assert

Lightweight assertion library based on the fluent interface from assertj

Features

The matchers included in our assert library are fully compatible with, and depend on the standard Go testing package. These just add a little syntactic sugar on top of the familiar test patterns.

To use the example from the testing documentation, here is how one would normally write a test in Go:

func TestAbs(t *testing.T) {
    got := Abs(-1)
    if got != 1 {
        t.Errorf("Abs(-1) = %d; want 1", got)
    }
}

With the matchers included in our assert package, one would write:

import "github.com/metaleaf-io/assert"

func TestAbs(t *testing.T) {
    got := Abs(-1)
    assert.With(t).
        That(got).
        IsEqualTo(1)
}

This is much more readable and ultimately leads to more maintainable code.

Usage

The matchers currently included in the assert package are:

1. IsEmpty/IsNotEmpty

   func TestIsEmpty(t *testing.T) {
       s := ""
       assert.With(t).
           That(s).
           IsEmpty()
   }

   func TestIsNotEmpty(t *testing.T) {
       s := "foobar"
       assert.With(t).
           That(s).
           IsNotEmpty()
   }

2. IsEqualTo

   func TestEquals(t *testing.T) {
       got := Abs(-1)
       assert.With(t).
           That(got).
           IsEqualTo(1)
   }

3. IsGreaterThan

   func TestIsEmpty(t *testing.T) {
       x := 1
       assert.With(t).
           That(x).
           IsGreaterThan(0)
   }

4. IsNil/IsNotNil

   func TestIsNil(t *testing.T) {
       var s *string
       assert.With(t).
           That(s).
           IsNil()
   }

   func TestIsNotNil(t *testing.T) {
       var s string
       assert.With(t).
           That(s).
           IsNotNil()
   }

5. IsOk

   func TestIsOk(t *testing.T) {
       f, err := io.Open("filename.ext")
       assert.With(t).
           That(err).
           IsOk()
   }

6. ThatPanics

   func TestThatPanics(t *testing.T) {
       f := func() {
           panic("error")
       }
       assert.With(t).
           ThatPanics(f)
   }
