avocado-framework-plugin-golang

This optional plugin enables Avocado to list and run tests written using the Go programming language.

To install the Golang plugin from pip, use:

$ sudo pip install avocado-framework-plugin-golang

If you’re running Fedora, you can install the package golang-tests and run any of the tests included there. You can try running the math or bufio tests like this:

$ GOPATH=/usr/lib/golang avocado list math
golang math:TestNaN
golang math:TestAcos
golang math:TestAcosh
golang math:TestAsin
... skip ...

And:

$ GOPATH=/usr/lib/golang avocado run math

Another option is to try the countavocados examples provided with avocado. Please fetch the avocado code where this example is included.

$ git clone https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado.git

Also, disable the Module-aware mode, this can be done with the GO111MODULE environment variable:

$ go env -w GO111MODULE=off

Then you can list and run the countavocados tests provided with the plugin:

$ GOPATH=$PWD/avocado/optional_plugins/golang/tests  avocado -V list countavocados
Type   Test                              Tag(s)
golang countavocados:TestEmptyContainers
golang countavocados:TestNoContainers
golang countavocados:ExampleContainers

Resolver             Reference     Info
