Go

// Package suite contains logic for creating testing suite structs
// and running the methods on those structs as tests. The most useful
// piece of this package is that you can create setup/teardown methods
// on your testing suites, which will run before/after the whole suite
// or individual tests (depending on which interface(s) you
// implement).
//
// A testing suite is usually built by first extending the built-in
// suite functionality from suite.Suite in testify. Alternatively,
// you could reproduce that logic on your own if you wanted (you
// just need to implement the TestingSuite interface from
// suite/interfaces.go).
//
// After that, you can implement any of the interfaces in
// suite/interfaces.go to add setup/teardown functionality to your
// suite, and add any methods that start with "Test" to add tests.
// Methods that do not match any suite interfaces and do not begin
// with "Test" will not be run by testify, and can safely be used as
// helper methods.
//
// Once you've built your testing suite, you need to run the suite
// (using suite.Run from testify) inside any function that matches the
// identity that "go test" is already looking for (i.e.
// func(*testing.T)).
//
// Regular expression to select test suites specified command-line
// argument "-run". Regular expression to select the methods
// of test suites specified command-line argument "-m".
// Suite object has assertion methods.
//
// A crude example:
// // Basic imports
// import (
// "testing"
// "github.com/stretchr/testify/assert"
// "github.com/stretchr/testify/suite"
// )
//
// // Define the suite, and absorb the built-in basic suite
// // functionality from testify - including a T() method which
// // returns the current testing context
// type ExampleTestSuite struct {
// suite.Suite
// VariableThatShouldStartAtFive int
// }
//
// // Make sure that VariableThatShouldStartAtFive is set to five
// // before each test
// func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) SetupTest() {
// suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive = 5
// }
//
// // All methods that begin with "Test" are run as tests within a
// // suite.
// func (suite *ExampleTestSuite) TestExample() {
// assert.Equal(suite.T(), 5, suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive)
// suite.Equal(5, suite.VariableThatShouldStartAtFive)
// }
//
// // In order for 'go test' to run this suite, we need to create
// // a normal test function and pass our suite to suite.Run
// func TestExampleTestSuite(t *testing.T) {
// suite.Run(t, new(ExampleTestSuite))
// }
