Assert

Fork of the very nice testza with some modifications. This version uses comparable from newer versions of golang and drops the Assert prefix from the functions. It also runs t.FailNow() for assert.NoError, and introduces json comparisons.

go get github.com/chalk-ai/assert


Description

assert is a full-featured testing framework for Go. It integrates with the default test runner, so you can use it with the standard go test tool. assert contains easy-to-use methods, like assertions, output capturing, fuzzing, and much more.

The main goal of assert is to provide an easy and fun experience writing tests and providing a nice, user-friendly output.

Features

Feature Description
Assertions Assertions allow you to quickly check objects for expected values.
Fuzzing Fuzzing allows you to check functions against sets of generated input parameters.
A couple lines of test code can run thousands of sanity tests.
Output Capture Capture and validate output written to the terminal.
Perfect for CLI tools.
Snapshots Snapshot objects between test runs, to ensure a consistent behaviour.
Clean Output Clean and colorful output provides you the needed details in an easy-to-understand format.
System Information assert prints information about the system on startup.
You can quickly figure out what's wrong, when a user submits an issue.
Well Documented Every function of assert is well documented and contains an example to make usage super easy.
Customizable assert features customizable settings, if you want to change something.
Test flags You can configure assert via flags too!
That makes it super simple to change test runs, or output, without touching code!

Getting Started

See the examples below for a quick introduction!

// --- Some Examples ---

// - Some assertions -
assert.AssertTrue(t, true) // -> Pass
assert.AssertNoError(t, err) // -> Pass
assert.AssertEqual(t, object, object) // -> Pass
// ...

// - Testing console output -
// Test the output of your CLI tool easily!
terminalOutput, _ := assert.CaptureStdout(func(w io.Writer) error {fmt.Println("Hello"); return nil})
asssert.AssertEqual(t, terminalOutput, "Hello\n") // -> Pass

// - Fuzzing -
// Testing a function that accepts email addresses as a parameter:

// Testset of many different email addresses
emailAddresses := assert.FuzzStringEmailAddresses()

// Run a test for every string in the test set
assert.FuzzStringRunTests(t, emailAddresses, func(t *testing.T, index int, str string) {
  user, domain, err := internal.ParseEmailAddress(str) // Use your function
  assert.AssertNoError(t, err) // Assert that your function does not return an error
  assert.AssertNotZero(t, user) // Assert that the user is returned
  assert.AssertNotZero(t, domain) // Assert that the domain is returned
})

// And that's just a few examples of what you can do with assert!

Fuzz Utils

FuzzUtilDistinctSet

func FuzzUtilDistinctSet[setType comparable](testSet []setType) []setType

FuzzUtilDistinctSet returns a set with removed duplicates.

Example:

uniqueSet := assert.FuzzUtilDistinctSet([]string{"A", "C", "A", "B", "A", "B", "C"})
// uniqueSet => []string{"A", "C", "B"}

FuzzUtilLimitSet

func FuzzUtilLimitSet[setType any](testSet []setType, max int) []setType

FuzzUtilLimitSet returns a random sample of a test set with a maximal size.

Example:

limitedSet := assert.FuzzUtilLimitSet(assert.FuzzStringFull(), 10)

FuzzUtilMergeSets

func FuzzUtilMergeSets[setType any](sets ...[]setType) (merged []setType)

FuzzUtilMergeSets merges multiple test sets into one. All test sets must have the same type.

Example:

mergedSet := assert.FuzzUtilMergeSets(assert.FuzzIntGenerateRandomNegative(3, 0), assert.FuzzIntGenerateRandomPositive(2, 0))

FuzzUtilModifySet

func FuzzUtilModifySet[setType any](inputSet []setType, modifier func(index int, value setType) setType) (floats []setType)

FuzzUtilModifySet returns a modified version of a test set.

Example:

 modifiedSet := assert.FuzzUtilModifySet(assert.FuzzIntFull(), func(i int, value int) int {
		return i * 2 // double every value in the test set
	})

FuzzUtilRunTests

func FuzzUtilRunTests[setType any](t testRunner, testSet []setType, testFunc func(t *testing.T, index int, f setType))

FuzzUtilRunTests runs a test for every value in a test set. You can use the value as input parameter for your functions, to sanity test against many different cases. This ensures that your functions have a correct error handling and enables you to test against hundreds of cases easily.

Example:

assert.FuzzUtilRunTests(t, assert.FuzzStringEmailAddresses(), func(t *testing.T, index int, emailAddress string) {
	// Test logic
	// err := YourFunction(emailAddress)
	// assert.AssertNoError(t, err)
	// ...
})

GetColorsEnabled

func GetColorsEnabled() bool

GetColorsEnabled returns current value of ColorsEnabled setting. ColorsEnabled controls if assert should print colored output.

