I am learning how to create Golang tests for an Appengine app.
The documentation examples don't make sense to me.
https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/go/tools/localunittesting/reference
Documentation seems to say you can create a context := aetest.NewContext()
When I attempt to do so, I'm getting an error that aetest.NewContext requires arguments.
$ go test -v
./skincare_test.go:12: not enough arguments in call to aetest.NewContext
have ()
want (*aetest.Options)
./skincare_test.go:12: assignment count mismatch: 3 = 2
FAIL _/Users/Bryan/work/gocode/skincarereview [build failed]
content of skincare_test.go:
package skincare
import (
"net/http"
"net/http/httptest"
"testing"
"appengine/aetest"
)
func TestIndexHandler(t *testing.T) {
ctx, done, err := aetest.NewContext()
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
defer done()
req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", "/", nil)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
rr := httptest.NewRecorder()
handler := http.HandlerFunc(root)
handler.ServeHTTP(rr, req)
if status := rr.Code; status != http.StatusOK {
t.Errorf("handler returned wrong status code: got %v want %v",
status, http.StatusOK)
}
expected := "<div>Name"
if rr.Body.String() != expected {
t.Errorf("handler returned expected body: got %v want %v",
rr.Body.String(), expected)
}
}
I learn best by looking at example code, where can I find examples of Tests for Go web applications that use Appengine datastore?
The examples in the documentation are so simple that I don't see how I'm supposed to do more complicated testing.
It says 2 things:
1) You are missing a required parameter *aetest.Options
2) that you can NOT assign result aetest.NewContext() that consist of 2 variable to a set of 3 variables.
Check what is the output of the function. I guess it is just (context.Context, error) - I suspect the done is moved to the *aetest.Options somehow.
Unfortunately my access to docs is blocked right now.
You are using the old version of the app engine package (appengine/aetest instead of google.golang.org/appengine/aetest). The newer version does not require arguments.
