open manually.
There you have it.
As long as GoConvey is running, test results will automatically update in your browser window.
The design is responsive, so you can squish the browser real tight if you need to put it beside your code.
The web UI supports traditional Go tests, so use it even if you're not using GoConvey tests.
In the terminal
Just do what you do best:
$ go test
Or if you want the output to include the story:
$ go test -v
