Go Testing Skill
Provides guidance and automation for Golang testing tasks in the MCPSpy project.
Testing Philosophy
- Use
requirelibrary for assertions that should stop test execution on failure - Use
assertlibrary for non-critical assertions where test should continue - Choose internal vs external package testing based on what needs to be tested
- Test internal functions by placing test files in the same package (no
_testsuffix) - Avoid creating externally facing functions solely for testing purposes
When to Use This Skill
- Running unit tests with
go test - Writing new test files and test cases
- Debugging and fixing failing tests
- Implementing test fixtures and mocks
- Improving test coverage for the MCPSpy project
