Testza 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. Testza contains easy to use methods, like assertions, output capturing, fuzzing, and much more.

The main goal of testza is to provide an easy and fun experience writing tests and providing a nice, user-friendly output. Even developers who never used testza, will get into it quickly.

See the examples below for a quick introduction!

// --- Some Examples ---

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

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

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

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

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

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

FuzzUtilModifySet returns a modified version of a test set.

Example:

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

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:

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

func GetColorsEnabled() bool

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

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.

func GetLineNumbersEnabled() bool

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

func GetRandomSeed() int64

GetRandomSeed returns current value of the random seed setting.

func GetShowStartupMessage() bool

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

func SetColorsEnabled(enabled bool)

SetColorsEnabled controls if testza 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 --testza.disable-color.

Example:

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

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 --testza.diff-context-lines.

Example:

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

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 --testza.disable-line-numbers.

Example:

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

func SetRandomSeed(seed int64)

SetRandomSeed sets the seed for the random generator used in testza. 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 --testza.seed.

Example:

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

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 --testza.disable-startup-message.

Example:

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

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:

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

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:

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

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:

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