GetDiffContextLines

func GetDiffContextLines() int

GetDiffContextLines returns current value of DiffContextLines setting. DiffContextLines setting controls how many lines are shown around a changed diff line. If set to -1 it will show full diff.

GetLineNumbersEnabled

func GetLineNumbersEnabled() bool

GetLineNumbersEnabled returns current value of LineNumbersEnabled setting. LineNumbersEnabled controls if line numbers should be printed in failing tests.

GetRandomSeed

func GetRandomSeed() int64

GetRandomSeed returns current value of the random seed setting.

GetShowStartupMessage

func GetShowStartupMessage() bool

GetShowStartupMessage returns current value of showStartupMessage setting. showStartupMessage setting controls if the startup message should be printed.

Settings

SetColorsEnabled

func SetColorsEnabled(enabled bool)

SetColorsEnabled controls if assert should print colored output. You should use this in the init() method of the package, which contains your tests.

This setting can also be set by the command line flag --assert.disable-color.

Example:

init() {
  assert.SetColorsEnabled(false) // Disable colored output
  assert.SetColorsEnabled(true)  // Enable colored output
}

SetDiffContextLines

func SetDiffContextLines(lines int)

SetDiffContextLines controls how many lines are shown around a changed diff line. If set to -1 it will show full diff. You should use this in the init() method of the package, which contains your tests.

This setting can also be set by the command line flag --assert.diff-context-lines.

Example:

init() {
  assert.SetDiffContextLines(-1) // Show all diff lines
  assert.SetDiffContextLines(3)  // Show 3 lines around every changed line
}

SetLineNumbersEnabled

func SetLineNumbersEnabled(enabled bool)

SetLineNumbersEnabled controls if line numbers should be printed in failing tests. You should use this in the init() method of the package, which contains your tests.

This setting can also be set by the command line flag --assert.disable-line-numbers.

Example:

init() {
  assert.SetLineNumbersEnabled(false) // Disable line numbers
  assert.SetLineNumbersEnabled(true)  // Enable line numbers
}

SetRandomSeed

func SetRandomSeed(seed int64)

SetRandomSeed sets the seed for the random generator used in assert. Using the same seed will result in the same random sequences each time and guarantee a reproducible test run. Use this setting, if you want a 100% deterministic test. You should use this in the init() method of the package, which contains your tests.

This setting can also be set by the command line flag --assert.seed.

Example:

init() {
  assert.SetRandomSeed(1337) // Set the seed to 1337
  assert.SetRandomSeed(time.Now().UnixNano()) // Set the seed back to the current time (default | non-deterministic)
}

SetShowStartupMessage

func SetShowStartupMessage(show bool)

SetShowStartupMessage controls if the startup message should be printed. You should use this in the init() method of the package, which contains your tests.

This setting can also be set by the command line flag --assert.disable-startup-message.

Example:

init() {
  assert.SetShowStartupMessage(false) // Disable the startup message
  assert.SetShowStartupMessage(true)  // Enable the startup message
}

Snapshot

SnapshotCreate

func SnapshotCreate(name string, snapshotObject any) error

SnapshotCreate creates a snapshot of an object, which can be validated in future test runs. Using this function directly will override previous snapshots with the same name. You most likely want to use SnapshotCreateOrValidate.

NOTICE: \r\n will be replaced with \n to make the files consistent between operating systems.

Example:

assert.SnapshotCreate(t.Name(), objectToBeSnapshotted)

SnapshotCreateOrValidate

func SnapshotCreateOrValidate(t testRunner, name string, object any, msg ...any) error

SnapshotCreateOrValidate creates a snapshot of an object which can be used in future test runs. It is good practice to name your snapshots the same as the test they are created in. You can do that automatically by using t.Name() as the second parameter, if you are using the inbuilt test system of Go. If a snapshot already exists, the function will not create a new one, but validate the exisiting one. To re-create a snapshot, you can delete the according file in /testdata/snapshots/.

NOTICE: \r\n will be replaced with \n to make the files consistent between operating systems.

Example:

assert.SnapshotCreateOrValidate(t, t.Name(), object)
assert.SnapshotCreateOrValidate(t, t.Name(), object, "Optional Message")

SnapshotValidate

func SnapshotValidate(t testRunner, name string, actual any, msg ...any) error

SnapshotValidate validates an already exisiting snapshot of an object. You most likely want to use SnapshotCreateOrValidate.

NOTICE: \r\n will be replaced with \n to make the files consistent between operating systems.

Example:

assert.SnapshotValidate(t, t.Name(), objectToBeValidated)
assert.SnapshotValidate(t, t.Name(), objectToBeValidated, "Optional message")
