gotests makes writing Go tests easy. It's a Golang commandline tool that generates table driven tests based on its target source files' function and method signatures. Any new dependencies in the test files are automatically imported.
The following shows gotests in action using the official Sublime Text 3 plugin.
There's a plugin for Emacs too.
Use go get to install and update:
$ go get -u github.com/cweill/gotests/...From the commandline, gotests can generate tests for specific Go source files or an entire directory. By default, it prints its output to stdout.
$ gotests [options] PATH ...Available options:
-all generate tests for all functions and methods
-excl regexp. generate tests for functions and methods that don't
match. Takes precedence over -only, -exported, and -all
-exported generate tests for exported functions and methods. Takes
precedence over -only and -all
-i print test inputs in error messages
-only regexp. generate tests for functions and methods that match only.
Takes precedence over -all
-w write output to (test) files instead of stdout
